1990 GMC Diesel 6.2 Diesel Suburban

In overall good shape. This truck spent most of its life on a ranch in South Texas. I purchased it about a year ago with the intention of making it a cross country family traveling vehicle. ( I grew up with a truck just like this ) Well I have put a whole lot of time and effort in it getting to were it is now. I have since gotten a new job and have been given a new company truck, the suburban has just been sitting. I used it twice in the last six months. Once to move, and once to haul a load of furniture a couple hours away. The truck runs well!  

This truck starts every time and does not smoke or burn oil. It cranks rights up even after sitting for a month.

1990 and 1991 Diesel suburban's came with over drive transmissions and the new style heads. This truck is not slow, it holds it own getting on the freeway and passing. Its not gonna win a drag race, but it has plenty of power to accelerate. This truck will run all day long at 75 or 80 miles per hour and not miss a beat. 90 and 91, 6.2 diesels have the good hi flow heads. The last picture was taken while driving 75mph....smooth

Power windows are slow to go up and down, the power locks work, but need to pushed several times to get them all the way up. The rear door sometimes need to be manually unlocked by reaching in. This truck  looks really good in the pictures , but is just average in person. I love it, but my wife not so much. Just please be aware its gonna need some cosmetic with the dash and paint to make a really nice truck. The truck also has the third row seat not pictured. The carpet is all in good shape. the headliner is nice, but starting to sag a tinny bit in the very back of the truck.

Millage: I AM NOT SURE OF AUCTUALY MILAGE. speedometer works fine but the miles don't click off. its been this way since I got it.  I have put maybe 2000 miles on it in a year. I took on 5 or 6 trips, 2 to 5 hours away. no problems.

New Stuff:

Engine: pulled from truck and all the freeze plugs replaced, new water pump, valve cover and intake gaskets, glow plugs and starter.

Transmission: overhauled with new converter (six month warranty, expired) 

Radiator, thermostat upper and lower hoses  (coolant light on because coolant sensor did not fit new radiator, needs brass adapter)

Windshield- new 

Batteries - 2 new, 9 months old.

Tires- 4 brand new (less than 1000 miles)


Needs:

Brakes-the brakes are weak, but very drivable. I have to add brake fluid after it sits.

Shocks- The truck drives like a big boat and could use a set of shocks.

A/C - looses charge after about a week, rear blower motor out.

Dash is cracked, the tint has gone a little blurry

Windows-crack in the long side rear passenger and rear window.

Paint- faded with  scratches.

The headlights point down and need to be adjusted and the drivers door is out of alignment (this how I got the truck not sure why its like this)

No spare tire.

Overall this truck is good condition, ready to drive home. It needs some cosmetics to make it a great truck.

2015 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon order guides reveal added power

Tue, 17 Jun 2014

General Motors' Fleet Order Guide system is often the canary in the coal mine for interesting changes on new models. The recent guide for the 2015 Corvette unveiled all sorts of changes that weren't yet known about the sports car. Now, it's time for the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon to take their bow in the spotlight, and they look worth the wait. The new midsize trucks are getting a touch more power than first thought, as well as some very nice features.
Extended Cab models of both trucks come standard with a 2.5-liter, direct-injected four-cylinder rated at 200 horsepower at 6,300 rpm and 191 pound-feet of torque at 4,400 rpm. That's a bit more than the 193 hp and 184 lb-ft originally reported for the duo. The standard transmission for the extended trucks is a six-speed manual, but the Work Truck trim is also available with an optional six-speed automatic. Towing for the four-cylinder is rated at 3,500 pounds.
Crew Cab models come standard with a 3.6-liter V6 with 305 hp at 6,800 rpm and 269 lb-ft of torque at 4,300 rpm, with a six-speed automatic. That's also somewhat different than the originally reported rating of 302 hp and 270 lb-ft. Towing for the V6 is rated at 7,000 pounds.

2014 GMC Sierra 4.3L V6 to offer segment-best 305 LB-FT

Mon, 06 May 2013

General Motors has released more information on the 4.3-liter V6 available in the 2014 GMC Sierra. The engine will serve up 285 horsepower and 305 pound-feet of torque, with a six-speed automatic transmission, and giving the V6 Sierra a maximum tow rating of 7,200 pounds in regular cab, short bed four-wheel drive configuration. GM claims that figure is 500 pounds more than the equivalent Ford F-150 equipped with a 3.7-liter V6, and 700 pounds more than the Ram 1500 with its 3.6-liter V6. Buyers can expect to see the 2014 GMC Sierra with the 4.3-liter engine start at $25,085 including destination.
While the engine does deliver more torque than either of its main competitors, it falls short on the horsepower front. The 3.7-liter V6 in the F-150 develops 302 hp while the 3.6-liter V6 in the Ram 1500 yields 305 hp. GM says fuel economy estimates for its newest entry will land later this year. Check out the full press release below for more information.

2014 Chevy Silverado priced from *$24,585, V8 gets better economy than Ford EcoBoost V6

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

Chevrolet has thrown down the next hand in the pickup truck poker wars and revealed at least a couple of potential aces - depending on which numbers matter most to you. The 2014 2014 Silverado 1500 with its 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 gets 335 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, is mated to a six-speed automatic, can tow 11,500 pounds with the optional Max Trailer Package and costs the same as the outgoing Silverado, $24,585 (*including $995 destination fee). Chevy says the Silverado also stands atop the fuel economy charts when comparing any competitor with a V8 engine - and some competitors with V6 engines. The two-wheel drive model returns 16 miles per gallon city, 23 mpg highway, 19 mpg combined in two-wheel drive guise and 16 mpg city, 22 mpg highway and 18 mpg combined as a four-wheel drive.
For context around those numbers, the most fuel efficient V8-powered 2013 Ford F-150 pickups lose about two mpg in every metric compared to the Silverado, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost returning 16 city, 18 highway and 22 combined in two-wheel drive. However, that EcoBoost does have 365 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. You can get a Ram 1500 with a 3.6-liter V6 that gets 25 mpg highway, but it has 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. The 2013 Ram with the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and its 395 hp and 407 lb-ft drops one mpg in every category to the Silverado. Its tow rating is 200 pounds beyond its nearest competitor, the F-150 with the Max Trailer Tow Package.
Elsewhere, the new Silverado gets a quieter cab with a redesigned interior, a new bed with improved load-management possibilities, disc brakes all around, tweaked steering and suspension, along with free standard scheduled maintenance for two years or 24,000 miles.
