1994 Gmc Suburban Diesel 4x4 on 2040-cars

Year:1994 Mileage:317696
Location:

Cisne, Illinois, United States

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.

2015 Sierra All Terrain HD looks ready to hit heavy-duty trails

Thu, 22 May 2014

GMC 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.

2015 GMC Yukon and Yukon XL hit the floor at LA

Thu, 21 Nov 2013

The middle child of General Motors' trio of truck-based SUVs, the GMC Yukon and long-wheelbase Yukon XL, received their auto show debut at today's 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show. Showing off a bigger, bolder look, particularly on its Denali trim, the Yukon sports prominent chrome grille instantly identifies GMC's new top-end SUV.
The Yukon is will come to market with a pair of engines. The base 5.3-liter V8 pumps out 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, while the higher-end models benefit from the same direct-injected, 6.2-liter V8 as the Escalade. That engine makes 420 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, with fuel economy seeing a likely boost thanks to an active fuel management system. Like the Tahoe, Suburban and Escalade, the Yukon takes advantage of a six-speed, column-mounted automatic transmission.
The cabin has seen significant upgrades in terms of materials and technology, with an eight-inch touchscreen display and IntelliLink standard in both Yukon and Yukon Denali. Fold-flat second and third-row seats come standard, while a power option is available, as well. Other techy features include active noise cancellation and standard Bose stereos.

GMC could have used Jeep's prized grille design on its born-again Hummer

Fri, Jan 31 2020

General Motors confirmed it's bringing the Hummer nameplate back on an electric, GMC-badged pickup by publishing a dark photo of its front end. The battery-powered drivetrain under the sheetmetal represents a tectonic shift, but we noticed another flagrant break with tradition: it wears six slot-like inserts instead of seven like on every previous Hummer and countless Jeeps. Adding an extra slot wouldn't have landed GMC in hot water. The seven-slot grille has historically been associated with Jeep, and the company proved it's willing to go to significant lengths to ensure another automaker — especially one it perceives as a rival — doesn't use it. Parent company Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) bitterly sued Mahindra over the Roxor's design, including its five-slot grille, and won in 2019, forcing the Indian firm to unveil a redesigned side-by-side for the 2020 model year. And yet, stylists would have very likely been able to get away with it on the Hummer. While General Motors owns Hummer, the brand traces its ancestry to 1970, when American Motors Corporation (AMC) purchased Jeep from Kaiser and changed the name of its General Products Division to AM General Corp. The division manufactured the rear-wheel drive, CJ-based DJ for the United States Postal Service and began developing the Humvee in 1979. Jeep and AM General went their separate ways when Renault began investing in AMC. Foreign companies weren't allowed to own defense contractors, and AMC had more to gain by gradually selling out to Renault than by keeping AM General, so it divested the division to LTV Corporation in 1983. Humvee production started shortly after, but no one protested its seven-slot grille because there was no risk of it stealing sales from a comparable Jeep model. It was manufactured exclusively for the U.S. Army, and civilian sales weren't planned. H2SUV View 4 Photos The original civilian Hummer released in 1992 must have raised more than a few eyebrows but, here again, it didn't directly compete with one of Jeep's off-roaders, so no one complained. It was huge, correspondingly expensive, and its portal axles made the YJ-generation Wrangler wet its pants. It's the H2 concept (pictured above) unveiled at the 2000 Detroit Auto Show that set off alarm bells in Auburn Hills. DaimlerChrysler's lawyers counted the slots in the chrome-plated insert that dominated its front end and shuddered when they reached seven.
