#63 of 80 Re: Hello & Welcome! [KarenS] by jondell Apr 05, 2006 (4:43 am)
Replying to: KarenS (Feb 20, 2002 9:54 am) My name is Jondell and I am the owner of a Red 2003 GMC Sonoma ZR2. Not having looked at the speedometer for a while I'll hazard that it has just over 31,500 or so miles. I've been really happy with the vehicle but between work and now having a 6 month old son I have yet to take my baby off the paved path!   I purchased this beauty in 2004 and have used it mostly on stop and go traffic on I-5 in the Portland area to go to work and for driving up to Seattle a mear 3 times!   As I mentioned I have a 6 month old and even though I can turn off the side airbag I'm looking at selling my trusty truck in order to afford a more fuel efficient and family friendly vehicle before the summer fuel prices kick in .   If your interested in pictures and other information just send me an email. Of course it may take a day or two to respond with my hands full w/ the new son!!   Thanks!   Jondell

Replying to: KarenS (Feb 20, 2002 9:54 am) Hello KarenS! I am the proud female owner of a black '03 Sonoma. Baby is an extended cab, 4x4, wide-stance Highrider (hence my name). So far for mileage I have put on 125,000 kms. I am the 1st and only owner of Baby. While I have had some problems, I love my truck and will not give Baby up. I was browsing through the content and decided to join. I have 2 questions - is this mainly an American site, or are there other Canadians also? Is there a forum to post pix of our rides?

Replying to: getreal1968 (Sep 20, 2005 5:10 am) I had the same problem with my 92 4.3z. In my case it was a sensor called "EGR Vacuum Solenoid". I'm not familiar with the 95's as to wether or not they have one but it might be worth looking into.
#68 of 80 GMC Sonoma High Rider by slacker69boy Oct 28, 2006 (9:31 am)
im looking into a sonoma high rider but im very unsure about GM products bc of my girlfriends Cobalt so what does everyone think about the Sonoma versus the Toyota Tacoma?
#69 of 80 '99 Sonoma Ext Cab by dave8697 Jul 22, 2007 (8:00 pm)
I bought almost 3 months ago with 88000 miles. It is a 4.3L V6 ext cab with auto and 2WD. It is my 3rd GM truck. I bought a 4 cyl 2000 S10 that I traded for a "01 Silverado that I also still have. I have only put 3k,5k, and 19k on the 3 trucks so I have never had anything wear out or break. The 4 cyl auto S10 was used for 10 mile drive to work and I probably should have kept it. I spent $14k more to trade it for a Silverado Ext cab. I call it the $14000 back seat. The silverado gets 3 mpg less than the 4 cyl did. The '01 Silverado had a career change when my commute went up by 36 miles, each way. It started sitting around a lot and still does. I had the '99 Sonoma offered to me for very good price, $2500. I decided to get it for my 14 year old. I'll use it in the mean time but 3 things have changed since I got it. My older son has started to drive it instead of his Mustang. To my suprise the Sonoma got 26 mpg on the trip back to midwest from Fla, where I got it. The 3rd thing is I fixed the a/c by just charging it. Then it continued to suprise by getting 25 mpg in local driving. It is my 3rd GM with a 4.3L V6, but the other ones get 22 and 23 on trips and high teens local. My friend with a 2000 Grand Am 4 cyl gets the same 26 mpg hwy as the Sonoma. I have 184k miles on the oldest of my 3 4.3L GM's. It is next in line to get rid of but I have not had to do much to it. I expect to get a relatively trouble free next 100,000 miles from the Sonoma. The Sonoma, being from S. fla has not been in salt and was undercoated when new. The undercarriage is nearly rust free. I have gone through it and fixed a few things in it (like charging the a/c and new front brake pads), and the only 2 things left are the alignment and the instrument backlighting.
#70 of 80 Looking for a 91 Cameo Front Bumper Cover by mile51 Sep 26, 2008 (11:08 pm)
Hey Forums, I'm looking for a 1991 Cameo S-10 front bumper cover with round fog lamps. My landlord sent a couple yahoos over to the house to clean up the property some and they accidentally threw mine away. (It was sitting on top of two trash cans after getting a small crack repaired.) Doh! Anyway Here's a link to a page I whipped up with pictures of each year they were produced. http://www.uhtc.net/~polar/cameo.php I also noticed that this truck doesn't have it's own area here.....mods? They're getting rare and are as old as the internet.   Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have one or know where to get one..   Mile51 Replies to this message: lawdog30 (Feb 10, 2009 6:54 am)
#71 of 80 New owner of 01 Crew Cab 4X4 by markus5 Jan 06, 2009 (7:03 pm)
Found this vehicle in my local Ford dealer recently as a replacement for my wife's 95 Explorer. I have been favorably impressed with the drive train. The 4.3 feels very much like an 8 cyl. because at 65 mph it is doing under 2000 rpm, Is that correct ? The vehicle is very well equiped with trailer towing package. Does anybody know how to find out if it is equipped with positraction or traction lock on the rear end. It seems to go through the snow without any drama. It does also have the very unreliable gas gauge often cited as a problem.
#72 of 80 Hello Karen by junior83 Feb 08, 2009 (12:08 am)
I have recently purchased a 95 sonoma highrider off the original owner,with the factory window sticker.I love this truck,black,ext cab,4x4 on the floor,4.3 cpi,373 posi rear.the truck is in very nice shape,except fot the clear coat cracking on the hood,but a new 4'' cowl hood is gonna fix that.mt problem is the gentleman sold it to me for $900 after wanting $2400 for it mths ago.when i went to pick it up,he had it running to charge the batttery from sitting,(cough,cough.)the next morning in 20 degree ohio coldness,the engine had a rod knock,i have put over 1000 miles on it and every morning,same knocking noise,until it warms up,then it quites down,reminds me of a diesel..haha,i believe it is a worn wrist pin,as a rod bearing would've surely went by now.but like I said,i love this lil trick,and for what i paid,i'm not complaining.my only grip is i cannot find the 4x4 shift cable anywhere,and i'm tired of crawling under it to put it in and out of 4x4.GM wants $85.00 for it.
