As the title states, 1993 GMC Jimmy with a 2005 5.3L truck motor with twin turbos. Built the truck a couple years ago and had my fun with it, just have some bigger projects going on and need to cash this one out. 

Motor: Mileage unknown, looked fresh when I opened it up. head studs, valve springs, 706 head castings and new ls9 cam. 80 pound seimens injectors and two walbro 255l inline fuel pumps run parallel for the E85 fuel support.

Turbos: rebuilt Holset H1C's, Headers are made from a mild steel header kit and are tig welded, 3" down pipes that merge into 4" exhaust that runs out behind the rear passenger tire, waste gates came off ebay dont really know the brand

Trans: th350, alto red clutches and kolene steels. shift kit, hardened outer intermediate race with new sprag, tsi converter.

Rear end: GM 8.5" with 308 gears gov lock and disk brakes.

Front diff: GM 308 gear set and axle from a 1993 AWD astro safari

Transfer case: AWD case from olds bravad, I just resently put this in

Other: This was pretty much a frame off restoration, the frame was completely disassembled, sand blasted then painted with industrial paint and reassembled with new prothane (urethane) bushings, all ball joints and steering components are new also, I guess I should say new two years ago, I probably have less than 2500 miles on the truck since the rebuild I am not sure of the mileage and ebay wanted a number so I just put 1, the title states that it was 106,646 on it when I bought it in 2000 . The suv also has 4 wheel disk brakes and has a hydro boost braking and power steering system, It works awesome. All the air conditioning components are there, i never charged it to know if it works, it WAS something I was going to work on as I had time. The interior was completely taken out and cleaned there is wear on the drivers seat, I just didnt get around to having it fixed, theres other small cosmetic issues just from its age, but everything is clean. Body itself has fresh paint but its NOT perfect and has some small scratches and chips, but you would have to look for them, there not too obvious. I put this project together with the intention of driving it, its not a show truck but it is a nice truck, had lots of fun with it and makes decent power .

Chevy Colorado configurator goes live as GM touts fuel efficiency

Wed, 03 Sep 2014

While the news of today is destined to be dominated by a certain plucky Japanese roadster, props to Chevrolet and GMC for announcing its own significant bit of news about their newest pickup twins, the midsize Colorado and Canyon. The two GM-owned brands announced that the twins' 3.6-liter V6 will return up to 26 miles per gallon on the freeway.
To get such efficiency from the 305-horsepower mill, you'll need to live without four-wheel drive and be okay with a max city fuel economy of 18 mpg. The combined rating for the 2WD model sits at 21 mpg. Adding four-wheel drive drops the city and combined ratings by one mpg, while the highway rating dips from 26 to 24 mpg.
As for the twins' eagerly anticipated 2.8-liter diesel engine, it's destined for model year 2016, meaning we've got a ways to go before its efficiency and output are certified.

GM reportedly recalling select 2014 Silverado, Sierra pickups over airbag issue

Sun, 21 Jul 2013

General Motors is recalling 843 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra Crew Cab pickups, due to a fault with the vehicle's airbags. According to GM, the airbags may not inflate properly in the event of a crash. There haven't been any crashes or injuries associated with this recall, which is always good. Naturally, repairs will be free of charge, and GM will begin contacting affected owners soon.
GM has a lot hanging on the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. Not only is it banking over $12,000 per vehicle on these trucks, as reported by Automotive News, but GM is counting on the Sierra and Silverado to take the fight to cross-town rivals Ford and Ram. The F-150 and Ram 1500 have been on a tear over the past few years, with fresh updates, advanced powertrains, and plenty of solid press while the GM trucks have been waiting for the 2014-model-year upgrades.
It's still entirely too early to judge the Sierra and Silverado, particularly as those 843 recalled trucks make up barely two percent of the over 40,000 units moved so far. But, as AN rightly states, these trucks are the most important vehicles to come out of GM since bankruptcy, with about 60 percent of global profits relating to pickups and SUVs. Starting an introduction of such a big product with a recall, however small, is not the preferred way to do things.

General Motors shaking up its marketing... again

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")
