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.
- 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
- 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.

GMC boss wants a Jeep Wrangler rival
Wed, 12 Nov 2014Challengers come and challengers go, but the Jeep Wrangler continues to push forward even after vehicles like the Toyota FJ Cruiser and the entire Hummer brand have been shut down. Now GMC reportedly wants to take a stab at the quintessential Jeep, as well.
The news comes directly from Buick-GMC vice president Duncan Aldred, speaking with our compatriots over at Edmunds. Although Aldred said there are no plans currently on the table to expand GMC's lineup beyond the current range, "there is plenty of room everywhere in the hierarchy."
That could include a rival to the Wrangler, as well as a flagship luxury SUV positioned above the current Yukon Denali (pictured above). Just when (or for that matter, if) such models might come into fruition remains a big question mark, but it's certainly interesting to see what GM's dedicated truck brand has on the drawing board.
GMC Canyon will debut in Detroit
Fri, 20 Dec 2013With the debut of the Chevrolet Colorado at November's Los Angeles Auto Show, perhaps it was only a matter of time before we saw the small truck's GMC counterpart. That time will be January, as we've received official confirmation that the GMC Canyon will be revived at next month's North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
The news came in the latest issue of the Detroit Auto Show's newsletter, NAIAS Connect. The article hasn't been posted online quite yet, but it details the Canyon as one of the world production debuts slated for the show.
While we've heard rumors that the Canyon would arrive in Detroit, this is our first concrete bit of evidence. As we've detailed before, we expect the Canyon to be stylistically quite different than the Colorado, though the underpinnings will be shared. The teaser image we have above is currently our only look at the new truck. We'll hopefully have more details in the next few weeks as the GMC Canyon draws closer to its official debut.
GM recalling 117,000 sedans, crossovers, SUVs, pickups and vans
Thu, 02 Oct 2014General Motors has issued a stop-sale to dealers and has notified the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration of its intention to recall 117,000 vehicles in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Of those vehicles, only 4,500 are at dealerships.
The affected vehicles include the Cadillac CTS and Chevrolet Impala sedans, fullsize SUVs (Cadillac Escalade, Chevy Tahoe and Suburban and GMC Yukon and Yukon XL), Lambda-platform crossovers (Chevy Traverse, Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia), heavy-duty pickups (Chevy Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD) and fullsize vans (Chevy Express and GMC Savana). The sedans and body-on-frame SUVs include model years 2013 and 2014, while the CUVs, heavy-duty pickups and vans are limited to MY2014.
GM confirmed the recall to Autoblog via an emailed statement (which we've included below). According to the statement, the issue at hand in what is the company's 69th recall of 2014 covers the chassis-control module. Automotive News is reporting that a problem in the chassis-control system could cause a short in the module, which could cause the engine to stall or fail to start. The fault could also affect the trailer-brake control, provided it's equipped.
