I have recently bought a GMC Typhoon from 1992 (#1551) as my first car/truck. Before I moved to Dubai I was looking for which car I should buy and my dad found a GMC Typhoon and suggest that I should buy it. I was a bit sceptical since I'm not really a big fan of SUV's and was looking to buy a Corvette or a Camaro instead. My dad told me I should at least see the Typhoon in person, so we contacted the seller. When I saw the Typhoon in person I knew that was the car I wanted. The seller also had a GMC Syclone but it wasn't for sale.
Things I have done so far:
-Removed the tint from the windows, since it was hard to look out the windows when it was dark.
-Replaced the coolant temperature sensor, since It was hard to start when the engine was cold.
-Replaced all the instrument light bulbs with LED lights
-Removed a lowering kit - Since the truck currently has 20-inch wheels on it and when driving over a speed bump the rubber from the wheels would hit the cladding and break it
-Replaced all the vacuum hoses
-Replaced both front discs and front pads
-Replaced air filter with a K&N
-Replaced all the shocks with Beltech Street Performance, since the old ones didn't work
-Replaced the distributor cap, rotor & spark plug wires with MSD
-Replaced spark plugs with NGK
Things I'm planning to do in the future:
-Solve the issue when driving the instrument cluster that just goes out from time to time
-Flush the radiator since the previous owner just used water instead of coolant inside the radiator is rusted
-Buying new wheels that are 17inch
-Putting in a 0411 PCM,
-Replacing the exhaust (from the Cat) with 3" stainless steel & Borla muffler
-Installing a water methanol injection kit.
I would appreciate if you guys have more mods that would be nice to the truck.
