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.!!!!!*****

2013 GMC Acadia priced from $34,875*

Wed, 12 Sep 2012

For those who are interested in the reworked 2013 GMC Acadia, we now know how much you can look forward to forking over. Base MSRP for the 2013 version of the full-size, three-row crossover has been set at $34,875 (*not including a $825 destination charge). If you are interested in the range-topping Denali trim, be prepared to pay $46,770.
The 2013 Acadia will come standard with a backup camera, leather-wrapped steering wheel, USB port and recycled visuals from the now-dead Saturn Outlook.
Upping to the Denali trim gets you a head-up display, blind spot monitoring system and GMC's new Rear Cross Traffic Alert system. According to GMC, most trims will also receive IntelliLink connectivity as standard equipment. The Acadia will also get the industry's first front-center airbag, an innovation it shares with other Lambda-based crossovers like the refreshed 2013 Buick Enclave. The idea behind the new tube-shaped airbag is that it can provide a buffer between driver and front seat passenger in the event of an impact, or better hold the driver in place if he or she is alone.

GMC to get own model not shared with Chevy?

Mon, 20 Jan 2014

For years, GMC has existed as a brand without a single unique product, reconstituting Chevrolet trucks, SUVs and crossovers with more frosting in exchange for a few extra dollars. The Sierra is a Silverado, the Acadia a Traverse, and the Terrain an Equinox, although admittedly the latter pair are visually differentiated to a significant degree.
GMC could be set to expand beyond its Chevy-based roots, though. During last week's Detroit Auto Show press days, GM's product boss Mark Reuss was asked whether there'd ever be a GMC that wasn't taken from Chevy. "Oh, yes, you will," Reuss told the media. "The health of GMC is astonishingly good from a consideration standpoint." Reuss wouldn't elaborate on what the model could be, although we're quite happy to make some guesses. GMC has its bases fairly well covered, with a mid-size and full-size crossover, as well as a mid-size, full-size and HD pickup. We doubt GMC will be building a family sedan, sports car, or hatchback, so really, the only place we can see the brand going is into a smaller crossover.
Automotive News points out that the most recent small GMC showcar, the 2010 Granite concept (shown above), won't see production according to General Motors. That vehicle likely would have rode on GM's compact vehicle architecture, known internally as Gamma II, which underpins the Chevy Spark and Sonic, as well as the Buick Encore (and its overseas Opel/Vauxhall/Chevy counterparts).

GM laying off more than 4,000 workers Monday morning

Sat, Feb 2 2019

According to reports from Automotive News, The Detroit News, and CNN, General Motors plans to begin laying off more than 4,000 salaried workers starting Monday morning. In a statement to AN, a spokesperson for the automaker said, "We are not confirming timing. Our employees are our priority. We will communicate with them first." We've been expecting layoffs at General Motors since November, 2018. At the time, the Detroit-based automaker announced it would seek to shed 8,100 salaried employees, shut down five assembly plants in North America, and kill off several slow-selling models. One month earlier, GM offered buyout packages to 18,000 workers and said it would seek to cut its global workforce by 25 percent. A spokesperson said at the time the moves were "proactive steps to get ahead of the curve by accelerating our efforts to address overall business performance." The cost-cutting moves are expected to save GM up to $2.5 billion in 2019 and as much as $6 billion by 2020. David Kudla, CEO and chief investment strategist of Mainstay Capital Management, referred to the impending culling as "Black Monday" and told The Detroit News that the layoffs would begin around 7:30 a.m. and continue in waves throughout the coming days and weeks. GM plans to deliver on its fourth-quarter and full-year 2018 earnings report on Wednesday. President Donald Trump plans to deliver the annual State of the Union address a day earlier on Tuesday. We expect to hear plenty more from both sides over the next several days.
