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 able to add diesel to half-ton pickups if market demands it
Wed, 18 Sep 2013A few years ago, the trend in half-ton pickup trucks was ultra-luxurious trims, often with the words "limited" or "platinum" tacked on after the model name. That was well and good, but we like this latest fad a lot more - diesel engines. First, Ram came to bat with a 3.0-liter, V6 turbodiesel for the 1500, then Nissan announced that the next-generation Titan would be getting an eight-cylinder Cummins diesel.
Now, word is coming in from AutoGuide that General Motors can, if it so chooses, drop a diesel engine into its light-duty trucks. The plot thickens, though, as it turns out that said diesel would be the same one Ram is using for its truck. According to AG, that engine comes from VM Motori, which GM owns a sizable chunk of. Therefore, GM can snag the 3.0-liter, V6 diesel for its trucks just as easily, if not more easily, than Ram.
If it's so easy for the Detroit-based manufacturer to access the engines, why not offer the a diesel-powered Sierra and Silverado from the start, then? According to GM spokesman Tom Wilkinson, The General doesn't seem so confident in a diesel pickup outside of its HD offerings. According to Wilkinson, the cost-benefit ratio doesn't line up for customers, thanks to both the impact on the truck's sticker price and the higher price of diesel, in general (the national average for a gallon of diesel is 43 cents more than a gallon of 87-octane unleaded).
2015 Chevy Tahoe, Suburban and GMC Yukon unveiled
Thu, 12 Sep 2013General Motors has today unveiled its new family of fullsize SUVs, including the 2015 Chevy Tahoe, its longer Suburban sibling, and their GMC Yukon, Yukon XL and Yukon Denali cousins. More efficient powertrains, improved aerodynamics, increased connectivity and better overall refinement are what Chevy and GMC say will separate their new SUVs from the current generation.
Sporting a tried-and-true body-on-frame architecture, these full-size SUVs feature platforms that are stronger and offer a wider rear track for "a more planted stance," according to Chevy and GMC. Mounted at the front of each SUV is an EcoTec3 powertrain, which consists of a standard 355-horsepower, 5.3-liter V8 (or a 420-hp, 6.2-liter V8 for the GMC Yukon Denali alone) with direct injection, cylinder deactivation and continuously variable valve timing, that's paired with a Hydra-Matic 6L80 six-speed automatic transmission. The setup is said to be more efficient than before, though official EPA fuel economies for each vehicle are not yet available. To help the powertrain achieve the best possible fuel economy in these 5,000+ pound SUVs, the new styling was developed with aerodynamics in mind. For the same reason, electric power steering also makes its debut in the Tahoe/Suburban/Yukon family.
The front fascias of the Chevy Suburban/Tahoe and GMC Yukon are distinct, but from the base of the A-pillars back, they share most of the same styling cues. This now includes inlaid doors that tuck into the door sills, instead of over them, which improves aerodynamics and fuel economy, and lessens interior noise. The hoods and liftgate panels now are made of aluminum in an effort to reduce vehicle weight. Chevy and GMC also tout that the Tahoe/Suburban and Yukon don't share a single piece of sheetmetal or lighting element with the brands' full-size pick-up trucks.
GM considering new powertrain options for large SUVs
Tue, 15 Oct 2013Aside from the new General Motors offerings, there's not a whole lot of action going on in the fullsize SUV segment. That doesn't seem to be stopping GM from pushing the envelope in the market as Automotive News is reporting that the automaker is looking to introduce some new powertrain options into the Chevy Tahoe (and Suburban), GMC Yukon (and Yukon XL) and the Cadillac Escalade - all have been redesigned for the 2015 model year.
Now, we already know that GM and Ford are collaborating on nine- and ten-speed transmissions for a broad range of applications (including the big SUVs), but this new report says that GM is also considering other options as a way to one-up the competition and, of course, to optimize fuel economy. AN quotes Jeff Luke, executive chief engineer for GM trucks, as saying that "interesting powertrain technologies" are coming including a return of a hybrid SUV and possibly even a diesel engine. Although it sounds like the latter could come down to how customers respond to the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel.
