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,

2015 Chevy Colorado to start at $20,100*, GMC Canyon at $20,995**
Tue, 05 Aug 2014General Motors has just announced pricing for its new midsize pickup trucks, the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon. Chevy's truck starts at $20,100, *not including $895 for destination, and the GMC starts at $20,995, **not including $925 for destination. These prices are for the base, extended cab models with the 200-horsepower, 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine.
Comparatively, these prices fit nicely with the $18,125 starting MSRP of the Toyota Tacoma and the $21,510 of the Nissan Frontier. Compared to the Colorado, the Canyon's extra $895 gets you niceties like LED running lamps, 16-inch alloy wheels, and a four-way power driver's seat.
Both trucks come standard with the 2.5-liter engine, and a more powerful, 305-hp 3.6-liter V6 will also be available. Pricing has not been announced for the upcoming diesel model, which is expected to launch for the 2016 model year.
Next-gen GM SUVs caught wearing new boxy bodies [w/video]
Wed, 15 May 2013We recently drove the brand-new 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and found it to be vastly improved compared to the outgoing model. And now that The General's pickup trucks have been squared away, it's time to focus our attention onto their passenger-friendly companions, the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon (above).
Our spy photographers have passed along a huge smattering of photos (and a video), showing the new SUVs out testing. Both the short- and long-wheelbase models were spied, and while the overall shape of the vehicles hasn't changed all that much, we expect the updates to be substantial. In addition to new powertrain options, like GM's new small-block V8, we expect the interiors of both SUVs to get massive makeovers, providing better materials throughout their cabins and quieter, more refined environments. We even hear that some trick new suspension developments may be in store for upper-end models.
Visually, these spy shots allow us to see a couple of new details on the SUVs' front and rear fascias, including LED running lamps on the Yukon and some interesting LED taillamp treatments. Of course, the obvious third party missing from this set of photos is the Cadillac Escalade, but as we reported earlier, GM is working to further differentiate the 'Slade from the rest of the fullsize SUV lineup, and is working to make the new model "much less ostentatious."
GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches
Thu, 20 Dec 2012General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.
