I have here a very nice GMC Typhoon from 1992. This is a dream car for me and I got it because I had the time and money for a project car. Due to life, I am short on time now. I hate to see it go, but a truck like this needs an owner that can give it the time it needs. Maybe down the road I'll get another one, but that's my problem for later. So my sacrifice is your gain.


So lets do the good vs bad. Since you probably already know what this thing is, you'll probably want to know the worst and why am I only letting it go for so little. Dont worry, its not that bad. Just a lot of cosmetic stuff which I don't have the room or time to tackle.



<-------- BAD -------->
  • Rust. There's a good bit of underbody rust on this thing. I think one of the previous owners parked it on tall grass and left it for a while.
  • Drivers fender needs to be replaced. Of all the rust, the drivers side front fender is the worst. I've removed the cladding due to it. I didn't want the cladding to fall off while going down the road. I'll make sure the cladding is in the truck when its sold.
  • There's some other rust spots that will need more than just a cover up at some point.
  • Rear passenger side cladding has a chip in it
  • passenger side cladding under the door will probably need to be replaced or taken to a shop to have it fixed. got a hole in it.
  • AC has a small leak in the hose, everything else works fine.
  • Air compressor for the rear suspension is currently not working. Seems to be an electrical issue, haven't tracked it down yet. But everything is there.
  • Oil gauge on the dash has spun around and is now stuck. Installed an aux oil pressure gauge in the a-pillar.
  • It has keyless entry, and I have the box, but atm it doesn't seem to work. I think the remote just needs batteries.
  • There's a vacuum leak somewhere. I've replaced several of the lines but haven't gotten to all of them yet. Its not that bad because the cruise control still works. the vent controls work. etc. But there is a leak according to my vacuum gauge. :P

<-------- GOOD -------->
  • Pulls damn hard. will chirp all 4 tires off the line. Will give you tunnel vision if its grips just right
  • Runs like a champ. Will hold any speed and at the drop of a dime can take off.
  • Tires in excellent shape. Rears only have a few thousand miles on them.
  • Spare has never been on the ground.
  • Has all original wheels. No chips. No scratches. Still shines.
  • Front and rear limited slips are in excellent shape (this thing will not let go of the road)
  • New shocks all around
  • New brakes
  • Upgraded some of the vacuum lines to steal braided.
  • No oil leaks. No leaks at all.
  • installed a transmission aux cooler coupled to the existing cooler with all new high flow braided lines. Thanks to RPM for that.
  • Shifts firm and will hold.
  • All of the cladding is there.
  • AC works if the leak is fixed. I replaced the compressor with a new one and recharged it with r134. It worked for about 2 weeks. Seems there is a small leak where the hose and the condenser meet. Might just need an O ring.
  • Cruise control works perfectly.
  • All the lights work.
  • Fog lights are bright as hell
  • Upgraded halogen head lights. (still sealed headlights, just got those super bright ones)
  • Vent controls work (aka that switch set that controls where the air goes which was a $350 part)
  • a pillar pod cluster with oil pressure, boost gauge, and AFR gauge.
  • new fuel pump
  • Interior looks brand new. All of the leather shines in the sun.
  • Center console hinge still works (anyone that knows these things knows this alone is more rare than the truck itself)
  • Upgraded JVC radio. Its a DVD unit that does everything. MP3 DVD's, movies, FM/AM radio, and I've installed an AUX cable. Its also SAT ready, just needs the antenna which can easily be found. And I've got the remote control for the unit as well.
  • Paints in good shape except for the few rust spots mentioned above.

I've also got a Typhoon CD that has all the manuals, books, etc on it that'll go with the truck.

I also have a data link cable for hooking it up to a computer that I'll throw in for an extra $25.



This is a project truck, I'm selling it as it and with the buyer understanding that it a project truck. When I got it barely anything worked and it died on me 3 times before I got it home. I've put some time into this thing and thought I'd be keeping it forever. But plans change. I've gotten almost all the small stuff fixed that was working and a few major issues, and was starting to work on the body when other things in my life got in the way. It still needs some TLC. The biggest issue with this truck is the body. It needs a few panels replaced and you might as well get the whole thing repainted again so it all matches up.


Oh and the phone mount in the pictures of the dash will not go with the vehicle. I'm keeping that. It's just a suction mount, don't worry it didn't leave any marks.


I'll help however I can with shipping. As in I can drive it to meet a tow truck or if you are close by we can work out me getting it to you. But you pay shipping/gas. Or come get it and drive it home. I'll pick you up at the air port/train station/bus station.


If you want any additional pictures or have any questions feel free to ask and I'll get back to you. If I think of anything else I'll add it in as well.

