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.

2015 GMC Yukon erupts into flames during Anaheim test drive [w/video]

Mon, 24 Mar 2014

A 2015 GMC Yukon burst into flames while on a test drive in Anaheim, CA on Sunday after smoke filled the cabin. Residents of the neighborhood where the driver abandoned the redesigned Yukon reported hearing a series of small explosions (likely the tires, based on the video), according to a report from KTLA and The Los Angeles Times.
No one was injured in the incident, which The Times reports occurred after a possible oil or fluid leak. As you can see in the image above, the Yukon was engulfed in flames, although the Anaheim Fire Department was able to put out the blaze in about 15 minutes.
"We're very lucky that no one got hurt, and it was in an area that... was safe," Lt. Tim Schmidt of the Anaheim Police Department told KTLA reporters. "If there was any place that was going to be safe, it would be this area. It's very open. It worked out for us."
