1994 Gmc Suburban Diesel 4x4 on 2040-cars

Cisne, Illinois, United States

This is a heavy duty 3/4 ton, 8600# GVW suburban. I am the third owner.  I have put 118,000 miles on it.  The injection pump was completely overhauled at around 230,000 miles, and had new injectors installed this spring.  I have also installed a Heath Diesel PMD isolator kit, and Heath Diesel waste gate actuator.  The engine has normal oil leakage around oil pan gasket, and uses around a quart every 5000 miles.  The radiator was redone this summer as it had a crack in the inlet tank.  the cooling system has no leaks, but tends to show a low coolant light sometimes on the dash, but never gets hot. If you try to add more antifreeze thinking it is low it then becomes to full and just blows out the excess.  The check engine light will also come on if it is driven more than 75 mph for an extended distance.  The reason it does this, is because of the installation of the mechanical waste gate actuator, and I never have installed a Heath Diesel programmer to go with it.  The belts and hoses are in good shape, and has had a new fuel filter installed this spring when injectors were replaced.  It also has new engine oil cooler lines that were installed this spring as well.  Brand new alternator in the last 5000 miles.  Also has a K&N air filter.  The transmission shifts and works as it should with no hesitations. It had been rebuilt by the previous owner not long before I purchased the vehicle, it is a 4L80E heavy duty.  The 4x4 works excellent.  I have changed the actuator to the newer style that kicks in much faster than the original.  The axle ratio is 4.10.  Air conditioning works very well, the whole system was flushed, and new compressor, dryer, orifice tube and rear expansion valve was installed in September of 2013.  It has front and rear air with no rear heat.  As for the cosmetics of the vehicle, it looks about average for a vehicle with this age and mileage.  It has the normal door dings, scratches, and rock chips.  The worst place is on the hood where the clear coat is peeling off and a long scratch on the passenger side.  The interior has normal wear and a stains. It does have a small hole in the driver seat, and the rest of the seats are just fine.  There is a place about the size of your hand in the carpet in the rear cargo area where the previous owner had turned over a battery and leaked some acid, then got it on his hand and touched the upholstery on the side panel.  It looked like this when I bought it and hasn't gotten any worse.  The gages all work except for the trip meter.  It has an aftermarket CD/MP3 am/fm JVC stereo.  It has 235/85/R16 Firestone Transforce A/T load range E tires mounted on American Racing aluminum rims.  The tires are at around 30% tread.  The fuel tank is 42 gallon.  My wife used this as her run around vehicle/grocery getter and usually got around 15 MPG on average.  Still being driven, so mileage could be increased by time of sale.  We occasionally used this vehicle to pull our 6000# camper and it handles it like a champ.  Fuel mileage does decrease down to around 12 mpg when trailering.  The reason for getting rid of this vehicle is we upgraded to a 2005 GM diesel 4 door pickup last year and dont really need this one anymore.  I am listing this vehicle locally so reserve the right to end the auction at any time.  We are located in southern Illinois.  Please fell free to call me about any questions at 618-231-2589 or 618-854-2650.

GMC Hummer EV SUV first drive, RIP Camaro, Ferrari Roma Spider | Autoblog Podcast # 773

Fri, Mar 24 2023

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by News Editor Joel Stocksdale. They start off with one of the week's biggest official news items — the impending death of the sixth-gen Chevrolet Camaro. On the subject of powerful American cars, they pivot to a teaser from Stellantis execs that there are big things ahead for its Dodge Charger SRT Daytona Banshee concept. From there, they look at Ferrari's new topless Roma and then get into Ford's multi-billion-dollar electric vehicle pivot. Speaking of expensive EVs, Joel just got back from driving the new GMC Hummer SUV. He also had the new F-150 Lightning Pro in his driveway, and that's followed by Greg's update on Autoblog's long-term Toyota Sienna.  Autoblog Podcast # 773 Get The Podcast Apple Podcasts – Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast in iTunes Spotify – Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast on Spotify RSS – Add the Autoblog Podcast feed to your RSS aggregator MP3 – Download the MP3 directly Rundown News Chevrolet Camaro production will officially end after 2024 model year Dodge CEO teases more to come from Charger SRT Daytona Banshee Ferrari Roma Spider returns a front-engined soft top to the lineup Ford Model e losing billions as it says EV unit should be seen as startup What we're driving Ford F-150 Lightning Pro 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV 2023 Toyota Sienna Platinum AWD Feedback Email – Podcast@Autoblog.com Review the show on Apple Podcasts Autoblog is now live on your smart speakers and voice assistants with the audio Autoblog Daily Digest.