GM follows up Lambda CUV stop-sale with tire recall

Mon, Feb 9 2015

In late January, General Motors announced a stop-sale for about 6,281 examples of the 2015 Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave because of the possibility for the treads cracking on their 18-inch Goodyear Fortera HL tires. At the time, GM said that this would also eventually lead to a safety campaign to repair the problem, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has just published those details. GM's recall covers 5,876 of the three Lambda platform crossovers to replace their tires. According to NHTSA, if the treads crack, there could be a loss of pressure and possible failure. Goodyear already announced its own recall of the tires after internal testing found small tread cracks. The company did not believe this was safety issue, but the problem did put the rubber out of compliance with federal laws. The business's safety campaign covered an estimated 48,512 tires. Of those, around 32,000 were reportedly made for GM to either be fitted to vehicles or sold as replacements. The remainder went to the aftermarket. Goodyear's portion of the recall is expected to begin around February 20. RECALL Subject : Tire Tread Cracking/FMVSS 110 Report Receipt Date: JAN 28, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V044000 Component(s): TIRES Potential Number of Units Affected: 5,876 All Products Associated with this Recall Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) BUICK ENCLAVE 2015 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE 2015 GMC ACADIA 2015 Details Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2015 Buick Enclave vehicles manufactured December 9, 2014, to January 14, 2015, 2015 Chevrolet Traverse vehicles manufactured December 9, 2014, to January 20, 2015, and 2015 GMC Acadia vehicles manufactured December 9, 2014, to January 16, 2015, and all equipped with Goodyear P255/65R18 Fortera HL tires. These vehicles are equipped with tires that may experience tread cracking. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 110, "Tire Selection and Rims and Motor Home/Recreation Vehicle Trailer Load Carrying Capacity Information for Motor Vehicles with a GVWR of 4,536 kilograms (10,000 pounds) or Less." CONSEQUENCE: If the tire treads crack, a loss of tire pressure and possible tire failure may result, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the tires that were manufactured within a specific date range, free of charge.

GM 6.2L EcoTec V8 rated at 21 mpg by the EPA

Wed, 02 Oct 2013

General Motors is already laying claim to best-in-class power for its new 6.2-liter V8 that will be offered in the 2014 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra this fall, and now it has released fuel economy numbers for the big engine. Available as an option on the Silverado LTZ and High Country (shown above) models as well as the the Sierra SLT and Denali trims, the 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 will return 15 miles per gallon in the city and 21 mpg on the highway on rear-wheel-drive trucks; these numbers drop by one mpg each on four-wheel-drive models.
These estimates are in addition to the engine's 420 horsepower, 460 pound-feet of torque and max trailering capacity of 12,000 pounds, and considering all that power it's not terribly far away from the fuel economy of GM's equally new 4.3-liter V6 and its rating of 18 mpg city and 24 mpg highway. This announcement comes just days after a report indicated that GM is unable to keep up with the demand of the 5.3-liter V8 in the fullsize Chevy and GMC trucks due to supplier issues. GM's official press release for the 6.2-liter V8's fuel economy is posted below.

GM profit dips on truck changeover, but beats estimates

Thu, Apr 26 2018

DETROIT — General Motors on Thursday reported a higher-than-expected quarterly profit despite a drop in production of high-margin pickup trucks, as it gears up for new models that are expected to boost profits next year. Like rivals Ford and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, GM is banking on highly-profitable Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks to lift profits, as consumers shift away from traditional passenger cars in favor of these larger, more comfortable trucks, SUVs and crossovers. During the first quarter, the process of changing over to GM's new pickups resulted in a drop in production of 47,000 units. GM Chief Financial Officer Chuck Stevens said the production drop had resulted in a drop in pre-tax profit of up to $800 million. Earlier this year, GM said its 2018 profits would be flat compared with 2017, but expected its all-new pickup trucks would boost margins starting in 2019. On Thursday, GM reiterated its full-year 2018 forecast for adjusted earnings in a range from $6.30 to $6.60 per share. The automaker said capital expenditures were more than $500 million higher in the quarter because of investments its new pickup trucks and a family of low-cost vehicles under development with Chinese partner SAIC Motor Corp. On Wednesday, rival Ford said it would stop investing in most traditional passenger sedans in North America. CFO Stevens told reporters on Thursday that GM has "already indicated that we will make significantly lower investments on a go-forward basis" in sedans. 2019 GMC Sierra View 21 Photos GM benefited from a lower effective tax rate in the quarter, but adjusted pre-tax margin fell to 7.2 percent from 9.5 percent a year earlier. Stevens said the company's profit margin should hit 10 percent or higher in the second quarter and for the full year. GM said material costs were $700 million higher in the first quarter, and it expects those costs to continue rising. The automaker said it would counter those increases with cost cutting measures. "It is a more difficult environment than it was three or four months ago," Stevens said when asked about rising commodity prices from potential steel and aluminum tariffs announced by the Trump administration. "But we are confident we can continue to offset that." The company reported quarterly net income of $1.05 billion or $1.43 per share, a drop of nearly 60 percent from $2.61 billion or $1.75 per share a year earlier. Analysts had on average expected earnings per share of $1.24.
