1986 Gmc 1500 - Rust-free, Short Box, Supercharged 400 Small Block on 2040-cars
Saint Louis, Missouri, United States
|
1986 GMC 1500 short box – Super charged! I’ve owned this truck for about 4 years. The engine had already been swapped to a 400 short block. I have done no work to the bottom end, but have installed all of the goodies on top: high pressure fuel pump and regulator, custom high pressure carburetor by Quick Fuel Technology – Super Street Series, XDI electronic ignition, and Vortech super charger – centrifugal style. It’s currently running six pounds of boost. The system is upgradeable to 17 pounds of boost. I have the rev limiter set at 5000 rpm – because no work has been done on the bottom end.
Additionally, the front suspension has been replaced and limited slip installed in the rear. The paint has recently been cut and buffed to bring out the shine of the original paint. Alpine stereo with equalizer and subwoofer is installed. Everything else is original. This is an Oregon truck so there is no rust!
She runs beautifully! Start-up could be helped with an automatic choke and a shift kit installed. Dyno-tune would be nice, too. I had a tire slashed and haven’t replaced it yet. You can see in the pictures two mag rims on the truck and two off as well as two original rims on the truck and two off without tires mounted. The truck has a cover.
The only mechanical problem I know of is a slow electrical drain on the battery. (When it’s sitting I just take one lead off the battery to keep it charged.) Body is original and in great shape – rust free. The grill was replaced with the Chevy bowtie and it is cracked near the left headlight.
Was planning to install a high performance, rebuilt 327 which has Crane cams roller camshaft, Eagle rods and crankshaft, King engine bearings, compression cams roller rockers and timing chain set and cam button, Lunati roller lifters and push rods, Prommax heads, Chevy performance head gaskets, Felpro Permadry oil pan and valve cover gaskets, Felpro timing cover set and rear main seal, ARP head and main studs, Melling high volume oil pump and hardened oil pump drive, sealed power piston rings, DSS Racing forged pistons, and Cat performance products billet steel crankshaft girdle. This is included as is an old B&M roots style super charger. For sale locally, auction may end early.

GM recalling Silverado and Sierra HD diesel pickups over fuel gauge follies
Fri, 03 Jan 2014General Motors is recalling 9,733 of its heavy-duty twins over concerns with their 6.6-liter diesel engines and dual fuel tanks. The recall covers some Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD pickups from model years 2012 and 2013, although the exact dates that the recalled trucks were built isn't specified. There's also no mention of how many models come from Chevrolet and how many are from GMC.
The problem rests with the transfer pump responsible for moving fuel from the rear tank to the front tank - it could fail, resulting in an inaccurate fuel gauge. It hardly requires explaining, but a faulty fuel gauge could leave drivers in a situation where they run out of diesel.
GM will begin notifying customers of affected vehicles, who will be asked to report to their dealers for a free replacement transfer pump.
NHTSA opens safety investigations into Toyota, GM and Honda crossovers
Fri, 08 Jun 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is evidently keeping itself very busy these days, as the federal agency has just announced it is launching or renewing investigations into Toyota, Honda and General Motors crossovers.
2006-2008 model year Toyota RAV4 crossovers are under review for allegations of rear tie-rod rust which can result in failure. NHTSA also said it is probing some 35 complaints about 2005 Honda Pilot models with inappropriate activation of the vehicles' stability control system. The alleged malfunction can cause the vehicles to slow down or stop in bad unsafe situations. At the moment, NHTSA is reviewing a petition regarding the Pilot issue, a move that will determine whether it needs to open a full-blown investigation.
In addition, Saturn Outlook and GMC Acadia three-row crossovers built in 2007-2009 are getting looked at for "loss of low beam headlamp" function. One complainant said the wiring in his Outlook overheated and melted. NHTSA says it has received 415 complaints about the problem and a GM spokesman confirmed that the automaker already started a "Customer Satisfaction Program" in December to address the issue.
GM thinks Colorado and Canyon midsize trucks will lure crossover buyers
Tue, 29 Jul 2014The invitation to come out and sample product at the General Motors Proving Grounds in Milford, MI is rarely dull, and after spending this morning driving preproduction versions of the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon all we can say is... under strict embargo. Sorry, America, we were as excited as many of you are to learn more about GM's new midsize truck range and take note of how they go down the road, but it's going to be September before we're allowed to share that with all of you. Here's to sweet suspense.
While we might not be able to talk about refinement or handling yet, we did find some of the product positioning and marketing statements from GMC and Chevy officials on hand at the program to be pretty interesting.
Of course, we all know that the literal competitive set for Canyon and Colorado is comprised of two comparatively ancient Japanese midsize trucks: the Toyota Tacoma (which currently owns this segment) and the Nissan Frontier. The Frontier's bones are as old as the 2005 model year, with 2009 marking the last time the truck was updated. The Taco was also launched in 2005, though it did see a freshening for 2012. The point remains that, in every facet from powertrain to dash plastics, the GM midsize truck twins are going to look positively space age by comparison when they hit the market for MY 2015.
