1987 Gmc Jimmy Sierra Classic Sport Utility 2-door 5.0l on 2040-cars
|
Up for auction is my fuel injected 1987 GMC Jimmy K5. This is a very original southern vehicle, with very little rust. I have owned at least 6 of these k5's and I can tell you it easier to start on one with potential than to buy a cheap rust bucket and fix it. This is a factory equiped fuel injected 305 and a new engine was installed about 10,000 miles ago. It still has the factory auto locking hubs. All the power windows work; however they are a little slow. The dash is perfect with no cracks along with the door panels. The seats are vinyl and the driver seat will need to be recovered, but the other 2 are fine.The air condition works, but may need charge come summer. The last time I ran the ac was september and it worked fine. The paint is a little weak especially on the passenger side, but driver side is fine. My guess is it stayed under a carport and the passenger side was exposed to the elements. A small exhaust leak can be heard when you first crank it up but it goes away after it warms up, so I am assuming it is where the manifold and collector meet. It does not have the typical rust on the quarter panels, fenders or rocker panels. The only spot is under the top on the passenger side, pics will show this. This is my daily driver, so I have tried to keep up with maintenance, but it is 27 years old and things just fail. If you have never owned a older vehilce, replacing parts is just part of owning one. I think it has a valve cover leak, but the engine does not smoke and the fuel injection sure is nice opposed to a carbuerator. This is the only fuel injected one I have owned and it is nice not having to pump the gas to crank it up. The transmisssion is a 700r4 which means it is a overdrive transmission. The vehicle shows 73,000 miles but Im sure it is at least 173,000 so I'm sure the transmission has been replaced at some time. If you are familiar with the 700r4, factory built ones do no last long, so that's why I say it probably has been replaced with 173,000 miles. I put new 33x10.50 BFG Mud Terrains on it in November 2013 so they may have 1500 miles on them. Other new parts are starter, battery, alternator and axle seals. Bumpers are also in good shape and has a receiver hitch. I do not have to sell this vehicle and if it does sell I hope it goes to someone that wants one to restore or keep factory original. This also for sale locally so I may end the auction early. A $500.00 is due at the end of auction. I can be contacted @ 731-780-4298 if you have any questions or need to see anything else.

GMC to get own model not shared with Chevy?
Mon, 20 Jan 2014For 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).
Safety group pans GM’s new Marketplace in-dash shopping
Wed, Dec 6 2017When it comes to our cars, is the Internet of Things a godsend? Or a hidden menace that will create more problems than it will solve? On the same day General Motors announced it will equip newer-model cars with its in-dash Marketplace e-commerce app, a prominent safety group was shooting it down. National Safety Council President Deborah Hersman tells Bloomberg the technology will only contribute to distracted driving and hurt efforts to stem the tide of rising auto fatalities, which grew 5.6 percent to more than 37,000 in the U.S. in 2016. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says distracted driving was responsible for 3,477 fatalities and 391,000 injuries in 2015, the most recent year for which it has data. "There's nothing about this that's safe," Hersman told Bloomberg. "If this is why they want WiFi in the car, we're going to see fatality numbers go up even higher than they are now." Marketplace, developed with IBM, will allow drivers — or more often, one hopes, their passengers — to order coffee or food, find gas stations and reserve hotel rooms from their dashboard screens. The technology is set to be uploaded automatically to nearly 1.9 million GM vehicles model-year 2017 and later that are equipped with WiFi hotspots and compatible systems. By the end of 2018, about 4 million Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles will be equipped with Marketplace. The app will debut with a limited number of participating retailers, including TGI Fridays, Shell, Exxon Mobil and Starbucks, with more likely to join later. Online retail giant Amazon is also partnering with automakers such as Ford to bring e-commerce capabilities inside the car through its Alexa personal assistant. While convenience is nice, one other thing is becoming clear as the IoT wedges its way into our cars: It's taking aim at some decidedly first-world problems.Related Video: Image Credit: GM Buick Cadillac Chevrolet GM GMC Technology Infotainment in-car entertainment marketplace e-commerce
