1999 - Gmc Sierra 1500 on 2040-cars
Scott, Arkansas, United States
I am now selling my 1999 New Body Style GMC Sierra 1500 Z71 Extended Cab Short Bed SLT. I am the second owner of the truck, and I bought it used from two elderly women that used it as their daily driver and a rig to tow their small camper. The truck was completely stock when I received it, and came with 98,xxx miles. This was my first truck, and after multiple stages of modification and more money spent than I want to count up, the result is what you see in the pictures below. I have all of the modifications listed below as well, and it wont take long to recognize the effort, time, and money I have spent on the truck over the past 6 years. I completed all of the work in my driveway with the help of Mud Connection Off Road in Little Rock, Arkansas when it came to tasks I didn't trust myself to attempt. As the truck sits, she now has 155,xxx miles on her, but nothing except the motor has more than 500 miles on it since being either replaced or rebuilt, except for the frame, body, and interior. Everything on the truck functions as it should, with no strange sounds, leaks, or any other issues that I have found and failed to correct. I would trust the truck to drive across the country if I needed to do so, as I have built it with functionality and reliability always considered the most crucial aspects of the modifications that I have made. I have always run 91 Octane and all Mobil 1 Synthetic lubricants in the truck since I've had it, and used Seafoam to clean all of the systems on the truck periodically. The only reason I am selling the truck is strictly because I don't have the time to thoroughly enjoy it as I should. I always told myself that I wouldn't ever sell my first truck, but I believe the time has come for me to pass it on to someone that would enjoy it more than I am able to. I'm a senior in college, and as I prepare myself to enter grad school next year, and then the job market, I know the truck will be neglected even more than it is now. The list of modifications is as follows: Motor: -Original 5.3 Vortec -Replaced Oil Pan Gasket with Fel-Pro -New AC Delco 130 Amp Alternator -New Goodyear Gatorback Accessory Belt -New Replacement Factory Style Exhaust Manifolds with ARP Stainless Manifold Hardware and Fel-Pro manifold gaskets - Replaced water pump -K&N Cold Air Intake with Dry Charger pre-filter - Rear Main seal replaced during Transmission Rebuild - Throttle Body Spacer -MSD 8.5mm Plug Wires -New AC Delco Spark Plugs - Factory Camaro Dual Electric Fans with Hayden Cooling controller -New Ac Delco Fuel Pump -Custom Dual 2" Exhaust with Magnaflow high-flow catalytic converters - All 4 Oxygen Sensors replaced with new units Transmission: -Factory 4L60E with factory Tranny Cooler -Completely Rebuilt by LS Series Specialist Kris Keltner and KK Performance of Little Rock.

Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
2015 GMC Yukon erupts into flames during Anaheim test drive [w/video]
Mon, 24 Mar 2014A 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."
GM recall woes continue with 662,000 pickups trucks and Cruze sedans
Sat, 29 Mar 2014General Motors can't seem to get its name out of the "bad news" column. Two more recalls were announced late Friday evening that will see The General calling in 490,200 fullsize pickup trucks and SUVs, along with 172,000 Chevrolet Cruze models.
For those keeping track, General Motors has issued recalls for an alarming 4.8 million vehicles so far since last month.
The Chevy Silverado 1500, Tahoe and Suburban, GMC Sierra 1500 and Yukon models from the 2014 and 2015 model years are being recalled for a flaw in their transmissions wherein loose oil cooler lines may cause a fire. The automaker said in a statement (see below) that it knows of three incidents of loose transmission lines causing problems, but no injuries. We can't confirm whether it was this transmission issue that caused the widely publicized blaze that consumed a 2015 GMC Yukon that was being test driven in California.
