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,

Chevy Express 1500, GMC Savana 1500 get the axe
Tue, 15 Jul 2014Fans of truck-based, light-duty vans can officially pour one out for the Chevrolet Express 1500 and GMC Savana 1500, as General Motors has officially put its long-serving big/little rigs out to pasture. Things aren't quite as sad as they sound, though. The heavier-duty 2500 and 3500 vans will soldier on, in order to duke it out with the largest members of Ram ProMaster, Ford Transit and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter families.
The move does seem to make a lot of sense. According to GM, customers only purchase the 1500-spec Chevrolet 23 percent of the time, while the GMC captures a mere 7 percent of the Savana family's sales. With numbers like that, it's no shock that GM thinks it can shift some of its buyers into its van family's more capable variants. "We knew we could move a lot of our 1500 customers into 2500-series territory," said GM's Joe Langhauser, the product manager for the company's full-size vans.
It's not just simple sales figures dictating the move, though. The 1500 line is taking up some valuable factory space that will be better spent on an eagerly anticipated new product.
GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015
Mon, 25 Feb 2013General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.
2015 GMC Yukon erupts into flames during Anaheim test drive [w/video]
Mon, 24 Mar 2014A 2015 GMC Yukon burst into flames while on a test drive in Anaheim, CA on Sunday after smoke filled the cabin. Residents of the neighborhood where the driver abandoned the redesigned Yukon reported hearing a series of small explosions (likely the tires, based on the video), according to a report from KTLA and The Los Angeles Times.
No one was injured in the incident, which The Times reports occurred after a possible oil or fluid leak. As you can see in the image above, the Yukon was engulfed in flames, although the Anaheim Fire Department was able to put out the blaze in about 15 minutes.
"We're very lucky that no one got hurt, and it was in an area that... was safe," Lt. Tim Schmidt of the Anaheim Police Department told KTLA reporters. "If there was any place that was going to be safe, it would be this area. It's very open. It worked out for us."
