This is my personal 1994 GMC Step Side.  I purchased the truck in Tennessee from the previous owner who got it from his best friend in 2005.  Truck is one of the nicest and cleanest that I have ever seen.  Runs and drives flawlessly.  It is hard to believe how well this truck drives.  I have built several of these trucks and tried to buy this one for over 6 months before I was able to convince the previous owner to let go of it.  You can tell from some of the photos how clean the underside and engine area of this truck is.  I did not spray bomb it, the truck is really this clean.

The crate motor was purchased from Bill Heard Chevrolet in Huntsville Alabama in January of 2006.  Was installed by Corvettes Plus in Whitesburg Tennessee when the truck had approximately 119500 miles.  I do have receipts and documentation of this.  Previous customer drove it for close to 17,000 miles before he sold it to me.  I put around 1500 on it before I decided to upgrade the truck.  Vehicle has 138,000 miles showing on the odometer.  This is correct.

I decided to increase some of the performance, but not change the reliability of the vehicle.  I researched Harris Performance (you can go to tbichips dot com to find out more info) and really liked what he had to say about building TBI motors. I used his cam, intake, & chip ideas for this build.

Installed Edelbrock TBI Intake manifold.  Updated Throttle Body.  Comp Cams 249 H cam designed for TBI motors.  New valve springs.  
Chrome Headers.  New free flowing Y Pipe Exhaust into a Flowmaster muffler with custom drops at the back corners of the bed.
Truck has a great sound.  Not loud just very deep.  No exhaust drone sound at any RPM.  Very nice to cruise in.

I wanted a little more get up and go so I installed a 4:10 Auburn Posi rear end with upgraded brake drums.  I hate a vehicle that only turns one rear wheel. The truck has great cruising ability because of the 700 r4 Overdrive Tranny.  If you want to get nasty with it you can.  Great runner with good fuel economy.  When I did the upgrades I went ahead and put in a new radiator, high flow fuel pump, power steering pump, and anything that could be updated.  Front and rear brakes are new and operate great. 

American Racing 18" wheels in the front and 20" in the rear.  Tires have decent tread.  Rears are getting a little thin, but not dangerous.

Body of the truck is great.  There is a small dent in the top of the passenger side bed rail.  Looks like an elbow mark.  I have a photo of it showing the small imperfection. Very hard to see unless you are looking for it.  The bed of the truck is in excellent shape.  There are a few rock chips on the front.  Overall, the paint is in great shape.  Not an all out show truck, but very close.  Doors do not sag, bushings have been upgraded so doors close like new. 

Interior is stock and in great shape.  No rips or tears in seat.  Carpet has a couple of stains, but very good condition.  The fuse door cover is broken.  I have it but the tab has broken off like most of these do.  

I am a Harley Davidson dealer.  I would have interest in Harley or other brand motorcycle trades.  Please contact me to discuss values.

I recently purchased a Jeep SRT8 so I need to make some space in the garage.  This GMC truck is a knock out.  Gets looks everywhere I go.  Hate to get rid of it, but I only have so much space.

Please contact me if you have any questions or need anything else.

No carbon fiber was harmed in the making of new 2015 GMC Sierra Carbon Edition

Fri, 12 Sep 2014

Carbon fiber is known for its properties of combining amazing strength with extremely low weight, and its frequent use in high performance vehicles gives the material a somewhat aggressive air. GMC is hoping to play on some of that mean reputation with its upcoming trio of Sierra Carbon Editions. However, despite their name, there's no actual carbon making its way onto these trucks (at least in the form of CF). Instead, the special edition is a graphics package with some extra equipment thrown in.
All three specials are based on the 2015 Sierra 1500 and can be ordered in two- or four-wheel drive configuration and with the standard 4.3-liter V6 or optional 5.3-liter V8. Things kick off with the standard Sierra Carbon Edition for $33,075, including destination, available only on the double cab body. Buyers get a black grille, carbon fiber decals on the hood and tailgate and body color trim for the door handles and mirror caps. The edition also adds keyless entry, a 110-volt outlet and LED cargo box lighting.
Buyers wanting just a touch more style can opt for the Carbon 20 Edition on the SLE double cab that gets the same exterior tweaks, plus 20-inch aluminum wheels, and retails for $38,275. Finally, there is the Carbon 22 Edition starting at $42,270 on the SLE in double- or crew cab models. It adds further black 22-inch wheels, tubular side steps, fog lights, keyless start, a universal home remote, dual-zone climate control and 110-volt outlet.

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.

GM pushing back on proposed pickup and SUV brake recall [w/poll]

Tue, 08 Jul 2014

Through the first six months of 2014, General Motors has recalled 29 million cars and trucks in 54 different actions. If your author's notoriously sketchy math is correct, that'd work out to one recall every 3.5 days (as of this writing). GM is actively fighting to make sure there isn't a 55th recall, though.
Safety critics, including perennial nemesis Clarence Ditlow of the Center for Auto Safety, are calling on GM to recall a further six million pickup trucks and SUVs in northerly climes due to corroding brake lines caused by the use of road salt. There is a catch, here, though ­- the vehicles in question are over 10 years old, and include the 1999 to 2003 Chevrolet Silverado, Suburban and GMC Sierra, as well as the 2000 to 2003 Tahoe and Yukon (shown above).
GM issued the following statement on the matter, obtained by CNN Money:
