1997 GMC Sonoma ZQ8 EXTENDED CAB 3 door - STEP-SIDE BED,
HARD TO FIND TRUCK, LOW MILES,WELL MAINTAINED,
I hate to do this, but i'm selling my Sonoma ZQ8, bought an suv, so dont need the GMC anymore-too many cars,,,
ZQ8 package includes a 2" lowered suspension from the factory front and rear, Bilstein Gas Charged Shocks--and a 3rd shock/damper is mounted on the rear axle to prevent "wheel hop", promoting traction (kind of like traction bars), heavy duty sway bars front and rear, 16x8 alloy wheels, quick ratio steering box which is more responsive to the road and requires 1 full turn less than standard steering box (more steering travel with less work) it rides tight and handles like a sports car.
The 4.3L motor has great power, it also has a new full ACELL tune up kit on it, including: 8mm copper core wires, copper core spark plugs, copper core cap, copper core rotor, also has a JET performance throttle body spacer, new parts at time of tune up include: Fuel filter, pcv valve, throttle position sensor, water pump, all hoses (upper/lower rad and heater core hoses), serpentine belt, thermostat (upgraded to Hypertech thermostat), upper and lower intake manifold gaskets replaced with upgraded fel-pro gaskets (the factory ones are prone to leak, so if you are in the market for an S10 w/the Vortec 4.3L and this hasn't been done yet, beware-it's a very expensive repair), valve cover gaskets were also changed with Fel-Pro (also common on these trucks, and I'm probably forgetting some things, it does need a new muffler but sounds pretty good as is (i was going to put dual exhaust on) and gas gauge doesn't work, there are no leaks & no smoke, it's a powerful truck and it's fast,,, i've got all receipts and they are also included, (all the work was done less than 1000 miles ago)
The front end has been completely rebuilt, including: idler arm, center link, tie rod ends-inner/outer, newer quick ratio steering box and power steering pump (taken from a 2001 extreme with 78k miles), new urethane control arm bushings, also a brand new full set of 4-245/50/16 high performance tires (haven't put the two on the front b/c the old tires had some tread left-i'll have them mounted this week), it has the original ZQ8 16" wheels, brakes have been completely serviced, replaced the brake booster, master cyl, rotors, and brake pads, and the turn signal- hazzard-multi switch has been replaced (also common to go out on these trucks), all lights work as they should.
Every major system has been either replaced or correctly maintained, I also have a brand new a/c system including; compressor and dryer, seals & orifice tube, that go with the truck, (not installed yet). It doesn't have power windows or locks which is what i wanted, (the power windows and locks on these fail terribly and are expensive to repair-also the truck's a little lighter b/c of it), the door panels are in great shape as is the rest of the interior and the windows and locks work as they should.
I have a lot of money in this pick-up truck,, GM no longer makes small trucks only Full-Size trucks, same with ford and others and I felt it was worth investing in, so if your looking for something to hold on to-this is a good one, title is in my name and it's registered, I am a private seller,, (was daily driving it up until a couple months ago).
you won't find another one like it, an Emerald Green on Tan -GMC ZQ8 package-with the 4.3L motor/auto that's this clean, rust free and un-modified is hard to come by, (not like the chevy extreme with the outdated look of the "ground effects" that are normally warped and cracked by now)

GMC Canyon's jump seats innovate to keep kids safe [w/video]
Sat, 03 May 2014We dig simple solutions to problems. There's something highly gratifying about making a minute change to fix something, rather than tearing up the playbook. That's what GMC has done with the new Canyon midsize pickup.
When putting a car seat in, car seat manufacturers require that at least 80 percent of the seat's base fit on the bottom cushion. That's a big problem in extended-cab pickups like the Canyon, which feature jump seats with shorter bottom cushions, in place of the larger, more traditionally designed bench.
The Canyon gets around this with extendable jump seats - simply pop out the headrest and slot it into the bottom seat cushion, and the truck can now easily accommodate a child's seat.
GM issues stop-delivery for 2015 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon
Fri, 03 Oct 2014General Motors is issuing a stop-delivery order for its latest midsize pickups, the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon, because the driver's side airbag might not be wired correctly. The total number of vehicles affected is still being determined.
According to the statement from GM, the problem, "affects the vehicles' two-stage airbag system by reversing the deployment sequence and disrupting the deployment timing of the driver airbag stages." That means in an accident the bag may not work correctly.
Most of the affected trucks are still on the assembly line, in transit or unsold at dealers, says GM. Until a way to repair the problem is found, customer deliveries are stopped. However, "a small number" of them are in the possession of buyers. GM is contacting these people by phone and by FedEx letter to have the vehicles returned to dealers. In the meantime, they'll be given a loaner to drive.
GM already raising prices on 2014 Silverado and Sierra pickups
Mon, 14 Oct 2013General Motors must be pretty pleased with sales of its two newest pickups, the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado, as it's announced price hikes for both models, as part of a planned price tweak.
Prices will be bumped by as much as $1,500, although weirdly, they'll be offset by as much as $1,500 in cash-back offers through the end of October. Fox Business reports that GM spokesman Jim Cain said of the price hike, "With the sell down of the '13 models nearly complete, this price adjustment was planned and is a normal part of business."
The move, as Fox is quick to point out, is an interesting one, as sales of the twin pickups struggled last month relative to the Ford F-Series, while both of GM's crosstown competitors have been aggressively undercutting Silverado and Sierra prices. The F-150 starts at $24,070 and the Ram 1500 comes in at $23,600, not counting any cash on the hood. A base Silverado, meanwhile, retails at $25,575.
