This 1993 GMC truck is a clean, original style vehicle that has always been in North Carolina. So if you are looking for a nice truck that is not a project, here it is. The mileage is low and it shows inside, outside and under the hood. While the truck is mostly stock, there are two small modifications to note: new paint (original color) and a new transmission.

The engine in this truck is in excellent working order, as is the Auto transmission. I bought the truck in 1995 with 20,000 miles on it. It is practically a 1-owner. The truck is in excellent overall mechanical condition and needs no repairs at this time. Everything is currently functional including the A/C. So for those who will ask, Yes you can drive it home. Again this is not a project like so many others. It has a current North Carolina registration and inspection.

Beyond being a good working vehicle, this truck is also very solid and in the condition you'd hope for. It has not seen any rough conditions, from weather, or abuse. There is no rust any where. Even the cab corners are excellent (pretty rare even for here.) The chassis, suspension, bed, cab etc. are all good. There are no dents to note. However the paint on top of the back finders has a few stars in it. The bed looks great and is coved with Rino liner. Inside you'll find a clean, well appointed interior that is 100% original. The seat upholstery has been covered with a clear plastic seat cover shown in pictures since we bought the truck. All panels are all good with no stains or rips. Unfortunately there is a small crack in the dash. The early 90 model GMCs had the primer backed on wrong from the factory. I had the truck taken down to metal. Came back with new primer and paint, all work was done by certified professionals.

Basically what you have here is just a good older truck with desirable features such as the 454 engine, long bed, and the Sierra trim package. Also we are non-smokers. It sure doesn't hurt that its a good color too. This truck is clean, original and not abused. You might call it a ONE OF A KIND. We would like to sell it to someone who will appreciate the good condition.

If you are a serious buyer, please feel free to contact me with questions about the condition of this vehicle. I also encourage any serious buyers who can to inspect the truck in person as it will sell itself. All I ask is that calls be made before 10:00 PM EST, home (828) 649-37six0, or cell (828) three 19-1018, Stev Roberts

Ward's releases 10 Best Interiors list for 2014

Thu, 10 Apr 2014

While we're still a ways off from the automotive awards season proper, where things like North American Car and Truck of the Year, Motor Trend's Car of the Year and Car and Driver's Ten Best are named, that doesn't mean there aren't trophies being handed out to deserving automakers. Ward's 10 Best Interiors being one of them.
As the name might imply, the magazine focuses on the very best interior treatments in the US market. Whereas some awards purposely exclude extreme, high-dollar offerings, Ward's considers them - the only requirement is that a vehicle has a "new or significantly redesigned interior."
Ward's offered up the list of winners in simple, alphabetical order, and it only seems fair to do the same:

Should heavy-duty pickup trucks have window stickers with fuel mileage estimates?

Sat, Sep 23 2017

If you were to stroll into your nearest Chevrolet, Ford, GMC, Nissan, or Ram dealership, you'd find a bunch of pickup trucks. Most of those would have proper window stickers labeled with things like base prices, options prices, location of manufacture, and, crucially, fuel economy estimates. But you'd also run across a number of heavy-duty trucks with no such fuel mileage data from the Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA doesn't require automakers to publish the valuable miles-per-gallon measurement for vehicles with gross weight ratings that exceed 8,500 pounds. That makes it difficult for consumers to compare behemoths powered by turbocharged diesel engines – between one another, and between smaller, gasoline-fueled trucks. Consumer Reports doesn't think it should be this way, and it's spearheading an effort (PDF link) to get the government to require manufacturers to publish fuel economy estimates. In its own testing, CR found that heavy-duty pickups powered by Ford's Power Stroke, GM's Duramax, and FCA's Cummins diesel engines (which doesn't include the Ram's EcoDiesel) get worse fuel mileage than their lighter-duty gas-powered siblings. We're not so sure HD-truck buyers are unaware of this fact – big diesels don't really come into their own until big loads are placed in their beds or attached to their trailer hitches. Under heavy workloads, the diesel trucks will almost certainly return greater efficiency than a similar gas-powered truck. What's more, HD trucks with lumbering diesels in general make the driver feel more confident while towing due to greater torque at low engine RPM than gas trucks. They also offer greater max-weight limits. Still, we agree EPA fuel mileage estimates should be offered for heavy-duty pickups. And we think the comparisons provided by Consumer Reports might be interesting to potential buyers. Click here to see the results of CR's tests, and let us know what you think using the poll below.

GM opens official investigation into C8 Corvette transmission leaks

Mon, Nov 1 2021

In March 2020, a month after Chevrolet began customer deliveries of the 2020 C8 Corvette, a GM dealer technician created a Reddit thread about a leaking gearbox in a Corvette with 32 miles. That car hadn't even been sold yet. Since then, as a search of "C8 Corvette transmission leak" shows, it's been tales of woe for some owners. Something in the Tremec TR-9080 transaxle in the back of the mid-engined Corvette doesn't work as it should, the fault able to cause codes that the transmission needs service, or that the driver needs to shift to park. In some cases, the battery would die because of follow-on issues after the initial transmission code, that code preventing the car from powering down. As Autoevolution reports, GM filed paperwork with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in August to look into what's going on. Between forum threads and GM's investigation document, there are several issues mentioned. The most common appears to be the dual-clutch transmission leaking fluid due to gasket failures like the one suffered by one owner at 858 miles, and another for an owner currently enduring a second leaking transmission. The Midengined Corvette Forum reported that Chevy engineers redesigned the TR-9080 pan, fitting Corvettes with the new unit at some point in the 2021 model year. The original pan was stamped steel unit affixed to the engine with two studs and 13 bolts, plus "reinforcement plates." The updated pan is said to be a cast aluminum unit affixed with two studs and 17 bolts, omits the reinforcement plates, and gets a new machined new groove around its edge to seat the gasket seal. The GM paperwork now at the NHTSA mentions a P1789 code, and says one reason for it could be "debris on the park position sensor magnet causing an incorrect position reading to the TCM." This might be caused by another issue mentioned in forums, which is clogged transmission filters. GM gives instructions for returning transmission filters to the company, and a poster on one forum said the Corvette tech at the dealer where he bought his Corvette told him the automaker "requires every used transmission filter to be returned to GM."  Whatever's going on, the problems haven't stopped, and they go beyond the P1789 code. Over the weekend, a 2022 Corvette owner posted on Corvette Forums that he got a check engine light on his car after just 850 miles.
