1990 GMC Topkick Dumptruck Start Up, Engine, and In Depth Tour

In this video I give a full in depth tour of a 1990 GMC Topkick Dumptruck. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this truck while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it sounds under acceleration. A thorough tour/review of this truck designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

meh, city people don't realize how powerful these old GM trucks are, but just trucks but everything american made before 1995 they last a long time, and the sound they make is heck of a lot nicer than any modern car/truck, nothing tops an American v8... I bought a 1986 GMC Vandura cargo van and 1985 GMC topkick brand new from the dealer for my business here in Kuwait, both are running strong and are being worked with minimal wear and tear..

We had one with air brakes, the way the pump was set up was horrible. It would constantly rattle them out, one time it broke the bolt holes in the head that held the pump up. Easy enough fix, we just swapped the heads around (by the way, the heads on those 366 bb's were fucking heavy). That's when we figured out the factory bolts weren't using up half the threads they could have. Put in the right length bolts and it was great from then on out.

[@strangerreality]

Haha, oh I love how you are so kind to these beat up old cars Kyle! I think you are a very strong person for being able to do that and not just let opinions or the overall state of the car make you say anything negative about it! (Unless it was a neglected repo... LOL)

The second generation of the Chevrolet Kodiak/GMC TopKick was introduced for 1990. Under the GMT530 architecture, all GM medium-duty trucks were consolidated under the Kodiak/TopKick nomenclature, with C/K shifting to consumer-derived vehicles (pickup trucks). Following the 1986 joint venture between GM and Volvo, GMC ended production of the General, Astro, and Brigadier, leaving the Class 6-7 Kodiak/TopKick as the largest vehicles produced by GM. In a break from the single engine offering of the first generation Kodiak/TopKick, GMT530 adopted the powertrain line of the 1973-1989 medium-duty C/K trucks. Gasoline engines were offered as standard equipment, with diesel engines as an option. The standard gasoline engine was a 6.0L fuel-injected V8, with an optional carbureted 7.0L V8 (replaced by a 7.4L V8 in 1991

I've put 650,000 on mine. never weighs less than 25k. 14 hours of work straight without being shut off 6 days a week for 10 years. all it's needed are oil changes, plugs, wires, ignition parts, and a clutch. honestly the best rig I've ever had. takes cheap 87 octane and parts to rebuild it can be had at your local parts store instead of commercial parts houses.

[@plumbingstuffinoregon2471]

If you're saying that, you've obviously never operated one. That small V8 is actually plenty of power for most of the loads you'd be hauling in a truck like this.

1990 was the first year for those generation GMC & Chevy medium duty models, but ones with the school bus bodies on the other hand weren't produced yet until 1993 because the previous generation buses were still in production up through 1991. They skipped over 1992 before they began producing the next generation buses.
