This is my personal 1994 GMC Step Side.  I purchased the truck in Tennessee from the previous owner who got it from his best friend in 2005.  Truck is one of the nicest and cleanest that I have ever seen.  Runs and drives flawlessly.  It is hard to believe how well this truck drives.  I have built several of these trucks and tried to buy this one for over 6 months before I was able to convince the previous owner to let go of it.  You can tell from some of the photos how clean the underside and engine area of this truck is.  I did not spray bomb it, the truck is really this clean.

The crate motor was purchased from Bill Heard Chevrolet in Huntsville Alabama in January of 2006.  Was installed by Corvettes Plus in Whitesburg Tennessee when the truck had approximately 119500 miles.  I do have receipts and documentation of this.  Previous customer drove it for close to 17,000 miles before he sold it to me.  I put around 1500 on it before I decided to upgrade the truck.  Vehicle has 138,000 miles showing on the odometer.  This is correct.

I decided to increase some of the performance, but not change the reliability of the vehicle.  I researched Harris Performance (you can go to tbichips dot com to find out more info) and really liked what he had to say about building TBI motors. I used his cam, intake, & chip ideas for this build.

Installed Edelbrock TBI Intake manifold.  Updated Throttle Body.  Comp Cams 249 H cam designed for TBI motors.  New valve springs.  
Chrome Headers.  New free flowing Y Pipe Exhaust into a Flowmaster muffler with custom drops at the back corners of the bed.
Truck has a great sound.  Not loud just very deep.  No exhaust drone sound at any RPM.  Very nice to cruise in.

I wanted a little more get up and go so I installed a 4:10 Auburn Posi rear end with upgraded brake drums.  I hate a vehicle that only turns one rear wheel. The truck has great cruising ability because of the 700 r4 Overdrive Tranny.  If you want to get nasty with it you can.  Great runner with good fuel economy.  When I did the upgrades I went ahead and put in a new radiator, high flow fuel pump, power steering pump, and anything that could be updated.  Front and rear brakes are new and operate great. 

American Racing 18" wheels in the front and 20" in the rear.  Tires have decent tread.  Rears are getting a little thin, but not dangerous.

Body of the truck is great.  There is a small dent in the top of the passenger side bed rail.  Looks like an elbow mark.  I have a photo of it showing the small imperfection. Very hard to see unless you are looking for it.  The bed of the truck is in excellent shape.  There are a few rock chips on the front.  Overall, the paint is in great shape.  Not an all out show truck, but very close.  Doors do not sag, bushings have been upgraded so doors close like new. 

Interior is stock and in great shape.  No rips or tears in seat.  Carpet has a couple of stains, but very good condition.  The fuse door cover is broken.  I have it but the tab has broken off like most of these do.  

I am a Harley Davidson dealer.  I would have interest in Harley or other brand motorcycle trades.  Please contact me to discuss values.

I recently purchased a Jeep SRT8 so I need to make some space in the garage.  This GMC truck is a knock out.  Gets looks everywhere I go.  Hate to get rid of it, but I only have so much space.

Please contact me if you have any questions or need anything else.

2015 Chevy Colorado to start at $20,100*, GMC Canyon at $20,995**

Tue, 05 Aug 2014

General 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.

2015 Sierra All Terrain HD looks ready to hit heavy-duty trails

Thu, 22 May 2014

GMC is getting its heavy-duty trucks ready for the mud this summer with its All Terrain package for the Sierra 2500HD and 3500HD. Meant to blend style, tech and ruggedness, the pack includes a lot of extra chrome outside and an off-road package underneath.
The 2015 Sierra All Terrain HD trucks naturally come standard with four-wheel drive with an electronically controlled transfer case to handle things in the dirt. The Z71 off-road package is also standard, which includes Rancho twin-tube shocks, hill descent control and a skid plate. To add some style when off the beaten path, the pack includes chrome trim on the mirror caps, lower bumper and grille surround, plus LEDs around the headlights and 18-inch wheels (20-inchers are optional on the 2500HD). The 3500HD also gets chrome, adjustable outside camper mirrors. The interior receives a technology upgrade thanks to the standard rearview camera and IntelliLink infotainment that can act as a Wi-Fi hotspot through OnStar 4G LTE, read text messages and includes Siri Eyes Free for iPhone users.
The All Terrain package goes on sale on both trucks this summer and is offered on either the SLE or SLT trim levels in double cab and crew cab models. The standard engine is the 6.0-liter V8 with 360 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque, but the Duramax 6.6-liter, diesel V8 with 397 hp and 765 lb-ft is also available. The gas engine is mated to a Hydra-matic six-speed automatic, and the diesel uses an Allison six-speed automatic. Scroll down to read the full announcement about these heavy-duty off-roaders.

GM tells owners not to use SUV wipers due to fire risk

Sun, Oct 11 2015

General Motors is recalling 31,685 examples of the 2016 Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, and GMC Acadia because a short circuit in the windshield wiper motor can potentially lead to a fire. Due to the danger, the company is asking owners not to use the wipers until the problem is fixed, according to The Detroit Free Press citing the Associated Press. A manufacturing defect in the wiper motor cover means that the electrical terminals can come into contact and cause a short. The part could "melt, smoke, or catch fire," according to a statement from GM. The company will get them fixed immediately, and dealers will replace the cover. If there's bad weather at the time the owner specifies to get the recall work completed, the automaker will come pick up the crossovers. Depending on parts availability, the automaker will supply a rental car for customers, as well. The issue was discovered at the factory. According to the company's statement, only 6,405 actually made it to customers, and they were notified immediately by overnight letter. The rest were in dealer stock. The affected crossovers carry build dates between August 18, 2015 and September 24, 2015. Of those, there are 29,295 in the US and 1,073 in Canada. GM Statement: General Motors has told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it will recall approximately 29,295 2016 model year Chevrolet Traverse, Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia SUVs in the U.S. because the front windshield wiper motor may overheat when in use because of a manufacturing defect. In some cases, the front windshield wiper motor cover may melt, smoke or catch fire. The approximately 6,405 customers who have taken delivery of these vehicles were notified by overnight letter and are urged to contact a GM dealer as soon as possible to arrange a service appointment. These customers should not use the front windshield wipers until they have been repaired. If weather conditions prevent driving the vehicle without using the windshield wipers, GM will arrange to pick up the vehicle for servicing. If repair parts are unavailable, GM will provide a rental car at no cost until parts become available. The total population, including Canada, Mexico and exports, is approximately 31,685. About 25,280 of these vehicles are in dealer stock and will not be sold until repairs are made.
