1986 Gmc K1500 4x4 Suburban With Lift on 2040-cars
Fredericksburg, Texas, United States
|
I bought this suburban in 2010, after having watched it sit idle in an apartment complex parking lot for 2 years. It has that classic 80's look that is so hard to find, especially in this shape. The young fella I bought it off of had pulled it out of a hayfield, where it had sat with blown heads for awhile already. He did a lot to get it back on the road including rebuilding those heads, installing the current lift and putting 33's on it.
Since I acquired it, I've had a rebuilt motor from a '93 put in it. IMO it needs a better rebuild; lifters tap a bit still. Initially it had a lot of blow by from the rebreather and still has a leak at the harmonic balancer. We put a 4 core full brass radiator in it. It has an Edelbrock carburetor and intake manifold. K&N filter. In the past year I've also had a new transmission installed. IMO the install is a little rough. I'm by no means a mechanic, more accurately a "diagnostician". I don't have much "how to fix it" knowledge, let alone tools, space and time to do it. I had hoped to park it, strip it and rebuild it at my leisure but because of issues with another vehicle, we put it on the road as a daily driver. It gets about 10mpg as it is now. Cold starts great. The differential has a new seal, fluid and the gears looked great. Transfer case runs perfect and shifts in and out easily. The front axel has self locking hubs. Dash cluster is completely shot. The lights work but none of the gauges, I'm pretty sure the copper circuit pad is too damaged and needs to be replaced. I haven't put the dash back together but still have the dash and the plastic cluster pieces. The steering column has been rebuilt as well. The doors need to be adjusted and re shimmed. 2 of the windows are cracked but not broken due to being hit by flying rocks from a weed whacker. All of the rubber door seals need to be replaced as well. Full front bench seat. Full middle seat and it still has the seat for the 3rd row. I have a spare tire for it. The vehicle has minimal rust. There is some on the right rear quarter panel (rusted behind the chrome trim, which has been removed) and a spot on a kick plate has a hole. The rust has come about from sitting in that hayfield in the Texas rain and doesn't appear to be major except maybe the hole. IMO could be fixed easily. There is no "road rust" like you would find in cars from up north, like in the wheel wells or undercarriage. In all honesty, it's in great shape body wise. It has the rear tailgate with the electric rear window. All of the windows, locks, etc are electric. The title is free and clear and in my possession. To the best of my knowledge the odometer has rolled and an accurate mileage cannot be given. There is approximately 25k miles since the rebuilt motor was installed and approximately 10k on the transmission. The right person can take this awesome suburban with really good bones and finish what I started. I would love to keep it but I am going from the Texas hill country to the dfw metroplex and that has forced me to make a hard choice. It's impractical for me to drive it in such a large city and I have nowhere to store it. So it's time to let someone else enjoy it and I'm absolutely certain that you will enjoy it. *please read carefully the following information* - As stated above, I am relocating. I need the transaction dealt with quickly, as outlined in the listing and the vehicle picked up ASAP. Delivery MAY be possible if you are within a reasonable distance and for an additional fee. - I have done my best to represent the condition of the vehicle as best I can but IT IS USED. It is sold AS IS. Please read carefully. Please ask questions. More pictures are available if requested. |

Surprise! GM putting aluminum in next-gen pickups
Wed, Aug 5 2015Last month, General Motors launched a series of ads touting the benefits of steel over aluminum – specifically, with regard to the Chevy Silverado versus the Ford F-150. (Kind of. We're not sure what a grizzly bear has to do with anything.) We took issue with the ads, with editor in chief Mike Austin saying they "reek of insecurity, and distract from the Silverado's strengths that could be used for positive advertising." But what bothers us more, is that yet another report surfaced claiming anti-aluminum GM will indeed use the weight-saving material in its next-generation fullsize trucks. On Tuesday, GM announced a $877-million investment for its truck plant in Flint, MI. But Reuters says that huge overhaul is because the trucks will use "substantially different equipment than the tools GM uses today." The report specifically states, "People familiar with the company's plans say GM's next-generation pickups and SUVs will make use of various materials, including aluminum and lightweight steel, to shed weight and gain fuel efficiency to meet tougher federal standards." The Silverado already uses a few aluminum components in the engine and hood, and if more widespread use will help GM build its best fullsize trucks ever, then that's great. Honestly, we have no reason to doubt that aluminum will be used in the next Silverado and GMC Sierra. We just hope GM remembers that nothing is ever truly deleted from the bowels of the Internet when it launches the subsequent "look how great aluminum is!" campaign.

2015 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon order guides reveal added power
Tue, 17 Jun 2014General Motors' Fleet Order Guide system is often the canary in the coal mine for interesting changes on new models. The recent guide for the 2015 Corvette unveiled all sorts of changes that weren't yet known about the sports car. Now, it's time for the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon to take their bow in the spotlight, and they look worth the wait. The new midsize trucks are getting a touch more power than first thought, as well as some very nice features.
Extended Cab models of both trucks come standard with a 2.5-liter, direct-injected four-cylinder rated at 200 horsepower at 6,300 rpm and 191 pound-feet of torque at 4,400 rpm. That's a bit more than the 193 hp and 184 lb-ft originally reported for the duo. The standard transmission for the extended trucks is a six-speed manual, but the Work Truck trim is also available with an optional six-speed automatic. Towing for the four-cylinder is rated at 3,500 pounds.
Crew Cab models come standard with a 3.6-liter V6 with 305 hp at 6,800 rpm and 269 lb-ft of torque at 4,300 rpm, with a six-speed automatic. That's also somewhat different than the originally reported rating of 302 hp and 270 lb-ft. Towing for the V6 is rated at 7,000 pounds.
GMC boss wants a Jeep Wrangler rival
Wed, 12 Nov 2014Challengers come and challengers go, but the Jeep Wrangler continues to push forward even after vehicles like the Toyota FJ Cruiser and the entire Hummer brand have been shut down. Now GMC reportedly wants to take a stab at the quintessential Jeep, as well.
The news comes directly from Buick-GMC vice president Duncan Aldred, speaking with our compatriots over at Edmunds. Although Aldred said there are no plans currently on the table to expand GMC's lineup beyond the current range, "there is plenty of room everywhere in the hierarchy."
That could include a rival to the Wrangler, as well as a flagship luxury SUV positioned above the current Yukon Denali (pictured above). Just when (or for that matter, if) such models might come into fruition remains a big question mark, but it's certainly interesting to see what GM's dedicated truck brand has on the drawing board.
