Original 1 ton GMC Sierra pickup truck. I have owned this truck for 20 years. I bought the truck in 1994 off of a dealer in Fox Lake Illinois. The truck had around 80,000 miles on it when I bought it. I mainly drove this truck when I was in High School. At the time I was not looking for a truck with a lift, but it was already on it when I bought it. The truck has a 4 inch lift so it is not excessive and looks good. I have always kept this truck shedded since I have owned it. It currently sits in the pole barn covered up. The mice have not been in it. I start it up about once every three months to keep mechanical parts working, motor lubed ect. I am selling the truck because I need to reduce my fleet of vehicles. I also do not want to keep paying insurance on it since I do not drive it. I have spent a lot of money on this truck over the years, way more than what it is worth to keep it original. I have replaced the radiator. Right after I bought it from the dealer it had a small leak so I changed the whole radiator. The doors, bed sides, tail gait are new. The lights on the tailgate are original with the 1 ton package at the time. It has been painted back to original midnight Black, factory color. The body man put extra clear coat on for extreme protection . Several years back the dash started cracking so I replaced it with a new one. The headliner has been replaced and is still good shape, this was a common problems with these older trucks. The seat is in good shape, I always had a seat cover on it to keep it nice. I fixed the steering column because it got loose along with the ignition switch. It has tilt wheel. The windshield wiper control lever is new. All the gauges work. The transfer case was rebuilt by a local 4x4 shop. When they rebuilt this they went ahead and put in a new clutch, throw out bearing, new u joints, seals, ect . The brakes are like new. The tires have less than 5000 miles on them, so they are in good shape. It has a 4 speed transmission with 4:10 gear ratio Dana 70 rear end. The power windows work. The engine runs good, no major leaks. The engine has been completely rebuilt over the years. The block was shipped off to St. Louis to be fixed back in 1995. I had the heads magnafluxed, welded and resurfaced by Mac Weld in Carbondale IL. It has hydraulic lifters on the heads. Everything was always put back original down to the wiring, no half jobs. I put new head bolts on the heads when they were installed back. The glow plugs work good, they have been changed over the years. When I had the body work done, I changed one fuel tank out, so one is newer than the other. No leaks on the tanks. The motor has its usual blow by. The motor is around 370 Cubic inch displacement detroit engine, not the converted 5.9. The batteries are in good shape. It has two batteries purchased september 2011. I never smoked in this truck. I never mudded this truck. I did my best to keep the truck original. Some extras I added to it over the years was a bug shield, full set of running boards, visor and bed caps. Sliding window was factory original. I like the looks of the old GM trucks and really would miss the truck. Any other questions you can call me at 618-771-2363. |

2022 GMC Acadia gets small changes, price hike
Tue, Jul 20 2021GMC put conspicuous effort into the 2020 Acadia, adding a few more embellishments this year. For 2022 the Acadia gets another nuanced rework, the most important change being the elimination of both the base SL trim and the 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. The Acadia SLE, the next trim level up from the SL, this year offers the 2.5-liter four-cylinder and 3.0-liter V6 in front-wheel-drive guise. Next year, the only engine available for the front-driver SLE will be the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder. The spec rearrangement jacks up the Acadia's barrier to entry to $35,995 for the new base model, a $5,000 increase over 2021. There's some give-and-take in the details to even out the exchange. Buyers this year needed to step up to the SLE in all-wheel-drive trim to get access to the 2.0-liter, which started at $38,295, and keeps that price for next year. But SLE pricing only goes up by $900 to swap the 2.0-liter for the 2.5-liter, not much money for a lot more power. The 2.5-liter produces 193 horsepower and 188 pound-feet of torque, the 2.0-liter makes 230 hp and 258 lb-ft. One more cut sees the Acadia AT4 with the five-passenger cabin struck from the menu, six- and seven-passenger seating the only choices. And one more swap sees the $495 Red Mahogany Metallic premium exterior paint replaced by the $495 Light Stone Metallic. Upgrades include new 18- and 20-inch wheel designs, and all 2022 Acadias get the Pro Safety Plus package standard. That installs driver assistance features such as Automatic Emergency Braking, IntelliBeam headlights, Front and Rear Park Assist, Forward Collision Alert, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert. And Traction Select, GMC's name for road surface and terrain modes, is also standard across the lineup. The 2022 Acadia entered production at GM's Spring Hill, Tennessee plant at the end of last month, the configurator is live now. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Despite strong profits, GM still fighting flat market share
Fri, Jan 17 2014Looking at the progress General Motors has made since it entered bankruptcy, it's easy to forget that the company still has a long way to go before it's the juggernaut it once was. A recent report from Reuters points out that, while GM is making money, it isn't making any gains in terms of US market share. Quite the opposite, really. Consider this factoid: In 1963, nearly half of the cars sold in the United States were from Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick, GMC or Pontiac. Now, the company's US market share is stagnant at 17.9 percent. That same number is half of just Chevy's 1963 market share. This is all despite GM going on a binge replacing or updating its models. "Market share increases are not instantaneous," Mark Reuss told Reuters at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. "We've got a lot of baggage. Don't underestimate what people though of us, or these brands, through these hardships and 30 years." The reasons for the stagnant market share are numerous. Reuters points out that retooling of factories and a focus on limiting incentives are both good things for profit, but not necessarily for market share. There's also the troubling turnover of the brand's marketing department. These issues don't change the fact that Chevrolet has lost 1.4 percent of its market share in two years, and that Cadillac - arguably GM's most improved brand overall - has lost 1.2 percent in the same period. Part of that can be blamed on GM's avoidance of fleet sales in favor of more profitable customer sales. "Our focus has really been on retail and that's where we've got the growth," said Alan Batey, GM's interim global marketing boss. "We want to grow GM and that means growing market share and profits, but it's not at all costs," Reuss said.

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.
