This is a 1993 GMC Typhoon with aprox 88,500 original miles.  The truck is now painted black but was a apple red with silver cladding.  The cladding is missing but now has wheel well moldings on it.  The wheels are 20 inch after market with tire in very good condition.  They don't seem to be very old at all.  The engine is a 4.3 turbo charged with a water to air intercooler system that came from the factory.  The truck does need a few things.  The truck runs and drives very good and hold good oil pressure around 40-60 pounds.  The front seats do have cracks in them and the passanger bottom thread is missing along the seem.  The center console used some work, I believe one hinge is broken.  The steering wheel is a aftermarket grant with a horn button located under the dash.  The stereo is a cd player that made by alpine.  There are some gauges inside the truck.  The water temp on the pillar is hooked up and the one of the dash is not.  I have the sending unit and is easy to switch it back.  The oil pressure works on the dash and not the pillar gauge.  The carpet behind the front driver seat needs some work and there is a picture posted.  The back seat seems to be in really good condition.  The power windows and door looks work great.  The windows are all tinted including the windshield but the tint on the front to windows need redone.   Now to the drivetrain.  The engine does have some small oil leaks and what not and I notice the drive side valve cover is the worse of them which is  very common for these 4.3 engines.  The factory boost controller is current in need of being replaced and is by passed so the truck will only make about 8 pounds of boost right now.  I had a manual one from another project on it and the turbo will spool up to the factory boost of around 14 with no problems.  The factory control is a electronic unit.   The transmission shifts great and a shift kit as be install.  Nice firm quick shifts with no slipping.  When it cold it is a little hard from 1st to 2nd but this is a normal condition for these trucks.  The truck is lower a little more than factory but I had is aligned last week with no problems and od have the paperwork showing so.  The front brakes and new pads, calipers, and hoses on both sides.  Just passed Delaware inspection for everything but the window tint which we are not along to have here in this state and have the paper working show this as well.  Delaware does have emissions and it passed on that as well.  The body is pretty good but the drivers door does need door pins.  There is a little rust at the bottom of both front doors and the tailgate.  The cab itself is rust free in, out and under.  The hood is a 2.5 inch aftermarket cowl with a finished under side.  All the lights work on the truck as well.  Every once in a while the anti lock brake like with come on, probably needs a wheel speed sensor.  The is a small dent in tailgate buy the typhoon logo on the tailgate.  The roll pan paint is a flat black and does not match the rest of the truck very well.  Kind of goes with the front bumper finish.  I bought this truck a few weeks ago but have released I don't have time for all the projects I have or I would not be selling this.  This is a very fun truck to drive.  If you have any questions or would like to see this truck please contact me on my cell 302 632 7341, chris.  I will ship this truck but the buying will be resopncible for paying for this and setting up and shipper.  Truck currently has a Maryland title that is clear and clean.  The title shows 54,555 miles on 12/13/07.  I have tried ot state everything I know but there may be something I missed and please understand this a 1993 truck and is 20 years old.  These are very rare and if was restored to it orginal color there were only 101 in the color available in 1993.  There was less than 5000 ever made. 

***Just noticed on the vechile report that his truck has 100,000 more than I thought.  The auto check shows that when is went from 145,000 to 147,000 they forgot the add the 1 in front of 47.  With that in mind I thought the truck has 88,500 but it really has 188,500.******

***I have been informed by to ebay members that this is not a real typhoon but is a clone.  This is don't know for sure but seems to be the case, you are buying with this being a very good possiblility.!!!!!*****

Chevy Express 1500, GMC Savana 1500 get the axe

Tue, 15 Jul 2014

Fans of truck-based, light-duty vans can officially pour one out for the Chevrolet Express 1500 and GMC Savana 1500, as General Motors has officially put its long-serving big/little rigs out to pasture. Things aren't quite as sad as they sound, though. The heavier-duty 2500 and 3500 vans will soldier on, in order to duke it out with the largest members of Ram ProMaster, Ford Transit and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter families.
The move does seem to make a lot of sense. According to GM, customers only purchase the 1500-spec Chevrolet 23 percent of the time, while the GMC captures a mere 7 percent of the Savana family's sales. With numbers like that, it's no shock that GM thinks it can shift some of its buyers into its van family's more capable variants. "We knew we could move a lot of our 1500 customers into 2500-series territory," said GM's Joe Langhauser, the product manager for the company's full-size vans.
It's not just simple sales figures dictating the move, though. The 1500 line is taking up some valuable factory space that will be better spent on an eagerly anticipated new product.

GM recalling 250,000 SUVs over door electronics

Mon, 20 Aug 2012

After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.

GM recalls Chevy Express, GMC Savana over rollaway concern

Mon, 21 Jan 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall notice for a small number of General Motors fullsize vans due to possible rollaway concerns. On certain 2013 Chevrolet Express and 2013 GMC Savana models, it is possible to remove the key from the ignition without the shifter being in park.
Only 980 total units are being affected by this recall, and GM is fixing the issue by replacing the ignition cylinder and associated keys. Affected Chevy vans were built during most of November and December while its GMC counterpart was only built for a week in November. The recall goes into effect on January 23, and to find out if your vehicle applies to the recall, the GM and NHTSA contact numbers can be found on the official recall notice, which is posted below.
