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.

2024 GMC Hummer EV 3X Pickup gets a range boost

Thu, Jul 13 2023

The 2024 GMC Hummer EV 3X Pickup is getting an update for more range in the new model year. Instead of 355 miles, the new long-range version of the 3X Pickup will go 381 miles. Note that you need to option the 24-module battery pack to get this range figure. However, if you go for the standard 20-module battery pack, GMC says range is improved for 2024, as well. The GM-estimated figure goes from 329 miles for 2023, all the way up to 359 miles for 2024. You should also note that acceleration times are different depending on battery pack, too, as the longer-range model does 0-60 mph in 3.0 seconds versus the 3.5 seconds of the standard range version. The other big choice you’ll need to make is whether or not you tack on the “Extreme Off-Road Package.” This adds 18-inch wheels wrapped by 35-inch mud-terrain tires, four addiitonal underbody camera views for a total of 18, front e-locker with rear virtual locking differentials, heavy-duty ball-spline half-shafts along with more skid plates and underbody shielding. WeÂ’ll also note that range suffers as a result of this equipment. GM only provides the range figure for the upgrade 24-module pack, and it goes down from 381 miles to 359 miles. GMC says the 2024 Hummer 3X Pickup will go on sale to reservation holders this fall and start at $106,945, including the destination charge. Related video:

GM's fullsize SUVs boost highway mileage by nearly 10 percent

Wed, 26 Feb 2014

We met the redesigned 2015 versions of the Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe, and the GMC Yukon and Yukon XL at the 2013 LA Auto Show. Improved gas mileage numbers have been announced to go along with the improved exteriors and interiors, with city mileage improving by seven percent and highway mileage going up by nearly ten percent; you'll now get 16 miles per gallon in the city and 23 on the highway.
The only applies to models with the 5.3-liter engine, though, not the premium Yukon Denali and Yukon XL Denali SUVs with the 6.2-liter motor. Still, the 5.3 gets you more power than previously, with 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque underfoot, on top of the improved fuel economy numbers. The 6.2-liter sticks with official mpg ratings of 15 highway, 21 city. There's a brief press release below with words straight from the horse's mouth.
