Re: TYPHOON #0147 STOLEN! That would explain the dent that was in the front passenger-side fender when I bought it! ;)

Re: TYPHOON #0147 STOLEN! Five years later and reminiscing about the Ty, I thought I would see if there was ever any updates on it. What a long strange trip that Ty, my old Ty, has been on. To think it sold at a State Auction less 10 miles from where I was living at the time....ARGH!! But...

Found a white/grey SoGT for sale about 2 miles from my house. It is VERY rough. It would need a whole new bed, drivers door and lots of other rust issues. But,thought I would post anyway. It has 169K on it and he is asking $1400. I can get contact info in anyone is interested. I can get...

Hey Jimmy, I wonder if Tom know's that the truck was found? I wonder how bad it got tore up.

If you need a shifter cable, I have a new one still in the GM Wrapper - $125 + actual shipping from northern IN.

Re: Thanks for the sentiments, guys Re: Thanks for the sentiments, guys I can understand being very angry about your Ty being stolen, but what you are implying upsets me. Still, I really hope you get your Ty back in one piece. I don't check this board everyday, I just started getting back...

I never ran it at a track, so I have no official times, only what DM gave me, and I think low 14's were the best I saw too. Pretty quick for a stock Ty. And yes, the quirks of that Ty can drive you crazy.

Tom, I'm over the grief of losing my Ty, so I thought I would see how things were going for you on here. Anyway, does this boost drop happen at all speeds/gears? Its not during the 2-3 shift is it? I would think that would be normal to see the boost drop when it shifts, maybe not.

Another former owner of Ty 147 Tom, I assume you are getting your boost readings using the stock gauge? I can't believe no one else chimed in to say how inaccurate it is. Anytime I had a boost quesion the first thing they asked was if I was getting my readings from the stock gauge and then...

DAMN IT.....called to make sure the truck was still there...someone just put $100 on it. I guess it wouldn't start (said it needed "spark plugs"). Anyone who would put money down on a truck that doesn't run must know how rare it is. I hope it is someone from the list. I guess that's what I...

Trying to decide if I should by Sonoma GT #674 White/Grey. It has 150K miles and some rust, interior is supposedly "perfect". I haven't seen the vehicle yet, so I can't really say how good of condition it is in. Clean Carfax. $1800......

Has 150K miles and it sounds like some serious rust: hole in one of the cab corners, some big blisters around the wheel wells. Carfax came back with about 4 or 5 owners but it was a clean title, no wrecks. The wife gave the go ahead to buy it if I want to. I have to drive 2.5 hours to check...

Thanks, that worked. Now I just have to decide it I want to buy this thing.

Anyone had a problem running Sonoma GT VINS on CARFAX? I get this one to work: 1GDCS14W1N0820702 But I tried several others and CARFAX says they are not valid: Specifically: 1GDCS14W1N0820674 I am just substituting the last 3 digits, so is it possible that Sonoma GTs don't have the same...

130K miles, some rust, interior perfect....$1800 still sounds like a good deal, anyone think the same? Its about 2.5 hours from me, so I can't really hop over and take a look at it.
