1994 GMC Sonoma review from North America
"It's a good strong truck, but take care of it or it'll come back and bite you"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
EGR valve.
Rust holes on the corners of the cab.
Needed an alignment.
Oil leak from oil pan gasket.
General comments?
When I got it, the guy said the motor and tranny were rebuilt with 45,000 miles on them. After a month or so owning it, it was getting harder and harder to believe him. So anyway, I got stuck with this truck that I liked but no one else did.
I hauled some cars with it and it did pretty well for how small it was. a week or so after I was done with the hauling the EGR valve started acting up so the motor just sputtered when it idled. I never got around to fixing it because I'm a college student with no money, but I did find out how much a new one did cost. Are you ready for this? $278.61!! So I just found myself a car and traded the truck for the car.
