This is a 1993 GMC Typhoon with aprox 88,500 original miles.  The truck is now painted black but was a apple red with silver cladding.  The cladding is missing but now has wheel well moldings on it.  The wheels are 20 inch after market with tire in very good condition.  They don't seem to be very old at all.  The engine is a 4.3 turbo charged with a water to air intercooler system that came from the factory.  The truck does need a few things.  The truck runs and drives very good and hold good oil pressure around 40-60 pounds.  The front seats do have cracks in them and the passanger bottom thread is missing along the seem.  The center console used some work, I believe one hinge is broken.  The steering wheel is a aftermarket grant with a horn button located under the dash.  The stereo is a cd player that made by alpine.  There are some gauges inside the truck.  The water temp on the pillar is hooked up and the one of the dash is not.  I have the sending unit and is easy to switch it back.  The oil pressure works on the dash and not the pillar gauge.  The carpet behind the front driver seat needs some work and there is a picture posted.  The back seat seems to be in really good condition.  The power windows and door looks work great.  The windows are all tinted including the windshield but the tint on the front to windows need redone.   Now to the drivetrain.  The engine does have some small oil leaks and what not and I notice the drive side valve cover is the worse of them which is  very common for these 4.3 engines.  The factory boost controller is current in need of being replaced and is by passed so the truck will only make about 8 pounds of boost right now.  I had a manual one from another project on it and the turbo will spool up to the factory boost of around 14 with no problems.  The factory control is a electronic unit.   The transmission shifts great and a shift kit as be install.  Nice firm quick shifts with no slipping.  When it cold it is a little hard from 1st to 2nd but this is a normal condition for these trucks.  The truck is lower a little more than factory but I had is aligned last week with no problems and od have the paperwork showing so.  The front brakes and new pads, calipers, and hoses on both sides.  Just passed Delaware inspection for everything but the window tint which we are not along to have here in this state and have the paper working show this as well.  Delaware does have emissions and it passed on that as well.  The body is pretty good but the drivers door does need door pins.  There is a little rust at the bottom of both front doors and the tailgate.  The cab itself is rust free in, out and under.  The hood is a 2.5 inch aftermarket cowl with a finished under side.  All the lights work on the truck as well.  Every once in a while the anti lock brake like with come on, probably needs a wheel speed sensor.  The is a small dent in tailgate buy the typhoon logo on the tailgate.  The roll pan paint is a flat black and does not match the rest of the truck very well.  Kind of goes with the front bumper finish.  I bought this truck a few weeks ago but have released I don't have time for all the projects I have or I would not be selling this.  This is a very fun truck to drive.  If you have any questions or would like to see this truck please contact me on my cell 302 632 7341, chris.  I will ship this truck but the buying will be resopncible for paying for this and setting up and shipper.  Truck currently has a Maryland title that is clear and clean.  The title shows 54,555 miles on 12/13/07.  I have tried ot state everything I know but there may be something I missed and please understand this a 1993 truck and is 20 years old.  These are very rare and if was restored to it orginal color there were only 101 in the color available in 1993.  There was less than 5000 ever made. 

***Just noticed on the vechile report that his truck has 100,000 more than I thought.  The auto check shows that when is went from 145,000 to 147,000 they forgot the add the 1 in front of 47.  With that in mind I thought the truck has 88,500 but it really has 188,500.******

***I have been informed by to ebay members that this is not a real typhoon but is a clone.  This is don't know for sure but seems to be the case, you are buying with this being a very good possiblility.!!!!!*****

GMC reveals updated 2016 Sierra

Wed, Jul 15 2015

It was just the other day that Chevy revealed the face of the new 2016 Silverado. And as might have been expected, sister brand GMC has followed up by unveiling its version in the facelifted 2016 Sierra pickup – just two and a half years since the current all-new model was rolled out. Though details released thus far remain few and far between, GMC has revealed more images of the new Sierra – in SLT, Denali and All Terrain trim levels – than Chevy did of the updated Silverado. It's got new headlights, fog lamps, and C-shaped daytime running lights and taillights, all using LED elements. It's arguably a more muscular look than the Chevy version, and with more chrome than the toned-down Silverado. That is, at least, in SLT and Denali trims. The All Terrain version looks more in line with the similarly off-road-focused Silverado Z71 and its color-keyed treatment. The changes ought to help GMC keep up the momentum that has seen its sales rise year-over-year every month over the past twelve. The interior shots indicate that the new Sierra will incorporate Apple CarPlay like GM is installing in so many models across its various brand ranges. But we'll have to wait a little while longer for all the details. Related Video: 2016 GMC Sierra Unveiled 2015-07-15 DETROIT -- GMC's best-selling truck has great momentum coming off its best June since 2006 and 12 consecutive months of year-over-year sales gains. With exterior styling as its top reason for purchase, the new truck adds key design elements: LED "C-shaped" signature daytime running lights and LED headlights; new front fascia and grilles for each trim level; new LED fog lamps; new bumpers; and new "C-shaped" LED taillights. The new Sierra will be available in the fourth quarter of this year, with additional details and information on the new model released in the coming months.

