1987 Gmc Jimmy Sierra Classic Sport Utility 2-door 5.0l on 2040-cars
|
Up for auction is my fuel injected 1987 GMC Jimmy K5. This is a very original southern vehicle, with very little rust. I have owned at least 6 of these k5's and I can tell you it easier to start on one with potential than to buy a cheap rust bucket and fix it. This is a factory equiped fuel injected 305 and a new engine was installed about 10,000 miles ago. It still has the factory auto locking hubs. All the power windows work; however they are a little slow. The dash is perfect with no cracks along with the door panels. The seats are vinyl and the driver seat will need to be recovered, but the other 2 are fine.The air condition works, but may need charge come summer. The last time I ran the ac was september and it worked fine. The paint is a little weak especially on the passenger side, but driver side is fine. My guess is it stayed under a carport and the passenger side was exposed to the elements. A small exhaust leak can be heard when you first crank it up but it goes away after it warms up, so I am assuming it is where the manifold and collector meet. It does not have the typical rust on the quarter panels, fenders or rocker panels. The only spot is under the top on the passenger side, pics will show this. This is my daily driver, so I have tried to keep up with maintenance, but it is 27 years old and things just fail. If you have never owned a older vehilce, replacing parts is just part of owning one. I think it has a valve cover leak, but the engine does not smoke and the fuel injection sure is nice opposed to a carbuerator. This is the only fuel injected one I have owned and it is nice not having to pump the gas to crank it up. The transmisssion is a 700r4 which means it is a overdrive transmission. The vehicle shows 73,000 miles but Im sure it is at least 173,000 so I'm sure the transmission has been replaced at some time. If you are familiar with the 700r4, factory built ones do no last long, so that's why I say it probably has been replaced with 173,000 miles. I put new 33x10.50 BFG Mud Terrains on it in November 2013 so they may have 1500 miles on them. Other new parts are starter, battery, alternator and axle seals. Bumpers are also in good shape and has a receiver hitch. I do not have to sell this vehicle and if it does sell I hope it goes to someone that wants one to restore or keep factory original. This also for sale locally so I may end the auction early. A $500.00 is due at the end of auction. I can be contacted @ 731-780-4298 if you have any questions or need to see anything else.

GM planning to put its fullsize pickups on a big diet, too
Fri, 19 Jul 2013General Motors is just coming off a complete redesign of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra for 2014, but in the US fullsize truck market, there is no rest for the weary. According to Reuters, plans are already unfurling for both trucks to drop pounds from their curb weight over the next few years, but this will unlikely be able to keep pace with the 700-pound diet targeted for the next-generation Ford F-150, a truck expected to debut late next year.
The biggest weight reduction for these trucks might not be available until the next full redesign, which will likely happen around 2019, but the article says that smaller updates could shave pounds in the meantime. Two examples given include an "aluminum-intensive" version of the Silverado that could shed 250 pounds and debut around the same time as the lighter-weight, aluminum-bodied 2015 Ford, and there is also talk of reducing weight for driveline components such as axles and driveshafts. These changes are all part of an attempt to meet strict new fuel economy standards coming in 2017, targets which will get even tougher in 2025.
GM readying aluminum-body fullsize pickups
Wed, 19 Feb 2014Ford's extensive use of aluminum in its 2015 F-150 is a big deal. A really big deal. Big enough, in fact, that General Motors is reportedly changing its fullsize pickup strategy. According to The Wall Street Journal, The General has locked in partnerships with Alcoa Inc. and Novelis Inc. - companies that will supply aluminum for the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks.
"Ford's introduction of the 2015 F-150 pickup truck was a game changer, and it's the first, not the last, conversion of this type," Novelis spokesperson Charles Belbin told the Journal. The switch to aluminum has allowed Ford to shave roughly 700 pounds off its fullsize truck's curb weight. And while official mileage ratings have not been announced, the weight loss should go a long way for improving efficiency, especially when combined other efficiency-minded improvements including better aerodynamics and new, turbocharged V6 engines.
Of course, aluminum-bodied cars are nothing new. But extensive use of aluminum in a major, best-selling product like the Ford F-150 is expected to kick off widespread use of this weight-saving material as availability rises and cost decreases. The WSJ reports that GM had originally explored the idea of moving to aluminum pickups back in 2008, but abandoned the idea due to cost concerns amid economic woes.
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
