I have up for sale a very rare, highly modified, and well taken care of GMC Typhoon. This car is a one owner with extensive ownership history. In 2005, after 12 years of ownership, the original owner decided to fully restore this truck, and spared no expense in doing so. This project was a labor of love for the original owner and his kids. So much has been replaced, rebuilt, upgraded, it is going to be very tough to cover everything, but I am going to try and do it in bullet point form: The truck was completely stripped down to the bare frame and rebuilt with lots of new or reconditioned parts: Body: -Completely stripped and disassembled, body mounts rebuilt -New GM licensed front fenders, wheel wells and core support -Tailgate stripped and redone -Filled roof seams -Roof rack removed, holes not shaved but plugged, retained chrome rails -New non-wiper tinted rear glass, with defroster($100) -Paul's select front bumper with 2nd gen crystal lens foglamps($860 + $300 - fogs) -Black gloss firewall, wheel wells and core support -4 coat GM Dark Spiral grey metallic, 6 coat DuPont clear($7,377) -Heavy duty headlight harness -Custom drivers side relocated battery using stock cables Engine (Receipt for engine build: $8,514.05) -Stock block, bored and decked @ 4.030 -4 bolt mains, ARP studs -JE pistons -Eagle rods (stock oil pan was swedged for clearance) -Stock crank, magnafluxed, polished and internally balanced -Melling high flow oil pump -Edelbrock double roller timing chain -Comp cams 415 ( changed from 422, too much cam for the build) -Vortec heads, 3 angle valve job, light polishing, stainless 2.01/1.64 valves -Crane 1.6 Gold series self-aligning rockers -Vortec modified SyTy manifold, polished by RPM($450) -75# PTE injectors -Accel 8.8mm plug wires -Autolite race plugs -MSD blaster GM coil -BBK 58mm throttle body ($345) -HKS SSQV blowoff on custom throttle body mount($198 -ATR stainless headers, rewelded and ceramic coated by JetHot ($995 + $330) -Fluidamper neutral harmonic balancer - Accel 4.3 distributor ($299) -Garret GT-35-R turbo (ball bearing), .83 A/R SyTy housing, 3" compressor($1,555) -RPM air to air front mount intercooler($922.19) -PTE internal wastegate downpipe($675) -ATR full 3" high flow exhaust with cat($465) -Walbro 255lp/h in tank pump -Volvo electric fan with custom relay controller -JSM frame pads with Moroso solid mounts -195* thermostat, OEM Jimmy waterneck with fan control sensor installed Engine management -Low impedance injector driver modified ECM ($299) -Custom tune by Nolan running through moates switchable chip adapter -3 bar MAP Driveline -Built 700R4, 700Raptor shot peened input and output shafts, kevlar clutches, 5 gear planetaries($4,615.91) -9.5" Billet converter, 2650rpm stall($618) -Gilbert propshaft -rebuilt front / rear axles -Eaton 7.625 carbon positraction differential($416) -Rebuild rear end with Eaton Diff and all new bearings/seals($768.33) -B&M HiTec Trans cooler, 13 x 9", sans fan.

Needless to say this truck is ridiculously fast! The Paint is very nice, with a few minor imperfections(See pics). A few rock chips up front and right about the rear window there are a few small bubbles in the paint. The A/C blows ice cold and everything is working the way it should. All Lights, gauges, Etc work great. I have a file with almost every receipt from Day 1, including the original window sticker, Bill of Sale, maintenance receipts, ETC. I started adding up receipts for work done during and after the restoration, I got to around $46K and then stopped. That does not include the $1,000's of $$$'s in receipts that I have before around 2005. Whoever gets this truck is getting something very Special! Please see fresh pictures and below that are some restoration pics: RESTORATION PHOTOS |

J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Cadillac and Buick have taken the trophies in J.D. Power's latest Customer Service Index Study examining satisfaction with dealer service. Surveying more than 90,000 owners and lessees of 2009-2013 model-year cars, the study found that those with pre-paid maintenance packages were ten percent more likely to buy their next car from the same brand.
Dealer satisfaction scores have improved overall, Cadillac nabbed the luxury segment ahead of Audi and Lexus, taking the crown that Lexus held last year. Buick keeps the mass-market dealer satisfaction win in the family, finishing ahead of Volkswagen and last year's winner GMC. The study also found that service department use of tablets increased customer satisfaction, as did "best practices" like "providing helpful advice." Who knew?
You can find details on those and more findings in the press release below.
GMC SIerra Denali is ready to live the high life
Wed, 29 May 2013Between the information for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado High Country and the accidently leaked picture on GMC's consumer site, it didn't take much imagination to envision what the 2014 GMC Sierra Denali would be like. But here it is. Going on sale this fall, the 2014 Sierra Denali will continue to be the most luxurious pickup truck in the General Motors portfolio, while getting more power and technology than ever before.
Like previous models, the 2014 Sierra Denali stands out from lower Sierra models with a big cheese-grater chrome grille, 20-inch chrome wheels and body-color bumpers. Inside, the Denali gets plenty of leather with contrasting stitching, but this is where GMC really steps up from the Silverado High Country with real aluminum trim and a new customizable eight-inch driver display in the gauge cluster. Standard features will include heated and cooled front bucket seats, the Intellilink infotainment system with Bose audio, while the options list offers a Driver Alert Package (with forward collision alert and lane departure warning), a rear-seat entertainment system and a Z71 Off-Road Package.
As for power, the standard engine will be the 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 with its 355 horsepower, and the optional engine will be the new 6.2-liter V8. Although official power figures for the bigger engine aren't in yet, GM is finally putting some estimates on paper expecting around 420 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque to go with a 12,000-pound towing capacity. The new Sierra Denali will be available in either two- or four-wheel drive. Scroll down for more details listed in the official press release.
2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra debut all-new designs, three new engines
Thu, 13 Dec 2012General 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.
