I have here a very nice GMC Typhoon from 1992. This is a dream car for me and I got it because I had the time and money for a project car. Due to life, I am short on time now. I hate to see it go, but a truck like this needs an owner that can give it the time it needs. Maybe down the road I'll get another one, but that's my problem for later. So my sacrifice is your gain.


So lets do the good vs bad. Since you probably already know what this thing is, you'll probably want to know the worst and why am I only letting it go for so little. Dont worry, its not that bad. Just a lot of cosmetic stuff which I don't have the room or time to tackle.



<-------- BAD -------->
  • Rust. There's a good bit of underbody rust on this thing. I think one of the previous owners parked it on tall grass and left it for a while.
  • Drivers fender needs to be replaced. Of all the rust, the drivers side front fender is the worst. I've removed the cladding due to it. I didn't want the cladding to fall off while going down the road. I'll make sure the cladding is in the truck when its sold.
  • There's some other rust spots that will need more than just a cover up at some point.
  • Rear passenger side cladding has a chip in it
  • passenger side cladding under the door will probably need to be replaced or taken to a shop to have it fixed. got a hole in it.
  • AC has a small leak in the hose, everything else works fine.
  • Air compressor for the rear suspension is currently not working. Seems to be an electrical issue, haven't tracked it down yet. But everything is there.
  • Oil gauge on the dash has spun around and is now stuck. Installed an aux oil pressure gauge in the a-pillar.
  • It has keyless entry, and I have the box, but atm it doesn't seem to work. I think the remote just needs batteries.
  • There's a vacuum leak somewhere. I've replaced several of the lines but haven't gotten to all of them yet. Its not that bad because the cruise control still works. the vent controls work. etc. But there is a leak according to my vacuum gauge. :P

<-------- GOOD -------->
  • Pulls damn hard. will chirp all 4 tires off the line. Will give you tunnel vision if its grips just right
  • Runs like a champ. Will hold any speed and at the drop of a dime can take off.
  • Tires in excellent shape. Rears only have a few thousand miles on them.
  • Spare has never been on the ground.
  • Has all original wheels. No chips. No scratches. Still shines.
  • Front and rear limited slips are in excellent shape (this thing will not let go of the road)
  • New shocks all around
  • New brakes
  • Upgraded some of the vacuum lines to steal braided.
  • No oil leaks. No leaks at all.
  • installed a transmission aux cooler coupled to the existing cooler with all new high flow braided lines. Thanks to RPM for that.
  • Shifts firm and will hold.
  • All of the cladding is there.
  • AC works if the leak is fixed. I replaced the compressor with a new one and recharged it with r134. It worked for about 2 weeks. Seems there is a small leak where the hose and the condenser meet. Might just need an O ring.
  • Cruise control works perfectly.
  • All the lights work.
  • Fog lights are bright as hell
  • Upgraded halogen head lights. (still sealed headlights, just got those super bright ones)
  • Vent controls work (aka that switch set that controls where the air goes which was a $350 part)
  • a pillar pod cluster with oil pressure, boost gauge, and AFR gauge.
  • new fuel pump
  • Interior looks brand new. All of the leather shines in the sun.
  • Center console hinge still works (anyone that knows these things knows this alone is more rare than the truck itself)
  • Upgraded JVC radio. Its a DVD unit that does everything. MP3 DVD's, movies, FM/AM radio, and I've installed an AUX cable. Its also SAT ready, just needs the antenna which can easily be found. And I've got the remote control for the unit as well.
  • Paints in good shape except for the few rust spots mentioned above.

I've also got a Typhoon CD that has all the manuals, books, etc on it that'll go with the truck.

I also have a data link cable for hooking it up to a computer that I'll throw in for an extra $25.



This is a project truck, I'm selling it as it and with the buyer understanding that it a project truck. When I got it barely anything worked and it died on me 3 times before I got it home. I've put some time into this thing and thought I'd be keeping it forever. But plans change. I've gotten almost all the small stuff fixed that was working and a few major issues, and was starting to work on the body when other things in my life got in the way. It still needs some TLC. The biggest issue with this truck is the body. It needs a few panels replaced and you might as well get the whole thing repainted again so it all matches up.


Oh and the phone mount in the pictures of the dash will not go with the vehicle. I'm keeping that. It's just a suction mount, don't worry it didn't leave any marks.


I'll help however I can with shipping. As in I can drive it to meet a tow truck or if you are close by we can work out me getting it to you. But you pay shipping/gas. Or come get it and drive it home. I'll pick you up at the air port/train station/bus station.


If you want any additional pictures or have any questions feel free to ask and I'll get back to you. If I think of anything else I'll add it in as well.

