1972 Gmc Jimmy "custom" on 2040-cars
Port Orchard, Washington, United States
1972 GMC Jimmy "Custom" This is a project
vehicle & the reserve set reflects it. Having said that, it is still
a custom Jimmy, in Hugger orange! i have taken pictures of the area's
that are problematic & as you can see, they are minimal. The rust
area's are pretty much confined to the rockers, passenger side door
corners & the small spot in the front of the passenger side floor
boards. The very back area of the bed is pretty much the carpet backing.
I purchased this from the previous owner (recently deceased) with the
intention of fixing it up to a "trail rig" as you can see from the
photos, the passenger side has a bit of "trail patina" but nothing to
major for the rear quarter panel & all rockers, fenders & patch
panels are readily available & fairly inexpensive for this type of
vehicle. Those are the bad things. The good things
are the overall shape of this vehicle! The skinny that i know of goes
as follows. The rig has not been plated since 2004 i think. The previous
owner parked it (with no problems/running at the time) with the
intention of putting a fuel injection set-up on it. There it sat, under a
tarp, until his recent passing, upon which time i acquired the vehicle.
It has what is rumored to be a 400 small block Chevy in it, that may
run, but i have not attempted to get it started & going (hence the
low reserve) the majority of the floors, firewall & dash are largely
untouched minus the dash artist.Frame is in good shape with a "scuff
& shoot" all that is really needed. I was planning on putting the
floors in black rhino lining myself, but that is up to you! The vehicle
has had a basic clean out, with no washing of the interior & a quick
bath of the outside. It has some leather bucket seats out of an Honda
accord i think & an original rear that will need to be re-done.
Center console is there & seems to only need a few trim pieces.
Please feel free to e-mail me any questions about the vehicle. Buyer is
responsible for shipping & please bid on the vehicle if you can
afford to buy it. Buyer is responsible for shipping from area code 98367

New J.D. Power Initial Quality Study puts Porsche, GM in spotlight
Wed, 19 Jun 2013J.D. Power and Associates has released its annual Initial Quality Study, and this year, Porsche and General Motors took the spotlight. The study, which asks new car owners to report problems experienced during the first 90 days of ownership, found that overall, the industry averages 113 problems per 100 vehicles.
Porsche managed a score of just 80 problems per 100 vehicles, while GMC took the second spot on the podium with 90. Lexus filled out the top three with 94 problems per 100 vehicles, followed by Infiniti at 95 and Chevrolet at 97. The study also looks at specific models, and found the Lexus LS to enjoy the best initial quality at 59 problems per 100 vehicles.
Interestingly enough, the report found that around two-thirds of most owner problems experienced in the first 90 days are attributable to vehicle design instead of mechanical failure. Specifically - echoing a refrain we've been hearing for the last few years - owners are having a hard time figuring out how to use the technology present in their new vehicles. Head over to the J.D. Power site for more information, or scroll down below for the company's related press release.
GM tells NHTSA pickup truck electronic glitch is 'inconsequential'
Wed, 26 Feb 2014
General Motors has been enduring some serious problems with recalls recently, and it is hoping to avoid launching another major safety campaign. 200,921 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups are under the microscope due to a rare problem with their instruments, an issue GM calls calls "inconsequential to motor vehicle safety." The Detroit-based automaker believes that the glitch is so minor that it has filed a petition with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration asking the government safety watchdog for permission to pass on recalling the vehicles.
The fault at issue can occasionally cause the instrument cluster to reset when drivers use the steering wheel controls to browse songs from an external media device connected to the truck's USB ports. If a song's title information exceeds 2,000 bytes, according to The Detroit News, then the instrument panel can reset, which in turn causes the gauges, shift position indicator and cruise control telltale to turn off briefly. When rebooting, other instrument panel lights may briefly illuminate without their functions actually being activated. GM claims that if this does happen, the instrument display lights go out for about 1.5 seconds and the bulb check lasts a further five seconds. However, this snafu has no actual affect on the truck's operation. The glitch is present in trucks built between January 29, 2013, and October 28, 2013.
GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say
Fri, 05 Apr 2013The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.
