Gmc Sierra C1500 Silverado Sport Truck Lowered New Motor Harley Trades Welcome on 2040-cars
United States
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. |

2017 GMC Canyon finally goes Denali
Tue, Nov 17 2015You knew this was coming and perhaps you've been waiting for it: the GMC Canyon dressed up in Denali trim. Even though we're getting to see it before its reveal at the LA Auto Show, you'll have to wait roughly one more year to take delivery since it doesn't go on sale until "late 2016." You can spec the trim on the crew cab models with either the 3.6-liter gasoline V6 or the 2.8-liter diesel engine. You know the formula, and it works well on the Canyon. There's a chrome grille, chrome trim around the foglights, chrome side steps, one polished exhaust tip, a spray-in bedliner, and 20-inch ultra-bright wheels. You can get the rest of the truck done up in one of six colors, two fewer than are available for non-Denali trims. The inside comes in Jet Black only, with heated and ventilated front seats, Denali badging, and a unique instrument panel. Check out the press release below for more info, we'll have live images from LA soon. GMC Introduces 2017 Canyon Denali Exclusive design cues, content elevate industry's first premium midsize truck DETROIT, Tuesday, Nov. 17, 2015 – Denali is the ultimate expression of GMC's professional grade style, luxury and capability – and it is coming to the Canyon midsize truck. The 2017 Canyon Denali is being introduced today, ahead of its public debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show. It goes on sale in late 2016. "Canyon is the segment's first and only premium midsize truck, offering unparalleled capability and efficiency matched with maneuverability and refinement," said Duncan Aldred, vice president of GMC Sales and Marketing. "The all-new Canyon Denali builds on that award-winning combination with the distinctive styling, luxurious interior and elevated content that has defined the Denali nameplate since its introduction nearly 17 years ago." Like all Denali models, the new Canyon Denali is distinguished with a unique chrome grille and unique wheels – 20-inch ultra-bright-machined aluminum wheels with painted accents. Exterior cues include chrome fog lamp bezels, five-inch-diameter rectangular chrome assist steps, a polished exhaust tip and a standard spray-in bed liner. The Canyon Denali will be offered in six exterior colors. Inside, a Jet Black interior features Mulan leather-appointed seats with perforated, heated-and-ventilated front seats – exclusive content in the Canyon lineup – along with unique instrument panel and console trim; and Denali-logo sill plates and floor mats.
United States drivers buying fewer Mexican-made cars
Tue, May 10 2016Crossovers and pickup trucks are not only growing in market share, they're also more profitable than cars. A crossover on the same platform as a sedan retails for thousands more, despite similar components. It's one of the reasons we've seen automakers rapidly shifting production of their sedans and hatchbacks to Mexico, where cheap labor preserves the thin profit margins on these inexpensive vehicles. But as the market continues to shift in the United States, Mexico is getting burned by its lack of product diversity. The country's auto exports, which are heavy on cars, suffered a 16-percent drop last month, Automotive News reports. In total, year-over-year exports fell from 233,515 to 197,020 last month, while year-to-date exports are down by 7.4 percent, from 922,029 to 854,118. The number one culprit? America – which usually accounts for 75 percent of Mexico's exports – and its appetite for crossovers and pickup trucks bolstered by cheap gas prices. While Mexico does build some light truck models – AN specifically calls out the Ram 2500, Honda HR-V, GMC Sierra, and Toyota Tacoma as export leaders – the vast majority of vehicles rolling out of its factories are sedans and hatchbacks. In fact, the three biggest drops in Mexican exports came from companies whose south of the border factories only build cars – Ford (Fusion/Lincoln MKZ and Fiesta), Mazda (Mazda3), and Volkswagen (Golf and Jetta). Mexican Automotive Industry Association President Eduardo Solis told AN the export shortfall will likely be sorted out sooner rather than later, thanks to a pair of new factories – a Kia car factory and an Audi SUV plant – that are coming online by year's end. The two facilities will add around 100,000 vehicles to the country's export totals, which Solis said should leave the industry on the verge of breaking another export record in 2016. But how sustainable will these record-breaking years be? Slapping an "Hecho en Mexico" sticker on a new German SUV won't be enough to change the fact that Mexico's product mix is tilted too heavily towards body styles that are not growing in volume. Mexico's record-breaking export years probably aren't at an end, but we'd argue they're certainly under threat.

2015 Sierra All Terrain HD looks ready to hit heavy-duty trails
Thu, 22 May 2014GMC is getting its heavy-duty trucks ready for the mud this summer with its All Terrain package for the Sierra 2500HD and 3500HD. Meant to blend style, tech and ruggedness, the pack includes a lot of extra chrome outside and an off-road package underneath.
The 2015 Sierra All Terrain HD trucks naturally come standard with four-wheel drive with an electronically controlled transfer case to handle things in the dirt. The Z71 off-road package is also standard, which includes Rancho twin-tube shocks, hill descent control and a skid plate. To add some style when off the beaten path, the pack includes chrome trim on the mirror caps, lower bumper and grille surround, plus LEDs around the headlights and 18-inch wheels (20-inchers are optional on the 2500HD). The 3500HD also gets chrome, adjustable outside camper mirrors. The interior receives a technology upgrade thanks to the standard rearview camera and IntelliLink infotainment that can act as a Wi-Fi hotspot through OnStar 4G LTE, read text messages and includes Siri Eyes Free for iPhone users.
The All Terrain package goes on sale on both trucks this summer and is offered on either the SLE or SLT trim levels in double cab and crew cab models. The standard engine is the 6.0-liter V8 with 360 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque, but the Duramax 6.6-liter, diesel V8 with 397 hp and 765 lb-ft is also available. The gas engine is mated to a Hydra-matic six-speed automatic, and the diesel uses an Allison six-speed automatic. Scroll down to read the full announcement about these heavy-duty off-roaders.
