    '92 Blue/Gray Typhoon For Sale

    Re: '92 Blue/Gray Typhoon For Sale Others have commented on the red GMC letters, too. Only when I started hearing the questions did I notice that they are different from what other trucks have. How they got to be that way, I don't know.

    '92 Blue/Gray Typhoon For Sale

    Re: '92 Blue/Gray Typhoon For Sale I've also heard that GMC had some initial quality control problems with the Aspen Blue color, either in regards to orange-peel or premature peeling. Suffice it to say, this truck has neither of these problems. It may have been repainted by a dealer early on...

    Rim question

    Re: Rim question Hey dirtdemon - I like the look of the larger wheels on your truck. I've been thinking about going for a larger wheel/tire combo recently since I've been unhappy with the way the clearcoat on the wheels wears and all the extra space in the wheel well. Overall, is your...

    Driving in snow

    snow tires on steel rims? snow tires on steel rims? I'm one of those guys who will drive my Ty in the winter, and have had mixed results with snow. All season tires on stock rims give me plenty of traction, but poor control when braking or cornering. I'd like to try out some snow tires, but...

    NJ, NY, PA, CT, MA, VT, NH, ME, RI, going to NATS...

    Caravaning Caravaning Hey guys - it's about time I start planning for the Nats! While it'd be a lot of fun to convoy out with you, it doesn't look like my route is going to be compatible. I'll probably be riding out with my dad on Thursday morning, dropping him off in Ohio off of I-70...

    VIN information from GMC

    Hey guys - a while back, I remember hearing of someone who has connections with GM and might be able to get the factory history of specific Syclones and Typhoons. I'm very interested in this, as I understand my Ty was used in some Executive program at GM before being sold to the original owner...

    Periodic squeak when turning

    Thanks for the ideas. Checked to see if it was the power steering by turning the steering wheel while idling still. No noise. I had the differential fluids changed about 10 months ago - while I haven't checked them since, I'd be surprised if enough has leaked out since. I've noticed that...

    noises when shocks compress?

    I've got this squeaking/groaning noise whenever I slow down or compress the shocks, too. I get rid of it by spraying all the rubber bushings I can see under the front end of the truck with some Mobil 1 lubricant (like WD 40 - in a spray can). The stuff gets rid of all the noises, and lasts for...

    Periodic squeak when turning

    Hi guys - got a new noise on the Ty, and I'm hoping someone else has experienced it, too. When I take a left turn, I hear a periodic, high-pitched squealing. The faster I'm going, the shorter the period of the squealing is. It's got something to do with the front left wheel, but what? Is it...
