1997 GMC Sonoma ZQ8 EXTENDED CAB 3 door - STEP-SIDE BED, 


HARD TO FIND TRUCK, LOW MILES,WELL MAINTAINED,

FLORIDA TRUCK WITH ABSOLUTELY NO RUST OR ROT, 100% SOLID FROM TOP TO BOTTOM

I hate to do this, but i'm selling my Sonoma ZQ8, bought an suv, so dont need the GMC anymore-too many cars,,,
it has the desirable Vortec 4.3L Engine, only 119k original miles on the truck-(motor and trans are original) automatic transmission w/ Over Drive, EMERALD GREEN w/ TAN INTERIOR ( rare color combo) 

The interior is clean, its a 9 out of 10 and all original, she's a 3 door, and has a/c, cd player, the paint is a 7 out of 10 all original and in great shape, it's never been disassembled or painted or wrecked, and it's never had any body panels replaced (this is a big deal because when a vehicle is painted dis-assembly is required and many times things are not reassembled 100% correctly), clear is peeling on tailgate,grill has a crack, paint has some dings and scratches as expected for its age but as you can see it looks great, body is straight, all gaps are nice and everything opens and closes nice,windows were just tinted all around...

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)

PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS IF YOU'D LIKE TO TALK ON THE PHONE INCLUDE PHONE NUMBER, WILL PROVIDE AS MANY PICS AS YOU WANT-JUST ASK...

GMC introduces off-road performance package for Sierra AT4

Tue, Dec 18 2018

GMC is giving its off-road-focused Sierra AT4 pickup even more performance with some factory-installed upgrades. The package is called the AT4 Off-Road Performance Package. With it you'll get the 6.2-liter V8 engine upgrade, cat-back performance exhaust system, performance air intake and 18-inch aluminum wheels shod in Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac tires. The upgraded performance comes in the form of extra power. Thanks to the bolt-ons, you gain 15 horsepower and 9 pound-feet of torque over the 6.2-liter in stock form. This increases output to 435 horsepower and 469 pound-feet of torque — not too shabby. This package is priced at $4,940, and available for order now. That's a hefty price for what amounts to some minimal bolt-on modifications you could easily do yourself. However, buying it through GM means you get to keep your warranty in place. The Sierra AT4 already has more off-road features than a normal Sierra 1500. You're getting a two-inch lift, four-wheel drive with two-speed transfer case, locking rear differentials, skid plates, Rancho off-road shocks and hill descent control. Both the wheels and tires are available as options already, but this package just bunches related stuff together. It'll be up to you to decide if an exhaust and intake are worth the extra dough.

GM will no longer remove parts from trucks to calculate curb weights

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

Following last week's mild uproar after it was discovered that Ford and General Motors were removing some optional parts from their pickups to lower the curb weight and consequently increase the maximum payload, GM has come out and committed to a base curb weight for its upcoming Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon compact trucks (although it has yet to publish them) and its current Silverado and Sierra. The company will do the same for its heavy duty offerings, although those numbers have not been finalized yet.
"This will make our curb weight and payload specs more consistent with those of most other truck makers, making it easier for customers to compare vehicles," GM spokesman Tom Wilkinson told Autoblog in an emailed statement.
As GM notes - and as every manufacturer has noted since this story broke - customers still shouldn't take max payload ratings as gospel. Instead, they should refer to their truck's Tire and Load Label, like the one shown at the inset, which will offer detailed information on max payload, specific to their truck.

2019 GMC Yukon Graphite Edition offers Denali engine and features without the chrome

Tue, Jun 12 2018

A sporty-looking option package called RST was recently introduced for the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban that also offered the option of a 6.2-liter V8 and magnetic suspension. Now GMC is getting in on the action with the GMC Yukon and Yukon XL Graphite Edition. The trim package adds a number of visual enhancements, and, if you're so inclined, has a performance version with the same 6.2-liter V8 and magnetic suspension as the Tahoe RST and Yukon Denali. As for appearances, the Graphite Edition adds black trim almost everywhere, including the roof rails, grille, fog light surrounds, and window surrounds. It also adds 22-inch wheels, regardless of whether it's just the appearance version or the performance version. The appearance package has machined-finish wheels, and the performance package has black painted wheels. As previously mentioned, the performance version of the Graphite Edition adds magnetic suspension and the 6.2-liter V8 with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque found on the Denali and the Tahoe and Suburban RSTs. It's coupled to a 10-speed automatic transmission, and gets a rear axle ratio of 3.23:1. It also gets a few other Denali features such as a color heads-up display, Bose noise cancellation, a 170-amp alternator, and a trailer brake controller. The Graphite Edition can be had with both two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. The Graphite Edition can only be had on Yukon and Yukon XL SLT models. Pricing hasn't been announced yet, but it's likely it will be a bit more affordable than buying a Denali model.
