You are bidding on Gmc Typhoon #1336. Truck has 159,xxx thousand miles and shows well for the mileage. It is bone stock besides the aftermarket intake filter and muffler. Truck runs strong and tranny shifts great. Interior is in very good condition as can be seen in pictures. With 159k the truck runs strong with minimal blow-by out of valve cover breather(watch video). The main issue with this truck is rust, It will need new front fenders and quarters to be considered "clean". The cladding on these vehicles along with northeastern winters is usually the culprit. However I have driven the truck as is and get compliments all the time. I have datalogged the truck and it reaches stock boost with no knock and runs strong all the way through the poweband. Truck is a nice driver which is what I have used it for. As with most of the 4.3 powered trucks on start-up You will get an occasional puff of smoke due the valve seals that these trucks came with. If You have owned one You know what Im talking about. You can hop in this truck and drive it anywhere. I tried my best to take pictures of all cosmetic issues. The frame and floor are good. The fender and quarter panel rust can be seen in pictures as can the repaired cladding on passenger side. There is also a crack in the cladding on the rear right corner that can be seen in pictures. As stated the truck is all there and is a nice driver.
Recent upgrades:
Autometer boost gauge
AEM wideband gauge
Autometer oil pressure gauge
Billet engine brace
Shur Flo intercooler pump
Heater core
Front calipers, pads, rotors
Both window motors
Front tires are less than a year old
This truck is strong driver and could even be a show piece with some body work and paint. SOLD AS IS. HAPPY BIDDING. NO RESERVE.

GM SUV window switch recall urges owners to park vehicles outside
Thu, 07 Aug 2014It's not unusual for there to be a lag between an automaker announcing a recall and the official documentation showing up on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website. So it's no surprise that a recent GM campaign took about a month to appear in its official capacity. However, there appears to be some big differences between the two reports with potential safety implications.
In late June, GM announced that it needed to recall 181,984 examples of the Chevrolet Trailblazer, Buick Rainier, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7x from the 2005-2007 model years, plus the 2006 Chevy Trailblazer EXT and 2006 GMC Envoy XL. The new documents paint a slightly different picture with 184,611 needing repaired and different model years listed.
The reason for the fix is still the same, though. It's possible for fluid to contact the master power window switch module in the driver's door, which can corrode the part. Eventually this could cause a short circuit, leaving the buttons inoperable and potentially leading to a fire. But the new NHTSA documents add an important note: "A fire could occur even while the vehicle is not in use. As a precaution, owners are advised to park outside until the remedy has been made."
New J.D. Power Initial Quality Study puts Porsche, GM in spotlight
Wed, 19 Jun 2013J.D. Power and Associates has released its annual Initial Quality Study, and this year, Porsche and General Motors took the spotlight. The study, which asks new car owners to report problems experienced during the first 90 days of ownership, found that overall, the industry averages 113 problems per 100 vehicles.
Porsche managed a score of just 80 problems per 100 vehicles, while GMC took the second spot on the podium with 90. Lexus filled out the top three with 94 problems per 100 vehicles, followed by Infiniti at 95 and Chevrolet at 97. The study also looks at specific models, and found the Lexus LS to enjoy the best initial quality at 59 problems per 100 vehicles.
Interestingly enough, the report found that around two-thirds of most owner problems experienced in the first 90 days are attributable to vehicle design instead of mechanical failure. Specifically - echoing a refrain we've been hearing for the last few years - owners are having a hard time figuring out how to use the technology present in their new vehicles. Head over to the J.D. Power site for more information, or scroll down below for the company's related press release.
2015 GMC Yukon and Yukon XL hit the floor at LA
Thu, 21 Nov 2013The middle child of General Motors' trio of truck-based SUVs, the GMC Yukon and long-wheelbase Yukon XL, received their auto show debut at today's 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show. Showing off a bigger, bolder look, particularly on its Denali trim, the Yukon sports prominent chrome grille instantly identifies GMC's new top-end SUV.
The Yukon is will come to market with a pair of engines. The base 5.3-liter V8 pumps out 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, while the higher-end models benefit from the same direct-injected, 6.2-liter V8 as the Escalade. That engine makes 420 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, with fuel economy seeing a likely boost thanks to an active fuel management system. Like the Tahoe, Suburban and Escalade, the Yukon takes advantage of a six-speed, column-mounted automatic transmission.
The cabin has seen significant upgrades in terms of materials and technology, with an eight-inch touchscreen display and IntelliLink standard in both Yukon and Yukon Denali. Fold-flat second and third-row seats come standard, while a power option is available, as well. Other techy features include active noise cancellation and standard Bose stereos.
