1990 GMC Diesel 6.2 Diesel Suburban

In overall good shape. This truck spent most of its life on a ranch in South Texas. I purchased it about a year ago with the intention of making it a cross country family traveling vehicle. ( I grew up with a truck just like this ) Well I have put a whole lot of time and effort in it getting to were it is now. I have since gotten a new job and have been given a new company truck, the suburban has just been sitting. I used it twice in the last six months. Once to move, and once to haul a load of furniture a couple hours away. The truck runs well!  

This truck starts every time and does not smoke or burn oil. It cranks rights up even after sitting for a month.

1990 and 1991 Diesel suburban's came with over drive transmissions and the new style heads. This truck is not slow, it holds it own getting on the freeway and passing. Its not gonna win a drag race, but it has plenty of power to accelerate. This truck will run all day long at 75 or 80 miles per hour and not miss a beat. 90 and 91, 6.2 diesels have the good hi flow heads. The last picture was taken while driving 75mph....smooth

Power windows are slow to go up and down, the power locks work, but need to pushed several times to get them all the way up. The rear door sometimes need to be manually unlocked by reaching in. This truck  looks really good in the pictures , but is just average in person. I love it, but my wife not so much. Just please be aware its gonna need some cosmetic with the dash and paint to make a really nice truck. The truck also has the third row seat not pictured. The carpet is all in good shape. the headliner is nice, but starting to sag a tinny bit in the very back of the truck.

Millage: I AM NOT SURE OF AUCTUALY MILAGE. speedometer works fine but the miles don't click off. its been this way since I got it.  I have put maybe 2000 miles on it in a year. I took on 5 or 6 trips, 2 to 5 hours away. no problems.

New Stuff:

Engine: pulled from truck and all the freeze plugs replaced, new water pump, valve cover and intake gaskets, glow plugs and starter.

Transmission: overhauled with new converter (six month warranty, expired) 

Radiator, thermostat upper and lower hoses  (coolant light on because coolant sensor did not fit new radiator, needs brass adapter)

Windshield- new 

Batteries - 2 new, 9 months old.

Tires- 4 brand new (less than 1000 miles)


Needs:

Brakes-the brakes are weak, but very drivable. I have to add brake fluid after it sits.

Shocks- The truck drives like a big boat and could use a set of shocks.

A/C - looses charge after about a week, rear blower motor out.

Dash is cracked, the tint has gone a little blurry

Windows-crack in the long side rear passenger and rear window.

Paint- faded with  scratches.

The headlights point down and need to be adjusted and the drivers door is out of alignment (this how I got the truck not sure why its like this)

No spare tire.

Overall this truck is good condition, ready to drive home. It needs some cosmetics to make it a great truck.

GM natural gas-powered vans recalled due to possible leak

Wed, Sep 24 2014

General Motors is recalling almost 3,200 of its compressed-natural-gas powered utility vans because of possible leaks. GM and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) released a notice last week saying that 3,196 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana CNG vans are on recall, though no accidents have been reported due to the possible issue. The recall is specifically for vans for model years ranging from 2011 to 2014. The recall stems from a potential leak from the compressed natural gas high-pressure regulator, and such a leak could cause a fire or explosion. GM will replace the vehicles' high-pressure regulator in order to fix the problem, will do it free of charge and is instructing owners to contact Chevrolet or GMC customer service to arrange for the parts replacement. Utility vehicle makers like General Motors have pushed for fleet sales of CNG-powered vans and trucks for the past few years and have touted them for their cheaper refueling costs relative to standard gasoline, not to mention the fact that natural gas can be readily sourced from throughout North America (thanks, fracking). According to CNGPrices.com, compressed natural gas sells for about $2.22 a gallon, on average, while the AAA is pegging the average price of gas at $3.34 a gallon. NHTSA has posted information on the recall here. Featured Gallery News Source: NHTSA via Reuters Green Chevrolet GM GMC Natural Gas Vehicles CNG gmc savana

OnStar RemoteLink mobile app coming standard on all new GM vehicles

Thu, 06 Jun 2013

As an evolution and improvement of its OnStar technology, General Motors has announced that it will be expanding the RemoteLink Mobile App on most 2014 model year Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles. The new, aptly named RemoteLink Key Fob Services will allow users to remotely operate all of the same systems as the car's key fob, including locking and unlocking the doors and remote starting (on vehicles equipped with a factory remote starter) using a smartphone.
These Key Fob Services will be free for five years - starting from the vehicle's delivery date - but the full suite of RemoteLink features will continue to be offered only with a subscription (trial or paid). These premium features include contacting a live adviser, getting turn-by-turn directions and remotely monitoring the vehicle's diagnostic systems.
