I have up for sale a very rare, highly modified, and well taken care of GMC Typhoon. This car is a one owner with extensive ownership history. In 2005, after 12 years of ownership, the original owner decided to fully restore this truck, and spared no expense in doing so. This project was a labor of love for the original owner and his kids. So much has been replaced, rebuilt, upgraded, it is going to be very tough to cover everything, but I am going to try and do it in bullet point form: The truck was completely stripped down to the bare frame and rebuilt with lots of new or reconditioned parts: Body: -Completely stripped and disassembled, body mounts rebuilt -New GM licensed front fenders, wheel wells and core support -Tailgate stripped and redone -Filled roof seams -Roof rack removed, holes not shaved but plugged, retained chrome rails -New non-wiper tinted rear glass, with defroster($100) -Paul's select front bumper with 2nd gen crystal lens foglamps($860 + $300 - fogs) -Black gloss firewall, wheel wells and core support -4 coat GM Dark Spiral grey metallic, 6 coat DuPont clear($7,377) -Heavy duty headlight harness -Custom drivers side relocated battery using stock cables Engine (Receipt for engine build: $8,514.05) -Stock block, bored and decked @ 4.030 -4 bolt mains, ARP studs -JE pistons -Eagle rods (stock oil pan was swedged for clearance) -Stock crank, magnafluxed, polished and internally balanced -Melling high flow oil pump -Edelbrock double roller timing chain -Comp cams 415 ( changed from 422, too much cam for the build) -Vortec heads, 3 angle valve job, light polishing, stainless 2.01/1.64 valves -Crane 1.6 Gold series self-aligning rockers -Vortec modified SyTy manifold, polished by RPM($450) -75# PTE injectors -Accel 8.8mm plug wires -Autolite race plugs -MSD blaster GM coil -BBK 58mm throttle body ($345) -HKS SSQV blowoff on custom throttle body mount($198 -ATR stainless headers, rewelded and ceramic coated by JetHot ($995 + $330) -Fluidamper neutral harmonic balancer - Accel 4.3 distributor ($299) -Garret GT-35-R turbo (ball bearing), .83 A/R SyTy housing, 3" compressor($1,555) -RPM air to air front mount intercooler($922.19) -PTE internal wastegate downpipe($675) -ATR full 3" high flow exhaust with cat($465) -Walbro 255lp/h in tank pump -Volvo electric fan with custom relay controller -JSM frame pads with Moroso solid mounts -195* thermostat, OEM Jimmy waterneck with fan control sensor installed Engine management -Low impedance injector driver modified ECM ($299) -Custom tune by Nolan running through moates switchable chip adapter -3 bar MAP Driveline -Built 700R4, 700Raptor shot peened input and output shafts, kevlar clutches, 5 gear planetaries($4,615.91) -9.5" Billet converter, 2650rpm stall($618) -Gilbert propshaft -rebuilt front / rear axles -Eaton 7.625 carbon positraction differential($416) -Rebuild rear end with Eaton Diff and all new bearings/seals($768.33) -B&M HiTec Trans cooler, 13 x 9", sans fan.

I started adding up receipts for work done during and after the restoration, I got to around $46K and then stopped. That does not include the $1,000's of $$$'s in receipts that I have before around 2005. Whoever gets this truck is getting something very Special!

GM reportedly recalling select 2014 Silverado, Sierra pickups over airbag issue
Sun, 21 Jul 2013General Motors is recalling 843 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra Crew Cab pickups, due to a fault with the vehicle's airbags. According to GM, the airbags may not inflate properly in the event of a crash. There haven't been any crashes or injuries associated with this recall, which is always good. Naturally, repairs will be free of charge, and GM will begin contacting affected owners soon.
GM has a lot hanging on the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. Not only is it banking over $12,000 per vehicle on these trucks, as reported by Automotive News, but GM is counting on the Sierra and Silverado to take the fight to cross-town rivals Ford and Ram. The F-150 and Ram 1500 have been on a tear over the past few years, with fresh updates, advanced powertrains, and plenty of solid press while the GM trucks have been waiting for the 2014-model-year upgrades.
It's still entirely too early to judge the Sierra and Silverado, particularly as those 843 recalled trucks make up barely two percent of the over 40,000 units moved so far. But, as AN rightly states, these trucks are the most important vehicles to come out of GM since bankruptcy, with about 60 percent of global profits relating to pickups and SUVs. Starting an introduction of such a big product with a recall, however small, is not the preferred way to do things.
GM opens military discount to 21M veterans and their spouses
Thu, Apr 7 2016May marks the start of National Military Appreciation Month, and General Motors is getting into the spirit by expanding its military discount program to, well, just about everyone. That includes a total of 21 million military veterans and their spouses, along with the current slate of active duty, reserve, and National Guard members. The discount can slash thousands of dollars off the price of a new Buick, Chevrolet, or GMC vehicles, with Automotive News listing an $1,100 discount on the top gas-powered version of the Malibu, the Premiere. Those that want a bit more spice can get $1,700 off the price of a last-generation 2015 Camaro SS, while truck buyers will enjoy $3,000 off the Chevy Silverado All Star. That's just a start, though, since the military discount can be paired with other GM incentives. The discount doesn't apply to everything, though. Some are understandable – none of Cadillac's vehicles are included in the deal, nor is the Corvette Z06. You'll also be unable to apply the discount to a range of base-level trims, like the Chevy Cruze or Equinox L, the base Colorado, or the entry level GMC Acadia, Canyon, and Terrain. A full list is available at GM's dedicated military discount website. GM's expanded discount plan runs from today through May 31.

GM tells NHTSA pickup truck electronic glitch is 'inconsequential'
Wed, 26 Feb 2014
General Motors has been enduring some serious problems with recalls recently, and it is hoping to avoid launching another major safety campaign. 200,921 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups are under the microscope due to a rare problem with their instruments, an issue GM calls calls "inconsequential to motor vehicle safety." The Detroit-based automaker believes that the glitch is so minor that it has filed a petition with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration asking the government safety watchdog for permission to pass on recalling the vehicles.
The fault at issue can occasionally cause the instrument cluster to reset when drivers use the steering wheel controls to browse songs from an external media device connected to the truck's USB ports. If a song's title information exceeds 2,000 bytes, according to The Detroit News, then the instrument panel can reset, which in turn causes the gauges, shift position indicator and cruise control telltale to turn off briefly. When rebooting, other instrument panel lights may briefly illuminate without their functions actually being activated. GM claims that if this does happen, the instrument display lights go out for about 1.5 seconds and the bulb check lasts a further five seconds. However, this snafu has no actual affect on the truck's operation. The glitch is present in trucks built between January 29, 2013, and October 28, 2013.
