1986 Gmc K1500 4x4 Suburban With Lift on 2040-cars
Fredericksburg, Texas, United States
I bought this suburban in 2010, after having watched it sit idle in an apartment complex parking lot for 2 years. It has that classic 80's look that is so hard to find, especially in this shape. The young fella I bought it off of had pulled it out of a hayfield, where it had sat with blown heads for awhile already. He did a lot to get it back on the road including rebuilding those heads, installing the current lift and putting 33's on it.
Since I acquired it, I've had a rebuilt motor from a '93 put in it. IMO it needs a better rebuild; lifters tap a bit still. Initially it had a lot of blow by from the rebreather and still has a leak at the harmonic balancer. We put a 4 core full brass radiator in it. It has an Edelbrock carburetor and intake manifold. K&N filter. In the past year I've also had a new transmission installed. IMO the install is a little rough. I'm by no means a mechanic, more accurately a "diagnostician". I don't have much "how to fix it" knowledge, let alone tools, space and time to do it. I had hoped to park it, strip it and rebuild it at my leisure but because of issues with another vehicle, we put it on the road as a daily driver. It gets about 10mpg as it is now. Cold starts great. The differential has a new seal, fluid and the gears looked great. Transfer case runs perfect and shifts in and out easily. The front axel has self locking hubs. Dash cluster is completely shot. The lights work but none of the gauges, I'm pretty sure the copper circuit pad is too damaged and needs to be replaced. I haven't put the dash back together but still have the dash and the plastic cluster pieces. The steering column has been rebuilt as well. The doors need to be adjusted and re shimmed. 2 of the windows are cracked but not broken due to being hit by flying rocks from a weed whacker. All of the rubber door seals need to be replaced as well. Full front bench seat. Full middle seat and it still has the seat for the 3rd row. I have a spare tire for it. The vehicle has minimal rust. There is some on the right rear quarter panel (rusted behind the chrome trim, which has been removed) and a spot on a kick plate has a hole. The rust has come about from sitting in that hayfield in the Texas rain and doesn't appear to be major except maybe the hole. IMO could be fixed easily. There is no "road rust" like you would find in cars from up north, like in the wheel wells or undercarriage. In all honesty, it's in great shape body wise. It has the rear tailgate with the electric rear window. All of the windows, locks, etc are electric. The title is free and clear and in my possession. To the best of my knowledge the odometer has rolled and an accurate mileage cannot be given. There is approximately 25k miles since the rebuilt motor was installed and approximately 10k on the transmission. The right person can take this awesome suburban with really good bones and finish what I started. I would love to keep it but I am going from the Texas hill country to the dfw metroplex and that has forced me to make a hard choice. It's impractical for me to drive it in such a large city and I have nowhere to store it. So it's time to let someone else enjoy it and I'm absolutely certain that you will enjoy it. *please read carefully the following information* - As stated above, I am relocating. I need the transaction dealt with quickly, as outlined in the listing and the vehicle picked up ASAP. Delivery MAY be possible if you are within a reasonable distance and for an additional fee. - I have done my best to represent the condition of the vehicle as best I can but IT IS USED. It is sold AS IS. Please read carefully. Please ask questions. More pictures are available if requested. |

GM posts $4 billion third-quarter profit thanks to trucks and SUVs
Thu, Nov 5 2020DETROIT — General Motors is posting huge third quarter numbers, pulling in $4 billion in profit over three months after losing money due to the virus outbreak. GM's adjusted earnings were $2.83 per share, easily outpacing Wall Street's per-share projections of $1.43, according to a survey by FactSet. Revenue of $35.5 billion also edged out most expectations. Shares jumped almost 6% before the opening bell Thursday. The company swung back from a $806 million loss in the second quarter, when it was restarting factories shuttered for safety during the early stages of the pandemic. The Detroit automaker joined most global automakers in reporting better-than-expected earnings from July through September as sales across the globe started to rebound from coronavirus lockdowns, especially in China. GM sales in China jumped 12% in the third quarter, with sales of its Buick and Cadillac brands both rising more than 25%. In the U.S., GMÂ’s most profitable market, sales fell 9.9% in the third quarter compared with a year ago, but were a dramatic improvement over the 34% drop in the second quarter. Sales improved sequentially each month, the automaker said, an encouraging trend. GMÂ’s profit was boosted by higher-priced pickup trucks and large SUVs, which have seen strong sales in the U.S. through the pandemic. It was the best quarter on record for GM's Chevrolet Blazer. Sales of the Cadillac XT6 spiked 45% in the U.S. over last year. Large pickups also sold well. GM also said it was pumping $2 billion into its Spring Hill, Tennessee manufacturing plant to push its transition to produce electric vehicles. Last week, crosstown rivals Fiat Chrysler and Ford reported strong third-quarter net income. FCA said it made $1.4 billion for the period, while Ford earned $2.39 billion.