GM renders new Chevy Colorado, GMC Canyon pickups

Thu, 08 Aug 2013

At a series of industry seminars in Traverse City, MI today, General Motors executive vice president Dan Ammann gifted us with our first glimpse of the upcoming midsize pickup range from Chevrolet and GMC.
Just two slivers of nose are all we can see of the soon-to-be announced Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon, though the teaser image does make plain that the pair will follow the styling cues (at least up front) found on big brothers Silverado and Sierra.
GM hasn't given us much in the way of detail in its ultra-brief press release that accompanied the teaser image, which is to be expected. We're told only that the pair of trucks are designed to be "capable, versatile and fuel-efficient alternatives to full-size pickups" and that production will start sometime in 2014, at the Wentzville, MO assembly center.

Best 3rd row SUVs of 2022

Wed, Oct 19 2022

If you plan on using a vehicle's third row a lot, let us at least make the suggestion that a minivan would be a smarter bet than anything you're going to see on this list of best three-row SUVs. Their third rows are bigger, more comfortable and easier to get to. The kids will definitely be happier. Here are our two top choices.  OK, now that that's out of the way, we totally get why minivans are totally depressing and that if the kids want to be happier, they can buy their own darn vehicle. You're buying, you're driving, you're being seen in it and you'd rather have a three-row SUV. Fair enough. Luckily, there are more choices than ever and they're really good. The best do a particularly good job of being family friendly without looking like a drab transportation appliance, although really, you can't go wrong with any of the mainstream three-row SUVs. Now, some of the luxury choices are a bit suspect, including those that are otherwise very appealing but have cramped third-row seats (the Genesis GV80 comes to mind). We're focusing on three-row SUVs here, so having a usable third row is a must.   In this list, we have broken things down into four sub-categories: Best Three-Row Crossover |  Best Full-size Three-Row SUV Best Luxury Three-Row SUV |  Best Flagship Luxury Three-Row SUV Note that we define crossovers as SUVs since most buyers use the terms interchangeably, but acknowledge that "crossover" is literally a vehicle with a car-like unibody structure as opposed to the truck-like, body-on-frame construction that traditionally has defined "SUV." In other words, we consider all crossovers SUVs, but not all SUVs are crossovers (specifically those in the full-size segment and some in the flagship luxury segment). Best Three-Row Crossover SUVs of 2024 2024 Honda Pilot Why it stands out: Exceptional storage and cargo space; unique second-row functionality; refined ride; versatile and capable TrailSport; advanced AWDCould be better: Subpar acceleration with lackadaisical transmission and engine response; so-so driver assistance tech Read our full 2024 Honda Pilot Review The Honda Pilot was completely redesigned for 2023. It maintains its predecessor's family friendly packaging and overall focus, but it has injected a welcome sense of style (especially in the TrailSport pictured above) that makes it stand out much better from the big crossover crowd.

2017 GMC Canyon Denali brings the bling

Wed, Nov 18 2015

Denali is an incredibly important part of GMC's product strategy. It takes very little effort to create a Denali variant, and these models retail for big premiums over the models on which they're based. So if you're GMC, it makes sense that you'd want to create a Denali version of every product in your range. That in mind, enter the 2017 Canyon Denali. GMC's midsize pickup gets all of the usual Denali trimmings, including a new grille, chrome trim, 20-inch wheels, and the necessary badging. Inside, there's a unique instrument panel, Jet Black leather, heated and cooled seats, and again, Denali badges abound. GMC says the Canyon Denali will be offered exclusively in the crew cab body style, with either the 3.6-liter gasoline V6 or 2.8-liter diesel engine. Have a look at the fancy truck in our gallery above, and scroll down for GM's official press blast. GMC Introduces 2017 Canyon Denali Exclusive design cues, content elevate industry's first premium midsize truck DETROIT, Tuesday, Nov. 17, 2015 – Denali is the ultimate expression of GMC's professional grade style, luxury and capability – and it is coming to the Canyon midsize truck. The 2017 Canyon Denali is being introduced today, ahead of its public debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show. It goes on sale in late 2016. "Canyon is the segment's first and only premium midsize truck, offering unparalleled capability and efficiency matched with maneuverability and refinement," said Duncan Aldred, vice president of GMC Sales and Marketing. "The all-new Canyon Denali builds on that award-winning combination with the distinctive styling, luxurious interior and elevated content that has defined the Denali nameplate since its introduction nearly 17 years ago." Like all Denali models, the new Canyon Denali is distinguished with a unique chrome grille and unique wheels – 20-inch ultra-bright-machined aluminum wheels with painted accents. Exterior cues include chrome fog lamp bezels, five-inch-diameter rectangular chrome assist steps, a polished exhaust tip and a standard spray-in bed liner. The Canyon Denali will be offered in six exterior colors. Inside, a Jet Black interior features Mulan leather-appointed seats with perforated, heated-and-ventilated front seats – exclusive content in the Canyon lineup – along with unique instrument panel and console trim; and Denali-logo sill plates and floor mats. Standard technologies include Forward Collision Alert and Lane Departure Warning.
