For sale: Clean, unmolested 86 Jimmy 4x4 from the dry high desert. It's a very decent survivor truck that doesn't need much to be really nice. If you're looking for a good vintage 4x4 and tired of looking at overpriced rust buckets, this may be your rig. I'll do my best to describe it below:

Exterior: Paint appears to be all original paint except the hood. Typical small chips and scratches from use. At some point the hood was repainted, and while the color matches well and looks great from 10 feet, it was an inexpensive job and the hood is grainy up close. Hood would need to be repainted to be really squared away. Truck is virtually rust free, no cancer or rot with only minor surface rust that I'll describe . There is no salt used on the  roads in this area of the high desert, and here in the land of sagebrush and prickly pear cactus we only get 10 inches total moisture per year. We just don't see serious rust issues here. There is a small blister on each side near the bottom of the door about the size of a quarter(shown, I zoomed way in on those), a couple very small discolorations above rear bumper on each side(wouldn't show up in pics), and the metal tab inside the front fenderwell that holds moisture shows scale (shown). There were some small holes drilled at bottom of sill for running boards- very minor discoloration around those. Underside is amazingly dry, clean and mint. Windshield is new, top looks good but is faded. Back window has the usual scratches. No pitting whatsoever on chrome or stainless. Just a nice looking driver rig that gets compliments everywhere I go - you just don't see many of these that haven't been hacked on or abused.

Interior: All original and good driver quality with no issues. Seats are nice, carpet decent, door and rear panels nice. Dash has a few cracks under the dashmat. Very nice and presentable. Brand new stereo/CD player with remote using factory speakers. No rodents, or smells. With captains chair buckets and tilt wheel, very comfortable rig. I have  a low mile original 72 K5 Blazer, and this rig is SOOO much more comfortable. Original spare in place has never been on the ground, and the factory jack and handle are in place. One A/C vent is missing vanes but a brand new one from LMC is included.

Mechanical: Starts, runs, and drives out great. Original anemic 305 was replaced by previous owner with earlier 4 bolt 350 with Performer manifold and carb for more power and fuel economy. Pulls hard and smooth. 700R4 overdrive works well. I drove this back and forth to work for a month and didn't find any major issues. Minor issues are the fast idle is a bit high, the A/C belt isn't on although compressor turns freely. Engine was used, not rebuilt, and I don't know how many miles are on it, but I don't see any glaring problems - no major leaks, smoke or noise. There are receipts for about $2k in work to swap motor and put all new exhaust on. Sounds great with turbo mufflers and big pipes but not obnoxious - just healthy. Tires are 31x10.50 and are in good condition. 4 wheel drive works fine. Steering is tight and quiet. Battery is newer and the truck starts every time no matter how cold. Heater works fine. Back window rolls up/down with both the inside switch and the outside key but sometimes it stops, and you have to hit the switch again to get it going. If it's cold out might need to do it a few times. Only issues I can see are as follows: A couple gauges don't work properly -choke light stays on, ammeter doesn't show charge, but it charges fine(typical). Fuel gauge fluctuates - not a big deal around town, but might cause you some stress on a road trip. Oil pressure gauge fluctuates, drops then snaps back up to top of gauge - might be sending unit. Overall very capable rig to use as is or take to the next level and make it whatever you want it to be!

Pricing/Misc: I got a good deal on this car and you will too. I see this era Blazer and Jimmy bringing stupid money when they are clean, especially from rust belt bidders. I guess it  must cost much more to fix  cancer and rot than to pay a few hundred bucks to ship a dry rig from the high desert. This truck needs a few things, it's not perfect, and it's priced accordingly. I'd say it's a lot like the used trucks that could be found on any car lot in the late 90's..decent survivor used vehicle. It seems that today, though, most of these for sale are either thrashed to death, or priced in the stratosphere. Reserve price is well under $5k for quick sale. Title is clear and in my name. Dealers welcome to bid if they don't plan to simply double the price and relist it without proper disclosure. GOOD LUCK!

Do you guys like trucks?

Wed, Jan 17 2018

Do you guys like trucks? If the answer is yes, boy do we have the show for you! The 2018 North American International Auto Show is lousy with 'em. Yeah, we saw the new Ram 1500, Chevy Silverado and Ford Ranger, but that's just scratching the surface. There are big trucks, little trucks, clean trucks, dirty trucks, old trucks, new trucks, red trucks, blue trucks. It's like a Dr. Seuss book. Anyway, we made a little video for you truck nuts (see what I did there?). Check it out above, and if you're looking for more serious coverage of the Detroit Auto Show, we've got it, along with a ton of images and other videos from the show floor. Enjoy!

Expect greater differentiation in GM's next-generation SUVs

Thu, 03 Jan 2013

General Motors says its next-generation Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade models will offer shoppers improved interior differentiation. Car and Driver recently caught up with Chris Hilts, GM's creative manager of interior design, who said that the cabins will all feature unique instrument panels, consoles, center stacks and switchgear moving forward. Apparently GM is now aware that consumers may be bothered by the fact that today's $85,000 Escalade has effectively the same cabin as a $45,000 Tahoe. Hilts says SUV buyers want more refinement than their pickup purchasing counterparts - and those same buyers also want their SUVs to have more exterior differentiation between the company's Silverado and Sierra pickup lines. Shocking.
That all sounds good to us, but we've heard this song and dance before. GM made big waves about how different the new-for-2013 Silverado and Sierra would look from each other, but judging by what we've seen so far, GM's stylists are painting in shades rather than with the full spectrum.

GMC's Denali offerings are going great guns

Fri, 28 Feb 2014

The Denali trim that GMC uses to denote its top-of-the-line vehicles was introduced back in 1999, partly as a way to challenge the recently introduced Lincoln Navigator. Fifteen years later, and with GMC the tenth-largest US automotive brand by itself Denali has become a sub-brand that keeps the cash registers ringing at the Renaissance Center HQ. While GMC increased sales by 9 percent in 2013, TheDetroitBureau.com reports that that Denali sales rose by 20 percent.
There are currently five Denali models in the GMC line, with the Denali trim available on all but its commercial vans. In 2010, when the now-discontinued Yukon XL Hybrid was also on sale, GMC sold 32,886 units of its top trim. Last year, that number had increased to 75,558, with almost no help from traditional marketing spends. Go to YouTube and search for "GMC Denali commercials" - the few actual commercial results are from years ago. GMC marketing director Roger McCormack tells TheDetroitBureau.com, "It's largely all been organic."
As sales have grown, so has the tide of money GMC rakes in from the additional luxury features on Denali models. The 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe starts at $44,600, yet its 2014 Yukon Denali doppelganger starts at $58,320, pricing that includes additional features like the larger 6.2-liter V8, nicer interior, head-up display and magnetic ride control suspension. The Yukon XL Denali starts at $60,965, but the article says the "average customer" likely to spend "up and above $70,000" to take one home. How does that happen? On a top-trim Tahoe LTZ, the top-tier wheel option is a set of 20-inch chrome wheels for $400; on the 'base' Yukon Denali you can swap for a set of 22-inch chrome alloys for $2,995. Add it up, and an analyst at AutoTrends Consulting said that kind of margin "epitomizes the concept of obscene profitability." We say when it comes to Denali, GMC appears to stand for "Grabbing More Cash."
