Vienna, Illinois, United States

Original 1 ton GMC Sierra pickup truck.  I have owned this truck for 20 years.  I bought the truck in 1994 off of a dealer in Fox Lake Illinois. The truck had around 80,000 miles on it when I bought it.  I mainly drove this truck when I was in High School.  At the time I was not looking for a truck with a lift, but it was already on it when I bought it.  The truck has a 4 inch lift so it is not excessive and looks good.  I have always kept this truck shedded since I have owned it.  It currently sits in the pole barn covered up.  The mice have not been in it.  I start it up about once every three months to keep mechanical parts working, motor lubed ect.  I am selling the truck because I need to reduce my fleet of vehicles.  I also do not want to keep paying insurance on it since I do not drive it.            

I have spent a lot of money on this truck over the years, way more than what it is worth to keep it original.  I have replaced the radiator.  Right after I bought it from the dealer it had a small leak so I changed the whole radiator.  The doors, bed sides, tail gait are new.  The lights on the tailgate are original with the 1 ton package at the time.  It has been painted back to original midnight Black, factory color.  The body man put extra clear coat on for extreme protection .  Several years back the dash started cracking so I replaced it with a new one.  The headliner has been replaced and is still good shape, this was a common problems with these older trucks.  The seat is in good shape, I always had a seat cover on it to keep it nice.  I fixed the steering column because it got loose along with the ignition switch.  It has tilt wheel.  The windshield wiper control lever is new.  All the gauges work.  The transfer case was rebuilt by a local 4x4 shop.  When they rebuilt this they went ahead and put in a new clutch, throw out bearing, new u joints, seals, ect .  The brakes are like new.  The tires have less than 5000 miles on them, so they are in good shape.  It has a 4 speed transmission with 4:10 gear ratio Dana 70 rear end. The power windows work.   

The engine runs good, no major leaks.  The engine has been completely rebuilt over the years.  The block was shipped off to St. Louis to be fixed back in 1995.  I had the heads magnafluxed, welded and resurfaced by Mac Weld in Carbondale IL.  It has hydraulic lifters on the heads.  Everything was always put back original down to the wiring, no half jobs.  I put new head bolts on the heads when they were installed back.  The glow plugs work good, they have been changed over the years.  When I had the body work done, I changed one fuel tank out, so one is newer than the other.  No leaks on the tanks.  The motor has its usual blow by.  The motor is around 370 Cubic inch displacement detroit engine, not the converted 5.9.  The batteries are in good shape.  It has two batteries purchased september 2011.

I never smoked in this truck.  I never mudded this truck. I did my best to keep the truck original. Some extras I added to it over the years was a bug shield, full set of running boards, visor and bed caps.  Sliding window was factory original.  I like the looks of the old GM trucks and really would miss the truck. Any other questions you can call me at 618-771-2363.

2014 GMC Sierra

Wed, 12 Jun 2013

Is the Best GMC Truck Ever Made Good Enough?
We've got a bright aluminum Airstream camper hitched to our rear bumper as we head up Southern California's coast because GMC says that 60 percent of all full-size pickup owners will use their trucks for towing.
Rather than forcing us to absorb its capabilities in a long-winded PowerPoint presentation, the automaker brought us to Los Angeles and handed us the keys to its all-new 2014 GMC Sierra 1500. After jumping behind the wheel of a 5.3-liter V8 model, we drove up the foggy Malibu coast (locals call the soggy early-summer weather "June Gloom") and made our way to the Camarillo Airport for a towing refresher. Once completed, a brand-new 23-foot Airstream was hitched to our aft end and we were pointed towards a campground just west of Santa Barbara.

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.

Supercharged 2015 GMC Yukon Denali sounds evil, runs 0-60 in 4.5 seconds

Sun, Dec 7 2014

Speeding along in a sports car is undoubtedly a ton of fun, but some owners need the ability to carry a lot of people and their stuff and don't want to sacrifice the ability to put the power down. The tuners over at Hennessey have that demographic covered with their growling, supercharged power kits for the GMC Yukon Denali. The upgrades come in three forms for the SUV's 6.2-liter V8: HPE550 with 557 horsepower, HPE600 with 605 hp and HPE650 with 665 hp. This video showcases the full-bore version, and this Denali can definitely hustle in a straight line. The power bump comes courtesy of a 2.9-liter supercharger, intercooler and high-flow cylinder heads to add over 200 horsepower compared to stock, and the final result is a bellowing SUV that rears up off he line to throw the driver back into the seat. The sprint to 60 miles per hour lasts just 4.5 seconds. Check out this hasty hauler in action in the video above.
