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.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra debut all-new designs, three new engines

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

General Motors has finally dropped the curtain on the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra. Both trucks have undergone substantial revisions with updated versions of the company's 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 engines. In a shot across the bows of both Ford and Chrysler, GM says it won't use a V6 engine adapted from passenger car applications. Instead, it developed the 4.3-liter engine based on its proven truck-duty architecture.
All three mills will boast direct injection fuel systems as well as a new cylinder head design. Combined with a revised piston, the new engines feature a smaller combustion chamber with a compression ratio of 11:1 or higher depending on the application. Cylinder deactivation and continuously variable valve timing are all part of the recipe, and each engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with auto grade breaking. So far, no fuel economy or horsepower figures have been released, though GM says the new engines will best their predecessors in both areas.
Outside, the trucks feature a number of enhancements to reduce drag and wind noise, and GM claims both the Silverado and Sierra will offer buyers some of the quietest cabins in the class. Extended cab models now feature front-hinged rear doors to allow easier access to the back passenger area, and Crew Cab buyers can now select between a five-foot, eight-inch bed or a six-foot, six-inch bed. Buyers with a mind toward going off road will also rejoice in the return of the Z71 package, complete with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and additional under-body protection.

2018 GMC Acadia with 'Christmas Aero' modification gets in the wind tunnel

Sat, Dec 16 2017

Tis the season of "Big" - big cheer, big parties, big bowls of eggnog, big decorations, and when it comes to your family hauler, big drag. Festive drivers who festoon their crossovers, minivans, and SUVs with wreaths, Rudolph noses, fuzzy antlers, and rooftop Christmas trees undo the years of work that car engineers devote to fractional gains in fuel economy. To put numbers to such fuel-guzzling madness, GMC started with a 2018 Acadia, optioned it with the Xmas Aero Package - both Standard and Plus versions - put it in Lockheed-Martin's wind tunnel. The resulting dip in fuel economy results probably won't surprise anyone who's used a roof rack - or, for that matter, their car's air conditioning. However, it might surprise you to find out which seemingly substantial decoration had no effect, and which seemingly innocuous decoration was about twice as bad as running the A/C on its Mr. Freeze setting. Check out the brief video above for the results. And consider placement of that bow carefully.

GM considering new powertrain options for large SUVs

Tue, 15 Oct 2013

Aside from the new General Motors offerings, there's not a whole lot of action going on in the fullsize SUV segment. That doesn't seem to be stopping GM from pushing the envelope in the market as Automotive News is reporting that the automaker is looking to introduce some new powertrain options into the Chevy Tahoe (and Suburban), GMC Yukon (and Yukon XL) and the Cadillac Escalade - all have been redesigned for the 2015 model year.
Now, we already know that GM and Ford are collaborating on nine- and ten-speed transmissions for a broad range of applications (including the big SUVs), but this new report says that GM is also considering other options as a way to one-up the competition and, of course, to optimize fuel economy. AN quotes Jeff Luke, executive chief engineer for GM trucks, as saying that "interesting powertrain technologies" are coming including a return of a hybrid SUV and possibly even a diesel engine. Although it sounds like the latter could come down to how customers respond to the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel.