2016 GMC Terrain refresh revealed

Tue, Mar 31 2015

Posting its best-ever sales year in 2014, the GMC Terrain is hauling in sales, conquest buyers, and profits for the brand. GMC wants that to continue with its refresh for the 2016 model year, which sees the underlying formula left untouched under a raft of cosmetic and trim changes. There will be four trim levels: SL, SLE (SLE-1 and SLE-2), SLT, and Denali. They all get a front fascia with a lot more character, sculpted with chrome-outlined, C-shaped ornamentation, and all but the base SL version feature chrome accents on the grille. Flanking that, the headlights get new LED DRL signatures and the hood gets a power dome. The Denali gets new 19-inch alloys, models below it get new 18-inch wheel designs, and the sheetmetal color palette expands with the addition of White Frost Tricoat and Crimson Red Tintcoat. Beyond a revised center console, a mix of cabin offerings spice up the various trims. Premium cloth is the go-to for the SL and SLE, "Saddle Up" leather is an option on the SLT as well as an eight-way passenger seat, and a two-tone, dual-material Light Titanium and Jet Black interior is possible inside the Denali. Assistance features migrate down, with Side Blind Zone Alert and Rear Cross Traffic Alert available on the Terrain SLE and SLT for the first time. Engine choices remain the 182-horsepower Ecotec 2.4-liter inline-four, and the 272-hp 3.6-liter V6. The press release below has more details, and we'll have more on it live from the show floor. GMC Introduces 2016 Terrain New appearance, features build on success in growing compact SUV segment NEW YORK, March 31, 2015 – Distinguished by a new, more contemporary front-end appearance, the 2016 GMC Terrain and Terrain Denali were introduced today, ahead of their public debut at the New York International Auto Show. The 2016 Terrain lineup features new front and rear fascias, new grille designs, a power dome hood, light-emitting diode (LED) daytime running lamps and additional updates. Side Blind Zone Alert and Rear Cross Traffic Alert are offered on SLE and SLT models for the first time. "Terrain is a popular choice in the growing compact SUV segment, introducing drivers to GMC's professional grade design and features," said Duncan Aldred, vice president of GMC Sales and Marketing.

GM diesel pickups first to undergo extra EPA, CARB testing

Tue, Sep 29 2015

The effects of Volkswagen's long-running diesel emissions evasion are starting to spill over to other automakers, but General Motors is taking things in stride. The 2.8-liter, four-cylinder Duramax in the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon is the first engine to get extra scrutiny by the Environmental Protection Agency and the California Air Resources Board, Automotive News reports. Rather than just the usual in-lab test, it's also being checked on the road. However, the extra evaluation shouldn't have any impact on when the trucks with his mill hit dealers later this fall. "We're in our final stages of the EPA certification, and our launch is on track," Chevy spokesperson Otie McKinley tells Autoblog. The four-cylinder diesel in the trucks makes 181 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, and the automaker is touting low NOx production. In the announcement for the Colorado's specs, the company calls it "the cleanest diesel truck engine ever produced by General Motors." The tech includes exhaust gas recirculation to lower combustion temperatures and improve emissions. There's also a urea tank like on the bigger diesels for full-size trucks, and it gets refilled in time with oil changes. An indication on the instrument panel lets drivers know when that's needed, too. Even with the more demanding testing, the company doesn't seem too worried about the four-cylinder passing. "Part of our development process is on-road and off-road [laboratory] testing," Scott Yackley, Chevy Trucks assistant chief engineer, said to Automotive News. In the wake of the VW scandal, the EPA has pledged more rigorous testing. Before, on-road emissions evaluations were largely limited to heavy-duty vehicles, but the agency has decided to apply the checks more often to other models. There's also now greater cooperation with Canadian authorities.
