I had to take off to Tampa this past Wednesday to fill in for the one service manager who went on vacation next 3 weeks. If there are not any forced outages at any of the power plants between now and Fri I'm going to head back to Miami on Friday night for the weekend. If you guys opt for...

I'm going to clean up the truck and go tonight 5/14 early to Tower Shops get a spot. Will try an arrive at 5:30. Got a extra day off here as outage seaons just slowed so might as well give it a shot. Will try and park nearby the Lightning guys unless the GN guys show up tonight. Dont know on...

Tower Shops is actually pretty good idea, I took the truck up there right around Christmas and got to park with the Grand National guys. One guy had a GNX. All very nice and talkative. Went back another week right around New Years and parked by myself, maybe if I'd been there a little earlier...

Update / Question Got the inner covering off and pulled the pin to give the wastegate 3 full turns. Test drove it and it did seem to help especially on the street and below ~50mph, can't get it to overboost anymore. Runs really nice. However; on the highway it can still occur. Also have a...

Internal waste gate was / is extremely tight to cycle. Did stroke it a few times and seems better now. Took it for a drive and now can hear when it opens however it is so close to the fuel cut mark so I'm going to try a few turns. One thing though, is there any tricks or tools for getting...

Thanks guys, Yesterday I found and roughly got a new VDO boost gage intalled showing the full range. Now I can see a little more accurately what's happening. And sure enough fuel cuts out right at ~15psi. Now my biggest dilemna is deciding what to do now. I'd be really happy with just...

Hi, newbie here for the most part, I'm having some trouble today with my Syclone. I had the truck inspected up here in Atlanta, GA for emissions and was thinking that the old cat wasn't maybe up to the task, however; I passed the emissions this morning because they didn't put it on a dyno and...

Thanks Big Al, Finally got the hitch installed. Worked like a champ. After looking at it harder, I saw how much work would be involved if I'd tried to fabricate something myself. The spare is just in the way along with the roll pan. Would probably been a PIA. Anyways, here's a pic of...

Thanks guys, My biggest thing with the trucks that I've had in the past has been being worried about the rear getting loose in the rain on the highway. But you know with the AWD it's been pretty amazing the first few weeks tooling around. Completely a much safer feel. Other thing that's been...

Side question, What's the set up for the tires size wise? Also where did you guys find to be the place place to order the rims or replicas? Many thanks...

Replacing the original factory tires on my new Syclone. Any good recommendations for a basic all-weather tire to go with? Will be doing mostly highway driving and spend time in the rain, Many thanks! Pete

You're right. Thing is believe it or not I use the Syclone for work and as I travel from plant to plant my bicycle is a life saving with distances I've got to cover. I save the bed for tools, suitcase, and misc bs, Hopefully Als will work out otherwise looks like I'm going to have to measure...

Brand new owner of a Sy looking for a recommendation for a bolt on hitch only to be used to carry a bicycle around. I've searched the archive and heard some talk about hidden hitches and not being able to tow more than a jet ski. I'm curious to know if anyone knows of a specific name or brand...

Thanks Gary, I bought the carfax record and it came back clean for the 1GDCT14Z7M8800901 VIN, only 5 records. Two owners where the guy in Miami only bought it last Spring from the original owner. He had all the old emissions test from the original owner and had to get one when he registered...

Thanks Jimmy, I didn't know about checking the IC pump. Forgive me but what is an IC pump? Is it related to the emissions system? Pete

Thank you sir, Sounds good I called SS and they seemed pretty good and had an idea what was going on. I'll give it a shot. The owner will take it over some time this week and they'll give it an eyeballing. It drove strong, only thing I can think about is double checking the compression. Any...

:D Thanks MyTyphoon93 Yep, it's the one in the autotrader as far as I can confirm. Right now I'm working over in Fort Myers, 7-12s on nights, but did manage to go see the truck yesterday, Sunday. I agreed with the guy I'd take it assuming the title was clean and a compression test was done...

Hello everyone, I'm looking to purchase a 1991 GMC Syclone in Miami FL, however; am from Atlanta, GA. Any recommendations for a solid mechanic familiar with the truck to check it out mechanically in Miami FL, Many many thanks, Peter Jensen I can be reached on email at: peter.jensen@ps.ge.com
