Pretty lucky you didn't get more injured.   One thing that's maybe not noticed is, I wanted to see what value your posted shots were, and captured them to desk top. To my surprise they are 1280 x 960.   So to anyone who wants a closer look at your truck, just open them from desktop to view full size.   Now to figure out how to post a shot of mine.
#33 of 61 Here's My 00 Sonoma 4x4 @ 180,000 by philscbx Nov 13, 2007 (5:29 am)
He just had surgery for new radiator and cooler fittings, and man are those a pain leaking tranny oil all over town.    He's about to get a Rhino liner sprayed in and a frame coating. Searching the planet right now for custom heated seats to replace the stock worthless no reclining crap. How you guys put up with that is beyond me.   Other than that, he gets the usual treatment of 20-50 in summer, and 5-30 in dead of winter. You have to keep in mind, that w/o oil pressure gauges, you don't have a clue what weight oil to use for the temperature at which it's used in and the current wear of parts to maintain that pressure. Racer, Street Rod guys always know.   He has the best Radar and GPS to keep me in check.   To see this image at full size, open this link - http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2378/2000071501_23bcf8e618_o.jpg - to view 1200x750

53 K on my 99 Sonoma bought new. No repairs after warranty expired, just fluid and filters. Replies to this message: r12isbad (May 17, 2008 4:10 pm)

Replying to: tsjay (Oct 31, 2006 4:07 pm) I hope I don't offend too many in this forum by sounding off about a Sonoma. I bought a '98 Sonoma in '05 for my daughters to learn how to drive. The price was right and they were intimidated by my '87 4WD Dakota. They did learn and fell in love with a cheap Hyundai I bought to replace a 3-cylinder Saturn   So, I now commute in the Sonoma with 2.2L & AT. I have learned to like almost everything about it, just not the unlimited slip differential when my driveway is covered in ice. I have a posi-trak unit, but haven't done the job yet. I average about 27 mpg commuting >80 mi/day. Current miles: 124,700+.   It had 85,000 on it when I bought it. I took a gamble and switched to synthetic oil (Supertech 10W-30) which I change at 18-19 thousand mile intervals (the distance it will go before it is 1qt down and the 5qt jug is empty). The AT didn't like to stay in OD, especially on longer trips. The tranny is mostly rehabilitated now by replacing 4qts of the worst looking ATF I've ever seen with Valvoline Maxlife. This rehab was done a quart or so at a time (I've heard horror stories about ATF changes after the first 60,000 on original fluid).   The one problem I have ignored is the intermittent wipers (refuse to work at all after the first 20-minutes of driving in warmer weather).

Replying to: hoodlatch (Feb 06, 2008 7:18 pm) I bought my '96 chevy S 10 new. 4 cyl., extended cab, 2WD. I love this truck. I am currently at 214K miles and have recently developed a loud tick in the motor. I have always used Valvoline 10W30 year round. I have just changed to 10W40 to aid in the lower oil pressure. I believe it's at the end of its life. What a great truck.   I wish they sold these brand new, I would buy another.

#40 of 61 '94 Sonoma by sprjriv Feb 22, 2008 (9:51 am)
Hello,   I bought my sonoma when I was 16 for 3k. It is a 94 Sonoma and I put most of the miles on it   Right now it has 245K I hope to have a party when it reaches 250K
#41 of 61 94' Sonoma by gorrufus Mar 06, 2008 (7:29 pm)
I have a 94' Sonoma, 4.3l v-6 'z' motor (non-vortec), extended cab short bed 2 wheel drive. 280,600 miles from the 200 when I bought it brand new. Paid cash back then and wont get rid of it any time soon. I have another cab from a 95 that only has one quarter panel rust hole, that I plan on swapping in. I think I'll keep the 94 dash though and the 94' column. I don't want the airbags. I removed the a/c finally this year but cannot find a non-A/C blower motor box. I plan on visiting some junkyards this summer and try my luck. I know theres not to many non-a/c sonoma out there. I'll just look for an s10 that was a work or delivery truck. I also have 2 new fenders, and I would like to convert the front end over to a 98' and up envoy headlights and grille. I need to get a new 98' core support first.   I do plan on rebuilding the engine and trans soon. I'd rather sink about 5-8 grand in this truck and do the work myself, than buy a new 30 grand truck with a payment.   I'm glad to see there are alot of us sonoma fans out there.   Peace!
