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.

Weekly Recap: Auto execs face life in prison for recall delays under proposed legislation
Sat, 09 Aug 2014
The stiff punishments are part of broader transportation legislation, but clearly McCaskill has automakers in her sights.
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill threw down the gauntlet this week, proposing a bill that could send auto executives to prison for life if they were found to have delayed a recall. She also wants to eliminate the limit for fines for auto safety violations, which are currently capped at $35 million.
GM looks to combat high theft rates on SUVs with added tech
Tue, 24 Dec 2013The Cadillac Escalade has been at or near the top of most-stolen and insurance-loss lists for more than seven years, until it dropped to number six earlier this year. In 2011 it was fitted with a host of new security features to address its easy-to-override features and that has brought the number of thefts down, but when eight of the ten most stolen rides are large SUVs from General Motors, no one will argue that something else needs to be done.
Thus, GM has fitted this same theft-deterring tech to the 2015 Suburban, Tahoe and Yukon. The Suburban and Tahoe will get the steering lock that the Escalade and Yukon already get, plus bolted-down third-row seats to deter thefts like this, stronger door lock cylinders and shields, and side-cut keys to inhibit picking.
Additional security measures in a Theft Protection Package can be purchased for $395, consisting of sensors on the greenhouse glass and interior, an incline/tilt sensor and added "key control systems" to make it more difficult for the men in black balaclavas to steal what you bought.
NHTSA opens safety investigations into Toyota, GM and Honda crossovers
Fri, 08 Jun 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is evidently keeping itself very busy these days, as the federal agency has just announced it is launching or renewing investigations into Toyota, Honda and General Motors crossovers.
2006-2008 model year Toyota RAV4 crossovers are under review for allegations of rear tie-rod rust which can result in failure. NHTSA also said it is probing some 35 complaints about 2005 Honda Pilot models with inappropriate activation of the vehicles' stability control system. The alleged malfunction can cause the vehicles to slow down or stop in bad unsafe situations. At the moment, NHTSA is reviewing a petition regarding the Pilot issue, a move that will determine whether it needs to open a full-blown investigation.
In addition, Saturn Outlook and GMC Acadia three-row crossovers built in 2007-2009 are getting looked at for "loss of low beam headlamp" function. One complainant said the wiring in his Outlook overheated and melted. NHTSA says it has received 415 complaints about the problem and a GM spokesman confirmed that the automaker already started a "Customer Satisfaction Program" in December to address the issue.
