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.!!!!!*****

2014 Chevrolet Silverado tows in new configurator, microsite

Mon, 21 Jan 2013

Judging by your continued enthusiastic response to configurator notices, dear reader, you enjoy speccing out new cars as much as we do. Better still, there tends to be even more ways to personalize, configure and bloat theoretical MSRPs on full-size trucks as there are with more ordinary passenger cars. In addition to trim level, engine and transmission choices, truck buyers usually have to specify items like cab configuration, bed length, number of driven axles, tow packages, gear ratios and all sorts of bits and bobs.
That's why we're pleased to see the DIY specification utility for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado come alive so soon after this week's Detroit Auto Show debut. While the configurator lacks pricing (General Motors hasn't announced numbers yet) and full options, you can still spec out your half-ton rig, and even print it out or email it to your friends. Beyond the configurator, the new model-specific site is pretty cool, too, with various videos and closer looks at the truck's new features.
The new Chevrolet pickup range won't be on dealer lots until sometime this summer, so whether you're a building contractor, an avid sportsman or just a guy or gal that loves full-size trucks, you might want to check out the link below to keep your appetite whetted. If you're more of a Sierra fan, well, it looks like you're going to have to wait a while - GMC hasn't updated its site yet.

2014 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra first pickups to ace updated NHTSA tests [w/video]

Tue, 20 Aug 2013

General Motors has just become the first pickup truck manufacturer to receive five-star overall vehicle scores in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's New Car Assessment Program. The updated safety standards, which went into effect in 2011, are more strenuous than the previous NHTSA curriculum and involve collecting both more and more substantial data, reflecting the improved safety inherent in newer vehicles. This feat is made more impressive by the fact that both Ford and Ram have released brand-new trucks since the new testing went into effect - GM's victory is no technicality.
The rating only applies to the redesigned, light-duty Silverado, Sierra and their upmarket variants, High Country and Denali, respectively, while only Crew Cab variants were tested. Considering that the four-door body style will make up 60 percent of GM's light-duty truck sales, the exclusion of the other variants seems reasonable.
This news is sure to be yet another feather in GM's pickup-oriented cap. Be sure to scroll down for video of the crash testing, as well as the full press release from General Motors.

Ward's releases 10 Best Interiors list for 2014

Thu, 10 Apr 2014

While we're still a ways off from the automotive awards season proper, where things like North American Car and Truck of the Year, Motor Trend's Car of the Year and Car and Driver's Ten Best are named, that doesn't mean there aren't trophies being handed out to deserving automakers. Ward's 10 Best Interiors being one of them.
As the name might imply, the magazine focuses on the very best interior treatments in the US market. Whereas some awards purposely exclude extreme, high-dollar offerings, Ward's considers them - the only requirement is that a vehicle has a "new or significantly redesigned interior."
Ward's offered up the list of winners in simple, alphabetical order, and it only seems fair to do the same:
