GMC Typhoon Reviews

Normal things, nothing out of character.

I have acquired this fabulous vehicle since my Father's death in December, and am having difficulty locating a rear driveshaft for it. Other than that, it has been quite an awesome vehicle. If they made them again, I'd have one! It has proven to be one very quick, sturdy, strong vehicle! Thanks for any input.

Water pump went at 25,550 miles.

Transmission mounts replaced after purchased; no problems with them; just replaced with better brand.

Syclone; not Typhoon. Tough to find in good condition, but great truck. It's quick, handles great, and drives normally until you put your foot down. It's a gas guzzler. The interior looks just like any other Sonoma, except for the gauges, which include a very unreliable boost gauge. Truck is totally stock, and I'll probably leave it that way.

I've only had one problem with my Ty since I got it. The ECU shorted out and I had to get a new one.

The Alternator had to be replaced too, but that's to be expected it's 12 years old.

The Typhoon, even though built only in 92 and 93 is still to date one of the fastest production vehicles ever made. Definately the fastest SUV. I live in Alaska and most people drive trucks here and they all think their truck is the fastest thing on the road. That is until they get a taste of the typhoon. It's a total sleeper 98% of people have no idea what it is until I explain it to em. This thing is a blast to drive and a joy to own. If you get a chance I definitely recommend buying one. It's nice knowing you can pretty much smoke anything on the road.

I had a few touch ups on the truck at first. The previous owner didn't really know what he was doing so fixed all the little things that were wrong and it is an every day driver.

I will try to put this in a few words.

Fast, comfortable, reliable, sport utility vehicle.

Developed somewhat severe knock retard at around 50,000 miles.

Used as a daily driver, it is beginning to rust under cladding.

Stock air duct cracked on both ends, GM discontinued the part so I had to hunt one down.

I dreamed of owning a Typhoon for years. Turbocharged to 15psi, full time all-wheel drive, 285 horses with over 400 foot/pounds of torque, this is a dream machine. A sport utility that can out-accelerate and out-perform most sports cars, this limited run truck is an absolute blast to drive. I have every intention of keeping this truck for many many years, with hopes of adding its older pickup brother, the Syclone, as well as possibly a second Ty, to my lot.