The electric Hummer gets a new logo

Sat, Apr 11 2020

GM submitted three trademark applications to government offices here and in Canada, as discovered by GM Authority. Two applications went to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the Canadian Intellectual Property Office on February 4 this year, seeking to reserve the new Hummer logo, at the top in the image above. Note, the two logos aren't to scale; they're about the same size all things being equal, but we shrunk the old mark. GM sent a second application to the USPTO on February 7 requesting the brand name "Hummer" for application to "motor land vehicles, namely, automobiles, trucks and sport utility vehicles; bicycles." True, we've seen the new Hummer script stretched across the front of the coming electric pickup in a teaser clip, but the paperwork continues the process of getting the entire continent ready for the alternate universe resurrection of one of America's most notorious brands.     In 2010, gas prices were in orbit, GM committed to closing the Hummer brand, vandals were setting fire to the scattered Hummers left on dealer lots, the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 made 638 horsepower, the eco-minded revered the Toyota Prius and the Tesla Model S was still two years away. In that year, it would have been hard to say something more bonkers than, "Hummer's coming back in ten years as an electric pickup, its top trim making 1,000 horsepower and 11,500 pound-feet of torque." But here we are. The new logo's squareness connects it to the resolute bluntness of the old mark, yet the thinner font and chopped corners both modernize the old logo and lessen its truculence. The brand appears headed the same way, with lurid specs and square-jawed looks just like old times, but having in LeBron James a more modern take on the hardcore male vibe than it once got from (unpaid) association with guys like Arnold Schwarzenegger. To be fair, old Hummer commercials always featured women in the driver's seat, or men and young boys dreaming of big adventures, or Regis Philbin chatting up models, but the marketing department couldn't — or didn't want to — outrun the lineup's reputation on the street. We'll see how the electric version and its “incredible on- and off-road capability" fare. According to the teaser site, the new Hummer's debut is still on track for May 20. If the brand manages to recreate the old H3T pickup but with an electric powertrain, it's got one buyer right here lined up already. Related Video:

2023 J.D. Power APEAL Study shows new-car customer satisfaction scores slip

Thu, Jul 20 2023

J.D. Power survey results have been slightly up but mostly down for automakers this year, literally. In February, the 2023 Vehicle Dependability Study showed an overall decline compared the 2022 a month before the Customer Service Index Study did the same. The trend reversed in June with a better overall score on the 2023 U.S. Electric Vehicle Consideration Study than in 2022, then declined again the same month on with a lower overall score on the 2023 Initial Quality Study. The declines continue with the 2023 J.D. Power U.S. Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) Study, overall satisfaction among the 84,555 respondents down two points overall compared to 2022, to 845 out of 1,000 points. Because last year's score dropped compared to 2021, this year marks the first consecutive decline in the study's 28-year history. The study tries to "[measure] owners' emotional attachment and level of excitement with new vehicle" after 90 days of ownership by asking new owners to rate 37 attributes in 10 areas around the vehicle, such as the feeling they get when they hit the accelerator. Satisfaction with nine of the attributes is down this year versus last, fuel economy the only segment to show better results with 15 points more satisfaction. Styling and infotainment are big drags on satisfaction. Responses to new car exterior looks tallied 888 points, down from 894 last year, the largest drop in this year's study. On the digital side, less than half of those surveyed this year said they prefer using a manufacturer's built-in infotainment. From 70% of respondents in 2020 preferring to use a manufacturer's in-house software to play audio instead of Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, that's 56% in 2023. Going all-in on Google appears to have the best effect. J.D. Power said that vehicles with both Google's Android Automotive Operating System (AAOS) and Google Automotive Services (GAS) "score higher in the infotainment category than those with no AAOS whatsoever. AAOS without GAS receives the lowest scores for infotainment of the three categories."  Frank Hanley, senior director of auto benchmarking at J.D. Power, said, "Despite the technology and design innovations that manufacturers put into new vehicles, owners are lukewarm about them. While innovations like charging pads, vehicle apps and advanced audio features should enhance an owner’s experience, this is not the case when problems are experienced.
