1992 Gmc Typhoon, Low Miles, Amazing Condition on 2040-cars
Orion, Illinois, United States
This 1992 GMC Typhoon is in terrific condition. It's quick, tons of fun and very unique.
90% of it was repainted last yet, so the exterior is amazing (9.5/10). The interior is also in very good condition (9/10). This Typhoon is very well maintained. Tune up/all fluids/bushings/etc all complete within last year. Current on all maintenance (two exceptions below). Pictures are with Corvette wheels. I also have the stock wheels available, but like the look of the Corvette wheels better. This Typhoon is all stock except I fixed all of the reliability problems Typhoons are known for: - Aftermarket HD front propshaft (driveshaft) (stock one can break, damaging many other items when it goes). - Upgraded brakes. - HD motor mounts and torque strap (stock Typhoon have so much torque, the motor mounts frequently break). - ABS delete (stock unit is known to fail, causing brake failure). - Aftermarket tune (stock tune can over-boost and cause spark knock, causing cracked pistons). - Carbon-fiber intake tube (stock one is known to crack and send plastic through the turbo). The negatives: - There is a small cut in the driver's seat (see picture). - A few touch up paint spots on driver's front fender (see picture). - Motor needs valve seals ($400). I haven't had time to do it. No risk to motor, just a small puff of smoke at start-up. - A/C holds coolant for only a few weeks. I haven't done any troubleshooting on this yet. - Carbon fiber intake needs refinished (see picture). Overall this Typhoon is amazing and ready to drive every day without hassle. It'll bring a smile to your face at every stoplight! |

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
GMC to get own model not shared with Chevy?
Mon, 20 Jan 2014For years, GMC has existed as a brand without a single unique product, reconstituting Chevrolet trucks, SUVs and crossovers with more frosting in exchange for a few extra dollars. The Sierra is a Silverado, the Acadia a Traverse, and the Terrain an Equinox, although admittedly the latter pair are visually differentiated to a significant degree.
GMC could be set to expand beyond its Chevy-based roots, though. During last week's Detroit Auto Show press days, GM's product boss Mark Reuss was asked whether there'd ever be a GMC that wasn't taken from Chevy. "Oh, yes, you will," Reuss told the media. "The health of GMC is astonishingly good from a consideration standpoint." Reuss wouldn't elaborate on what the model could be, although we're quite happy to make some guesses. GMC has its bases fairly well covered, with a mid-size and full-size crossover, as well as a mid-size, full-size and HD pickup. We doubt GMC will be building a family sedan, sports car, or hatchback, so really, the only place we can see the brand going is into a smaller crossover.
Automotive News points out that the most recent small GMC showcar, the 2010 Granite concept (shown above), won't see production according to General Motors. That vehicle likely would have rode on GM's compact vehicle architecture, known internally as Gamma II, which underpins the Chevy Spark and Sonic, as well as the Buick Encore (and its overseas Opel/Vauxhall/Chevy counterparts).
GM reportedly recalling select 2014 Silverado, Sierra pickups over airbag issue
Sun, 21 Jul 2013General 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.
