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.!!!!!*****

GM phasing out light-duty 1500-series vans
Mon, 16 Jun 2014In the market for a fullsize van but don't need a heavy-duty model? You're in the minority, and you're also out of luck. That's because there are barely any more fullsize vans on the market with gross vehicle weight rating of less than 8,500 pounds, the threshold that separates light- and heavy-duty vans.
According to PickupTrucks.com, neither the Ford E-Series, Ram ProMaster, nor Mercedes-Benz Sprinter are available in light-duty versions. Few of the Ford Transit configurations are, either, and now General Motors is discontinuing production of the 1500-series Chevy Express and GMC Savana.
Apparently light-duty versions accounted for just 23 percent of Express sales and only 7 percent of Savanas. Add to that the fact that these 1500 versions were the only ones using the old generation of engines and suspension, and that the Wentzville plant near St. Louis, Missouri, is trying to make room for the next Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon pickups, and the fate of the light-duty GM van was sealed.
Consumer Reports no longer recommends Honda Civic
Mon, Oct 24 2016Consumer Reports annual Car Reliability Survey is out, and yes, there are some big surprises. First and foremost? The venerable publication no longer recommends the Honda Civic. In fact, aside from the walking-dead CR-Z and limited-release Clarity fuel-cell car, the Civic is the only Honda to miss out on CR's prestigious nod. At the opposite end there's a surprise as well – Toyota and Lexus remain the most reliable brands on the market, but Buick cracked the top three. That's up from seventh last year, and the first time for an American brand to stand on the Consumer Reports podium. Mazda's entire lineup earned Recommended checks as well. Consumer Reports dinged the Civic for its "infuriating" touch-screen radio, lack of driver lumbar adjustability, the limited selection of cars on dealer lots fitted with Honda's popular Sensing system, and the company's decision to offer LaneWatch instead of a full-tilt blind-spot monitoring system. Its score? A lowly 58. The Civic isn't the only surprise drop from CR's Recommended ranks. The Audi A3, Ford F-150, Subaru WRX/STI, and Volkswagen Jetta, GTI, and Passat all lost the Consumer Reports' checkmark. On the flipside, a number of popular vehicles graduated to the Recommended ranks, including the BMW X5, Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Cruze, Hyundai Santa Fe, Porsche Macan, and Tesla Model S. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the hilariously recall-prone Ford Escape getting a Recommended check – considering the popularity of Ford's small crossover, this is likely a coup for the brand, as it puts the Escape on a level playing field with the Recommended Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Nissan Rogue. While Ford is probably happy to see CR promote the Escape, the list wasn't as kind for every brand. For example, of the entire Fiat Chrysler Automobiles catalog, the ancient Chrysler 300 was the only car to score a check – there wasn't a single Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, or Ram on the list. That hurts. FCA isn't alone at the low end, either. GMC, Jaguar Land Rover, Mini, and Mitsubishi don't have a vehicle on CR's list between them, while brands like Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Nissan, Lincoln, Infiniti, and Cadillac only have a few models each.

2015 Chevy Colorado to start at $20,100*, GMC Canyon at $20,995**
Tue, 05 Aug 2014General Motors has just announced pricing for its new midsize pickup trucks, the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon. Chevy's truck starts at $20,100, *not including $895 for destination, and the GMC starts at $20,995, **not including $925 for destination. These prices are for the base, extended cab models with the 200-horsepower, 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine.
Comparatively, these prices fit nicely with the $18,125 starting MSRP of the Toyota Tacoma and the $21,510 of the Nissan Frontier. Compared to the Colorado, the Canyon's extra $895 gets you niceties like LED running lamps, 16-inch alloy wheels, and a four-way power driver's seat.
Both trucks come standard with the 2.5-liter engine, and a more powerful, 305-hp 3.6-liter V6 will also be available. Pricing has not been announced for the upcoming diesel model, which is expected to launch for the 2016 model year.
