You're bidding on a 1993 GMC Sonoma extra-cab that I've owned for approx. 9 years. I bought the truck from a Copart auction locally in Baton Rouge, LA. I had been looking for this year model truck with low mileage for several years. I had owned a 1982 S-10 with a 2.8 V6 that I drove through high school & I had aspirations of shoehorning a V8 into it; unfortunately, I sold it when I started college and my plan never materialized. However, I was determined to make my dream project a reality at some point. This truck is the reality. When I purchased it from Copart auctions, It was a one-owner vehicle with 66,000 miles that had sustained sheet metal damage in an accident. It had damage to the hood, bumper, radiator core support, & right front fender all of which I replaced with GMC factory parts. Because it was going to be my daily driver for many years, I was very particular and wanted it to keep its look as close to stock as possible. The hood & right fender cost over $500 from GMC, whereas aftermarket parts would've cost considerably less at $150. The perfectly- running 4.3 V6 was yanked as soon as I got it home. the undercarriage was repainted semi-gloss black & the drivetrain was replaced with a 1995 LT1 350 & 700 R4 auto tranny from a Buick Roadmaster that I had purchased from the same auction. It had just over 76,000 miles on the motor & transmission. The computer was sent to Performance wiring in Florida where it was retuned & a custom-built wiring harness was made specific for the truck. The engine was torn down, freshened up & a GMC hot cam kit was added to it. The linkage was able to be mated to the column shifter which is another item I wanted to keep as stock. It was repainted its original red and silver using basecoat and clear coat. I had a bedliner sprayed in and added new rims and tires. The only other non-stock item I added was posi-traction. Other than hearing it run, the only sure-fire way to differentiate it from any other S-10 or Sonoma is the aluminum LT1 5.7 liter emblems on each fender. It has power steering & power brakes and the A/C works! It has a slow leak in the condenser & it needs recharging every summer of which I've not done to this point. This was my daily driver for 5-6 years. At the time, I owned a Family Practice Medical clinic which is literally less than 1 1/2 miles from my home, which is why very few miles were put on it. It has never been raced or abused. Now, why am I selling it? I'm a long way from my high school days and now have 2 of my own of which are both in high school. My oldest son is 18 and has been asking me about the truck a lot lately and wants to trade his Honda Accord for it. The truck is as tame or as mean as you want it to be & quite frankly, not the vehicle of choice for an 18 y/o. My daughter will be 16 in September and I'm gonna need to get her a vehicle as well, which will be a total of 5 for the household; considering we have a 3 car garage I'm fast running out of room. I have no room for it & literally drive it around the block every other weekend to keep the battery charged. I didn't decide to sell it without a lot of thought. Its time someone else can enjoy it. Its very reliable and I wouldn't hesitate to drive it to Egypt and back. I don't have an ebay account and this is my wifes account & its hooked to her email. If you have additional questions about the truck feel free to email me at skikstew@aol.com.
Good Luck,

GM recalls full-size truck, SUVs and vans over faulty shifter mechanism
Mon, 07 Jan 2013Twelve different General Motors vehicles from the 2013 model year, up to 54,686 units in total, are being recalled over two potential issues with their steering columns. The models in question, all full-size trucks, SUVs or vans, are the: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The affected vehicles were built with a fractured parking lock cable or "a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly." As a consequence, they could shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied or with the key removed or in the off position.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall should begin on January 17. GM will notify owners, at which time they can take their vehicles to their dealers for repair free of charge. Have a look at the bulletin below for more information.
GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say
Fri, 05 Apr 2013The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.
GM recalls 51k Enclave, Traverse, Acadia crossovers over fuel gauge inaccuracy
Mon, 05 May 2014With all eyes fixed on General Motors in the wake of the ignition recall debacle, the auto giant has been carefully calling in a wide array of vehicles to fix anything and everything that could prove problematic. Just the other day it issued two separate recalls - one concerning the Cadillac SRX and another its heavy-duty pickups - and now it is issuing another.
This time the vehicles in question are the Buick Enclave, Chevy Traverse and GMC Acadia, three fullsize crossovers based on GM's Lambda platform. In an estimated 51,640 units manufactured between March 26 and August 15, 2013, the engine control module has been found to incorrectly display the level of fuel in the tank.
As a result, owners are being notified to bring their vehicles in to their local dealers to have the ECU reflashed to fix the problem. View the full details in the announcement below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
