Depending on what year your truck is, i know that my 1994 has a brake light switch that every now and then sticks on. this switch is connected to the brake pedal and the fire wall. the switch could be faulty. just a suggestion

Unfortunately, I believe the design of the oil cooler lines has not changed. On the other hand, I believe the intake manifold gasket has been redesigned. Each repair is about $300. Good luck with your truck.

The OBD II Code Reader did NOT find any trouble codes.
A smart suggestion from a co-worker (ex-GM Tech)
was to take one of the Fuel Pump relays and switch it around with another relay.
So, I tried that...nothings changed.
The hunt continues.

Both of my tailgate straps/cables broke at the same time, I needed both left/right sides and the dealership here in Augusta, Ga. wanted to charge me $148.00 for the part and I needed 2 of them, one for each side. I searched the "net" and found a dealership "Beyer Bros" on Google and bought the parts for like $33.00 apiece. Installation is fairly quick and easy although may require some patience untill you figure how to go about it! I'd be glad to help iof needed etc. doug. dgilis001 comcast.net

on Sonoma /s-10 trucks, tailgate cables frequently break and it's not a matter of just replacing a 10 dollar piece of cable. GM has allowed their so called engineers to design a non-serviceable unit wheras' you have to purchase the latch assembly that is a one piece unit in order to obtain the piece of cable. It's rather ridiculous.

looks like my fuel pump is not getting power.
Any ideas why?
Here are my previous posts:
My 1999 S10 has been a perfect angel for all of its 201,000+ miles.
Monday, I stopped for a soda on my way to work.
When I got back to my truck, it wouldn't start.
"Clickity clickity clickity" is all I heard.
Dead Battery...right?
Right...so I got a jump from another car.
Both Starter & Engine would turn over, but it will not start.
I had it towed home.
There, I noticed the Fuel Pump wasn't priming at start-up.
How can I tell if the Fuel Pump Relay is bad?
The initial problem was a dead battery...is the Alternator causing the shut down?
When I turn over the engine...the volt meter only reads 9
Think an OBDII code reader point out the trouble?

Where the electrical connector plugs in at the top of the tank is a known problem on the trucks. Check for corroded or burnt pins.

S-10 vs S-15 Gripe
by sonomaguy

I don't know if anyone else out there has this same gripe but I need to vent . I know the S-10 and the Sonoma is practacly the same thing, but it isn't exactly the same thing. It bugs the dickens out of me when someone refers to my Sonoma as an S-10. It isn't an S-10, it's an S-15 already! I have parked next to a few S-10s and the Sonoma is a bit taller and leaner than an S-10. Maybe the parts are the same and the S-10 is more popular, but quit referring the Sonoma to being an S-10 ok? There...I feel better.

I buy S-10 parts and put them on my Somoma, the badge is different. Except for grill and some other trim pieces they are the same. I wish they would have only one site, the S-10 gets more hits.
