It blows blue smoke when cold starting.
The Air Conditioning makes the engine run hotter.
The factory primer was faulty and caused the paint to chip and peel all over the truck.
I got this truck from my cousin for free and it was definatly a steal.
Ihave done some serious four-wheeling with this rig and it is very tough.
There have been a few slight mechanical defects through its life. The switch to turn the heater on does not work.
The door hinges wore out.
Like I mentioned before the paint has chipped beacuse of the faulty primer and cost mega $$$$ to fix.
I have a red 1991 Sonoma SLE 4x4, 4.3 litre engine, automatic, extended cab. It has nearly 400,000 kilometres. I've had it seviced regularly and oil changed every 5,000 km. The engine is very good. I had to put a new transmission in at 140,000 km. It pulls my horse trailer with total weight (horse included of about 4,500 lbs.) Vehicle itself weighs about 5,300 lbs. or more. The paint has chipped in places, and there is some rust in the wheel wells. The computer read-out in the dash no longer works, and now it needs u-joints and ball-bearings etc. but it has been a fabulous little truck, and very reliable. I have taken good care of it though, and it is located on the West Coast.

Ten years ago the paint was on recall and was covered under warranty.
