1991 Gmc Syclone, 86k Miles, Brand New Drivetrain - Ready To Go! on 2040-cars
|
For sale is my 1991 GMC Syclone. This is a rare, AWD factory turbocharged version of the S10 pickup truck that was made in limited quantities in 1991. The truck itself is very clean with 86K original miles - all OEM body panels and cladding - never wrecked with a clean original interior. Syclones came with a black paint scheme - this truck has been repainted a very cool deep red color to stand out from the pack and match a famous Syclone die cast toy car by Johnny Lightning. At 86K miles, the truck itself was in good shape, but certain parts were showing signs of getting tired, so the entire drivetrain has just been replaced and improved by a local shop (GN Northwest) that specializes in GMC Syclones and knows them as well as anyone. The engine was completely rebuilt to OEM specs, the transmission was rebuilt and hardened to racing specs, and the AWD drivetrain was freshened with new components. For all intents and purposes, the drivetrain of this truck is brand new and better than it rolled out of the factory. It runs and drives perfectly. The truck has been extensively modified: the fuel system, turbocharger, intercooler, torque converter, transmission, intake, and exhaust have all been updated to street/strip racing specs. It is shod on all 4 corners with sticky race compound tires, has a full spread of aftermarket gauges, and can be shockingly quick. It will outrun almost any other car on the street at any price range in a stoplight race. This truck would make an awesome street or track toy. I'm selling it because it sits around as a showpiece and never gets driven. That's not why I bought it - I bought it and restored it because I love these trucks and wanted to put another cool Syclone back in circulation. I want to sell it to someone who will drive it.

2014 Chevy Silverado details continue to dribble out
Wed, 03 Apr 2013PickupTrucks.com has gotten its hands on a few more details concerning the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and the 2014 GMC Sierra. General Motors held a conference call on the two trucks, allowing Jeff Luke, executive chief engineer for both, to answer a few questions. Luke said truck buyers are largely concerned with power and fuel economy, and as such, GM will continue to explore new methods of providing both. That may translate into any number of drivetrain permutations, including light-duty diesel engines, eight-speed transmissions or even a twin-turbocharged V6.
What's more, both the 2014 Silverado and its GMC twin will boast a tow rating of 11,500 pounds, but only when equipped with a max-trailering package. Without that special package, the rating drops to 10,200 lbs for regular cabs and 9,700 lbs for crew cabs. Buyers will no longer be able to opt for a 4.10 gear ratio.
We're also excited to hear that GM plans on making the Z71 package into something more than just a few a stickers. While Luke didn't go into details, PickupTrucks.com says "it will get significant improvements in the future." Head over to the site for a quick rundown of the call's highlights.
GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles
Fri, 04 Jan 2013As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.
