Gmc Sierra C1500 Silverado Sport Truck Lowered New Motor Harley Trades Welcome on 2040-cars
United States
This is my personal 1994 GMC Step Side. I purchased the truck in Tennessee from the previous owner who got it from his best friend in 2005. Truck is one of the nicest and cleanest that I have ever seen. Runs and drives flawlessly. It is hard to believe how well this truck drives. I have built several of these trucks and tried to buy this one for over 6 months before I was able to convince the previous owner to let go of it. You can tell from some of the photos how clean the underside and engine area of this truck is. I did not spray bomb it, the truck is really this clean.
The crate motor was purchased from Bill Heard Chevrolet in Huntsville Alabama in January of 2006. Was installed by Corvettes Plus in Whitesburg Tennessee when the truck had approximately 119500 miles. I do have receipts and documentation of this. Previous customer drove it for close to 17,000 miles before he sold it to me. I put around 1500 on it before I decided to upgrade the truck. Vehicle has 138,000 miles showing on the odometer. This is correct. I decided to increase some of the performance, but not change the reliability of the vehicle. I researched Harris Performance (you can go to tbichips dot com to find out more info) and really liked what he had to say about building TBI motors. I used his cam, intake, & chip ideas for this build. Installed Edelbrock TBI Intake manifold. Updated Throttle Body. Comp Cams 249 H cam designed for TBI motors. New valve springs. Chrome Headers. New free flowing Y Pipe Exhaust into a Flowmaster muffler with custom drops at the back corners of the bed. Truck has a great sound. Not loud just very deep. No exhaust drone sound at any RPM. Very nice to cruise in. I wanted a little more get up and go so I installed a 4:10 Auburn Posi rear end with upgraded brake drums. I hate a vehicle that only turns one rear wheel. The truck has great cruising ability because of the 700 r4 Overdrive Tranny. If you want to get nasty with it you can. Great runner with good fuel economy. When I did the upgrades I went ahead and put in a new radiator, high flow fuel pump, power steering pump, and anything that could be updated. Front and rear brakes are new and operate great. American Racing 18" wheels in the front and 20" in the rear. Tires have decent tread. Rears are getting a little thin, but not dangerous. Body of the truck is great. There is a small dent in the top of the passenger side bed rail. Looks like an elbow mark. I have a photo of it showing the small imperfection. Very hard to see unless you are looking for it. The bed of the truck is in excellent shape. There are a few rock chips on the front. Overall, the paint is in great shape. Not an all out show truck, but very close. Doors do not sag, bushings have been upgraded so doors close like new. Interior is stock and in great shape. No rips or tears in seat. Carpet has a couple of stains, but very good condition. The fuse door cover is broken. I have it but the tab has broken off like most of these do. I am a Harley Davidson dealer. I would have interest in Harley or other brand motorcycle trades. Please contact me to discuss values. I recently purchased a Jeep SRT8 so I need to make some space in the garage. This GMC truck is a knock out. Gets looks everywhere I go. Hate to get rid of it, but I only have so much space. Please contact me if you have any questions or need anything else. |

2023 J.D. Power APEAL Study shows new-car customer satisfaction scores slip
Thu, Jul 20 2023J.D. Power survey results have been slightly up but mostly down for automakers this year, literally. In February, the 2023 Vehicle Dependability Study showed an overall decline compared the 2022 a month before the Customer Service Index Study did the same. The trend reversed in June with a better overall score on the 2023 U.S. Electric Vehicle Consideration Study than in 2022, then declined again the same month on with a lower overall score on the 2023 Initial Quality Study. The declines continue with the 2023 J.D. Power U.S. Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) Study, overall satisfaction among the 84,555 respondents down two points overall compared to 2022, to 845 out of 1,000 points. Because last year's score dropped compared to 2021, this year marks the first consecutive decline in the study's 28-year history. The study tries to "[measure] owners' emotional attachment and level of excitement with new vehicle" after 90 days of ownership by asking new owners to rate 37 attributes in 10 areas around the vehicle, such as the feeling they get when they hit the accelerator. Satisfaction with nine of the attributes is down this year versus last, fuel economy the only segment to show better results with 15 points more satisfaction. Styling and infotainment are big drags on satisfaction. Responses to new car exterior looks tallied 888 points, down from 894 last year, the largest drop in this year's study. On the digital side, less than half of those surveyed this year said they prefer using a manufacturer's built-in infotainment. From 70% of respondents in 2020 preferring to use a manufacturer's in-house software to play audio instead of Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, that's 56% in 2023. Going all-in on Google appears to have the best effect. J.D. Power said that vehicles with both Google's Android Automotive Operating System (AAOS) and Google Automotive Services (GAS) "score higher in the infotainment category than those with no AAOS whatsoever. AAOS without GAS receives the lowest scores for infotainment of the three categories."Â Frank Hanley, senior director of auto benchmarking at J.D. Power, said, "Despite the technology and design innovations that manufacturers put into new vehicles, owners are lukewarm about them. While innovations like charging pads, vehicle apps and advanced audio features should enhance an owner’s experience, this is not the case when problems are experienced.
GM appears to repurpose Saturn Outlook parts on new Acadia
Thu, 09 Feb 2012General Motors unveiled the company's refreshed GMC Acadia at the 2012 Chicago Auto Show yesterday, and if you were paying attention, you may have noticed something curious about the vehicle. While the new Acadia looks considerably better than its predecessor, a few components of the design looked more than a little familiar. Upon closer observation, it appears that GM has simply repurposed elements of the now defunct Saturn Outlook crossover on the 2013 Acadia. Both vehicles seem to share the same wrap-around rear glass, back hatch, tail light openings and exaggerated, squared-off fender arches.
While the vehicles are differentiated by badging, tail lamps and a rear valance, there's no denying the similarities toward the vehicle's rear. Up front, both share similar fenders, though adjustments have been made for the varying headlight designs.
That's good news if you just can't imagine life without the Saturn Outlook.
GM recalling 22K Silverado and Sierra trucks for seat issue
Wed, 09 Oct 2013General Motors will recall 21,721 of its new 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups over front seats that could move if the vehicle is hit from behind. Affected vehicles all feature manual adjustments for the two front seats, according to a report from Automotive News.
Of the nearly 22,000 vehicles covered under the action, the overwhelming majority - 18,972 -- were sold in the United States. A further 2,575 were sold in Canada, while 103 were shipped south of the border to Mexico. Finally, another 71 were sold outside North America altogether. As of right now, there are no reports of injuries due to the defect.
Naturally, Chevy and GMC dealers will make the repairs free of charge, although it's not clear as of this writing if GM will be notifying owners or just addressing the issue at the truck's first service.
