Up for auction is my 1966 GMC Suburban.  It has a three speed column shift transmission  I haven't been able to check 

the engine with the VIN numbers but believe to be the original engine.  I've found the engine is the later version 305E.  
The design was for a strong torque engine with less speed ( 58 - 60 mph max ).  The engine runs very well and starts every 
time.  Will need to have a complete tune-up which I haven't been able to get around to.  It has no power steering, power 
brakes.  The brakes will also need to be gone through as it looses some fluid over time.  It doesn't seem to have any engine 
leaks that I can find.

Body :
There is one grape-fruit size dent on Lh quarter panel just in front of the rear bumper as shown in picture and has some of 
the usual rust problems lower fenders behind wheel on both sides.  Also rust in front of the rear wheels both sides lower 
quarter panels.  As shown in some of the pictures the hood also has rust issues around the seams and will need to be repaired 
soon. Also rust / pitting at lower, center area on both sides of rear window.  It seems a previous owner had it sanded and 
primed in gray but never got around to applying the top coat.  The front grill is getting pretty rusty particularly around the 
headlights.  The rocker panels on both sides will need to be replaced. Shocks need to be replaced.

Interior :
The condition is really excellent when compared to many suburbans of this era.  Metal work is straight, clean and rust free.  
The instrument panel has not been cut or chopped up.  The seats were upholstered sometime in the resent past and are nice. 
Passenger window operates while the driver window is difficult to roll down or up.  No issues opening / closing the doors and 
vent windows operate.  The heater does not work and looks to have had an after-market AC unit installed however the condenser 
has been removed with many other parts to the system.   Side windows both have the locking clips.  The floor is really solid.  
The gas gauge does not work and I believe the temperature gauge also does not work.  The speedometer works but kind of 
"jumpy" also has some noise probably from the cable being worn out.  Purchased period correct GMC AM radio.

Exterior :
Wipers barely work and will need to be repaired.  Lights work with the exception of the turn signal switch in the steering column 
and believe the cam needs to be replaced.  Will need all weather strips replaced.  Tires are pretty old. 

I've driven it on short trips, maybe 6 mile diameter around my property.  I wouldn't trust the brakes to go much further from my 
house.  Does have clear title.  This vehicle does not have any type of warranty.  Does not include spare tire.  Crack in windshield 
on driver side but does not impare vision.

This suburban is always a crowd favorite and gets a lot of attention any time I take it on the road.  It will make an excellent 
beginner to a complete, frame off restoration or for a relatively basic refurbishment.  Things have changed for me and won't have 
an opportunity to spend much time on it and have decided to sell to someone that will enjoy bringing " GUS " back to his former 
glory.

I can possibly help with loading the suburban but transportation / shipping is the responsibility of the buyer.

Daily Driver: 2015 GMC Canyon

Mon, May 4 2015

Daily Driver videos are micro-reviews of vehicles in the Autoblog press fleet, featuring impressions from the staffers that drive them every day. Today's Daily Driver features the 2015 GMC Canyon, reviewed by Seyth Miersma. You can watch the video above or read a transcript below. Watch more Autoblog videos at /videos. VIDEO TRANSCRIPT [00:00:00] Hey, guys. This is Seyth with Autoblog, and I'm here in the 2015 GMC Canyon pickup truck. The version I'm in is about as bare bones as this truck gets. We've got a convenience group package, which means I have things like a remote lock and unlock. I've got a spray-in bed liner and then I've got the very tiny but still useful infotainment system, which allows for things like hooking up your phone, [00:00:30] Bluetooth streaming music from my iPhone to the sound system, things of that nature. Really there's not a whole lot here. What you see is what you get. The interior is pretty basic. We've got gray plastic. We've got black plastic. We've got these gray cloth seats which I actually kind of dig. They've got a cool shape. It's comfortable in terms of the interior but it's certainly not fancy at all. You go back and look into the segment and you look at offerings from Nissan and Toyota and you'll see that this really feels pretty [00:01:00] plush certainly compared to their base level trucks. We've got the 2.5-liter 4-cylinder in it. Still makes 200 horsepower and 191 pound feet of torque. It doesn't feel completely slow but I'll admit that some of that has to do with the fact that I have a six-speed to play around with. I'm revving it up a little bit higher than you normally would with a pickup truck. It's not fast. It doesn't mean that it's not a little bit fun to drive. [00:01:30] We've come so far in terms of overall ride quality, noise vibration and harshness and things of that nature in all pickup trucks that it's frankly surprising to see something at the very bottom end in terms of price of the market be as good as this is. I think that you're going to get a lot of people who are into the truck lifestyle who like the look. You're going to get a lot of people who are moving down from bigger trucks that still want to have a little bit of capability. Then with things with a truck of this nature where you're talking about a [00:02:00] sub-$25,000 price point, you're just going to get a lot of people who want a vehicle of any kind, kind of a budget vehicle.

Supercharged 2015 GMC Yukon Denali sounds evil, runs 0-60 in 4.5 seconds

Sun, Dec 7 2014

Speeding along in a sports car is undoubtedly a ton of fun, but some owners need the ability to carry a lot of people and their stuff and don't want to sacrifice the ability to put the power down. The tuners over at Hennessey have that demographic covered with their growling, supercharged power kits for the GMC Yukon Denali. The upgrades come in three forms for the SUV's 6.2-liter V8: HPE550 with 557 horsepower, HPE600 with 605 hp and HPE650 with 665 hp. This video showcases the full-bore version, and this Denali can definitely hustle in a straight line. The power bump comes courtesy of a 2.9-liter supercharger, intercooler and high-flow cylinder heads to add over 200 horsepower compared to stock, and the final result is a bellowing SUV that rears up off he line to throw the driver back into the seat. The sprint to 60 miles per hour lasts just 4.5 seconds. Check out this hasty hauler in action in the video above.

GM faces possible class action lawsuit over 8-speed transmission

Thu, Apr 25 2019

General Motors has been hit with a class-action lawsuit from owners who allege the eight-speed automatic transmission found in several rear-wheel-drive Chevrolet, Cadillac and GMC models between the 2015 and 2019 model years has a defect that causes the vehicles to hesitate and jerk when accelerating or slowing down. The lawsuit was posted to ClassAction.org and spotted by GM Authority. Problems with GM's Hydra-Matic 8L90 and 8L45 transmissions have been well-documented on Internet forums and via complaints filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, with many reporting damage to their vehicles. The lawsuit was first filed in December in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida but appears to have been transferred recently to New York. Autoblog sought comment from Theodore Leopold, the lead attorney for the plaintiffs. "These transmissions have a common defect," the complaint reads. "Drivers attempting to accelerate or decelerate their cars feel a hesitation, followed by a significant shake, shudder, jerk, clunk, or 'hard shift' when the vehicle's automatic transmission changes gears." The problem also occurs when the vehicles accelerate in a single gear, without shifting, the plaintiffs allege. "Drivers have reported that the shift is sometimes so violent, they feel as though they have been hit by another vehicle." The problem is believed to center on the transmission, torque converter or both. The complaint says it causes undue friction, causing hydraulic systems and gears to function improperly and sometimes leaves metal shavings throughout the transmission, leading to costly repairs and replacement of parts or the entire transmission. It says GM has known about the problems since shortly after it introduced the transmissions, and has issued 13 technical service bulletins, none of which have resolved the problem. GM declined to comment on the lawsuit. The plaintiffs say GM should have warned consumers about the issues and covered repairs under each vehicle's three-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty. They're seeking statewide classes in at least six states: California, Florida, Illinois, New York, Oklahoma and Texas.