2017 GMC Sierra 2500HD All Terrain X eyes Ram Power Wagon
Mon, Oct 10 2016If where you're going, you don't need roads, you're spoiled for choice by American automakers. Ford has the F-150 Raptor, Jeep the iconic Wrangler, and Ram offers Power Wagon. And that's just the tip of the factory off-road iceberg. General Motors is getting in on the off-roading action with the Canyon and Sierra 1500 All Terrain X. Now, the automaker is adding another notch on its belt with the Sierra 2500HD All Terrain X. On the outside, GMC continues to the all-black trend as the rest of its off-roading-oriented lineup, which includes 18-inch aluminum wheels finished in black, a bespoke grille surround, black sport bar that's mounted in the truck's bed, and four-inch side steps in black. The All Terrain X will only be offered in two colors – Black Onyx and Summer White. Those looking for more off-roading capabilities and tack the Z71 off-road suspension package as an option on the All Terrain X, adding performance Rancho shocks, Hill Descent Control, and a shield for the underbody transfer case. Two engine choices lie under this crew cab pickup's massive hood - the 6.0-liter gas V8 or the all-new Duramax 6.6-liter turbo-diesel V8. The gasoline-powered V8 continues to make 360 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque, while the new Duramax turbo-diesel generates 445 horsepower and 910 pound-feet of torque. While the All Terrain X may not have the same murderous look as the Ram Power Wagon, it makes off-roading a luxurious affair. And it's blacked out. The 2500HD power wagon will be on sale early next year, with a pricing announcement coming sometime in the next few months.

2021 GMC Yukon will pull a 180 thanks to a Hurricane Turn feature
Fri, Jan 17 2020GMC isn't a hip, young startup, but its engineers are out to prove it's possible to teach an old dog new tricks. The next-generation Yukon will offer adventurers seeking a quick turn-around a "Hurricane Turn" feature that functions a lot like Rivian's Tank Turn technology. The two systems use different hardware to perform a similar action. We didn't hear anything about the Hurricane Turn feature during the Yukon's unveiling because GMC planned to keep it under wraps until later, but an eagle-eyed report at Motor Trend uncovered it and quizzed the firm. It's real, and it's engaged when the driver switches the stability control system off, energetically turns the steering wheel in either direction, and mashes the accelerator pedal to the floor. The Yukon needs to be on a loose surface, too. If you're turning right, the on-board computer applies braking power to the passenger-side wheels to prevent them from spinning, while the engine continues to turn the driver-side wheels to rotate the Yukon on its own axis. The exact opposite happens if you're turning left. It's clever and relatively simple; there's no extra hardware required to enable the feature, though it shows the next Yukon is far more advanced than its predecessor. It goes without saying that only four-wheel drive models will receive the Hurricane Turn feature. There's no word yet on whether it will be compatible with all three engine options, or if it will be limited to a certain trim level. GMC will publish additional details about the system, and hopefully a video of it in action, in the coming months. Rivian, on the other hand, leveraged its four-motor electric powertrain to teach the R1T (and presumably the R1S) how to pull a 180. The right wheels turn in the opposite directions as the left wheels – hence the name Tank Turn – to spin the truck around like a CD in a Walkman. Its system doesn't use the brakes. The 2021 Yukon is due in showrooms in the summer of 2020, and Amazon-funded Rivian won't start making the R1S until the end of 2020 at the earliest, so GMC will beat its younger rival to the punch. What remains to be seen is how often motorists use either function. We're betting not very once the initial novelty wears off. Related Video:  Â
