1991 GMC Syclone #12

Description

The time has come to let my Sy go. I bought it 5 years ago after wanting one since 1991 of course. Same old story though, too many toys and I just can’t afford them all. It has been a high desert truck for all of it’s time from what I can tell. It’s not perfect but it is an excellent driver that is mechanically sound and can be driven daily. I have put a little over 12,000 miles on it in my 5 years and the odo quit last year right before I put it away for the winter. It isn’t heavily modded but I am a tinkerer and I like to re-engineer things that need to be repaired or replaced anyway.

The following is a list of what has been done to this truck:

· Repainted exterior and cladding – Bed and jambs were not done

· ZR1 wheels with fairly new Mickey Thompson tires – original wheels and caps will be included along with a used set of Nitto tires if you want them

· 3 inch Magnaflow exhaust with high flow cat

· I was told that the trans was recently remanufactured right before I bought it and it shifts nice and firm

· Adjustable piggy-back PROM with 3 bar map setup and gauge.

· Valve seals were replaced

· New steering components, urethane bushings and 4 wheel alignment

· New A/C system with R-12

· Rear differential rebuilt with all new OE components

· Engine torque strap

· Intercooler scoop and metal pipes replaced with rubber hoses

· RPM cold air intake

· RPM braided steel turbo oil and coolant lines

· RPM braided steel brake booster hose

· Plastic belly pan replaced with die cut aluminum shield that has Syclone name cut into it

· New OE fuel injector harness

· New OE vacuum harness

· HKS blow off valve

· FF Dynamics twin electric cooling fans with variable speed adjustable controller

· Kenwood media deck with aftermarket speakers and a Bazooka tube for bass

· Belltech rear sway bar

· Walbro 255 ltr/hr fuel pump

· Full tune-up using Taylor Cable brass terminal cap, rotor and spark plug wires

· New starter, alternator, water pump and serpentine belt

· New weatherstrips and glass runs

· New ignition and door locks

· New fog lamps, tail lamps and front turn signalsN

· DEI remote door lock set-up

This truck is not perfect and should be considered a driver. Being a desert truck the dash pad and console lid are cracking but I covered them both and I haven't noticed either in years. I like to own fun toys that I’m not afraid to drive anywhere but are reliable and perform better than designed.
