Also thanks to GMC for the old commercial pics/vids and training video material.

Gm needs to produce something like this. They keep pushing the “off road” like if everyone spends all their time on the dirt and rocks. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, we need the SS or the extreme packages again.

[@emonicky412]

seeing your comment i do agree with you. I just wanna ask outta curiosity is what about chevy's baja like they did for the s10 baja

[@jackdaniels2657]

Gm needs to be smart and do everything dodge is doing. No more of these collectable cars I swear the old syclome only had 2900 ever built like how's a company supposed to stay in buisness when they make stupid decisions like that. If they was smart they would've made million of them and sold a million of them opposed to only 2900. Oh but it's a collectable, like collectables don't make a company more money in the future as a matter of fact that's how a company loses money. Stupid

[@healthiestsickness8646]

@@jackdaniels2657 and i would add something to your statement, by being so much low produced the one that still lives by today doesn’t show much on the road because there are oem pieces of them that you will just never find, so collectors wont take the risk of using them much as they are mean to because they know they wont be able to find oem pieces if they break, but when mass produced you will still be able to find pieces decades later.

cabin room aside and i guess a bed ... but i seriously will never understand the street pickup. Im building a high top conversion van that can scoot like a Raptor with so much ridiculous luxury its ridiculous not to mention chicks that are 5'7 and less can stand up in it.. Street vans I get. This stuff is just silly. Make an el camino thats lighter lol

[@LT-jc4qb]

@Tony Pepperoni why give a van that's more prone to a rollover the kind of power a Raptor makes? Also, to spend that kind of money on a van, why not just start with a small RV with better starting foundations?

The Syclone was only built for the 1991 model year. The Typhoon (with the same 4.3 V6 turbo, was built in '92 and '93 and was based on the S15 Blazer 2 Dr SUV body style.

[@bdrgarage7039]

Ha, yes BUT 3 or 4 Syclones were built for 1992. TRUE, and a couple Typhoons were built in 1991.

AWD is what made the originals so bad ass, I knew a bunch of people that dropped a small block Into those old S-10's. And they looked and sounded cool as hell but that AWD would be halfway down the track before they even hooked up lol

[@bdrgarage7039]

AWD plus the turbo!!! But kids at my school were smart and ran 4wd trucks with superchargers and smoked the stock syclones and typhoons.

[@loriquick2027]

I have a new 2023 GMC SLT. on certain parts of the interstate that they’ve re-done from last summer and fall when my new truck gets on there it’s like it’s kind of bouncing me back-and-forth. I’m wondering if this is because the part that they’ve redone is not smooth yet, and it’s got like lines in it, as soon as I get off of any new part that they re-done on interstate my truck just goes back to normal. It’s so uncomfortable to drive because it almost feels like you could lose control. Could it be the lane assist? Any ideas you guys have? Please let me know.

[@ChrisDIYerOklahoma]

Back in 1990/1, GM was testing the Syclone in Dearborn, MI. "Dialing" in the power. They had to back it down in power due to tire failures, cooling, and driveline stress. My neighbor was one of the engineers who tested it. TBH, most were confused at the concept back then. Buying an expensive S-15 small farm truck for what? The public didn't buy into it at the time. Nowadays, people are spending huge money for pickups...so, adding a Sierra Syclone into the mix makes sense to me.

[@morebeer4435]

I remember going to the drag strip and watching the cyclones drive around the water for the burnout area. You knew it was gonna be a good run. It didnt disappoint. If i remember correctly, it ran in the low 12's but it was mostly stock. Only slicks at the time. The cyclone and the buick grand national (same engine maybe) were the boss of factory dominance at the time. What a great time to have been a part of that era.

[@ericbrenner690]

You misspelled Syclone. Cyclone was made by Mercury.

[@davek88]

I've ONLY owned GMC trucks. This Cyclone rendering looks wikkid as ****! Well done👏🏻

[@shawndavis8856]

I would certainly have one. My first truck was a 89 Sonoma 4.3. I’ve always wanted a Syclone but the prices over the last few years have skyrocketed. I’m currently looking for a C7 Z06 but I would rather have something like this if it came with the supercharged 6.2 and a awd system.

[@robertdaniels484]

Just make sure they don't have a AFM DOD engine in it. It's a costly repair or engine replacement.

[@robertdaniels484]

It's most new one an after 07 they put AFM engines in them. Have poor engine design up to 2023's includes lifter issues, oil pumps, misfires valves sticking. Several Oil sencers.

I’ve been hoping for a reg cab short box, 2 or 4wd with the Turbo 4 for awhile. Give it base options and some fun wheels and decals. Low price and fun. I’d probably get one to go along with my Silverado ZR2. Share it with my sons. Basically I want a reg cab shirt box low option elevation. 😂

The 3 unaccounted for: Barrett Jackson sold 1 (or maybe 2?) quite a while ago when GM had to dispose of all their test mules/proto types. They had a warehouse full of one offs so they decided to sell them on BOS only not to be licenced. Unfortunately a LOT more were simply sent to the shredder.

[@stevevedell5642]

Looks cool, but I have a hard time believing they would put the LT4 motor in there since they didn't in the ZR2 Silverado. Considering the Ram TRX and Ford Raptor have supercharged and/or turbo-charged engines and GM didn't step up and do that to the ZR2, it is hard to envision them doing this to the Syclone. I would love to be wrong, but I don't see it happening...

[@theariesexperiment4642]

I can't tell you how many Pony heads that monster claimed when it hit the roads. I was working at West Chevrolet on the "Motor Mile" in Alcoa, Tennessee from 94 to 2000. My best friend from high school, bought a used Syclone with 3800 miles and a sneaky-pete 100 shot of nitrous tucked away beautifully. That thing ate EVERYTHING. The only car I ever saw beat it in 99, was a highly upgraded AWD Eagle Talon. They had gobs of money in that thing. It was stupid fast. He beat that truck by a school bus. I was floored,....and $120 in the red.

[@matthewmohri9990]

Kind of drooling at the thought of a new Syclone. The OG Syclone and Typhoon were GG as hell. Or they could use rear twin turbos and match them up to the V8. I like the idea of rear mounted turbos b/c they can stay cooler than having them in the engine bay with a V8. GM Probably won't do this but it's a thought. The concept has been used on Corvettes whose owners decided to go turbo.

[@brianneston8575]

It's nice to have the regular I saw on some pages that says it comes in a row regular cab a double cab and crew cab

[@joshthemediocre7824]

I think they should do a lower cost version of the Syclone with just the body and wheels with the 2.7 turbo. It's quite a motor in the standard cab short bed configuration, super light but still very powerful. It's as much truck as anyone needs, they just don't know it until they drive one.

[@fredeb67]

This is great. Just make sure it is on bags or has a nose lift so it can get over speed bumps.

Hopefully, they bring back the Syclone. Could it be based off the GMC Canyon midsized pickup, perhaps? Could it have 400 horsepower turbocharged V-6? It's possible, and maybe two Syclone versions for both off-road and racetrack!

[@BrownsMechanics]

I agree, I think it would be cool to use the Canyon platform instead of the sierra. It would stick close to the roots of the original truck. The lv3 4.3 is also very capable for power, 600 hp 700 lb ft with a stage 2 cam and like 15 lbs of boost I believe.
