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)

UAW rejects GM contract proposal but makes a counter offer
Tue, Oct 1 2019The United Auto Workers union said a new comprehensive offer made by General Motors Co late Monday to end a two-week-old strike was not acceptable and said it had made a new counterproposal. UAW vice president Terry Dittes said in a letter to members "there are many important issues that remain unresolved." The union is awaiting GM's next proposal. He said GM's offer came up short on many issues. Dittes said GM made a "comprehensive proposal" at 9:40 p.m. Monday. "This proposal that the company provided to us on day 15 of the strike did not satisfy your contract demands or needs. There were many areas that came up short like health care, wages, temporary employees, skilled trades and job security to name a few." Dittes is the union's vice president for GM relations and the UAW's lead negotiator in these contract talks. "We have responded today with a counterproposal and are awaiting GM's next proposal to the union," he wrote. "Regardless of what is publicized in print or social media, etc., there are still many important issues that remain unresolved." The strike, in its third week, has cost GM more than $1 billion, according to J.P. Morgan analyst Ryan Brickman. He said the cost per day in potential profit is $82 million. However, another analysis, by East Lansing-based consultant Anderson Economic Group, put the losses at $25 million a day. And the effects of the strike are expanding. GM said Tuesday the strike has created a parts shortage that forced the automaker to halt production at its pickup and transmission plants in Silao, Mexico, temporarily laying off 6,000 workers. Silao is where GM builds its highly profitable four-door crew cab Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups. The strike has also forced GM to idle some Canadian workers, and many suppliers have been forced to halt operations. About 48,000 UAW members went on strike on Sept. 16 seeking higher pay, greater job security, a bigger share of the leading U.S. automaker’s profit and protection of their healthcare.Â
GM tinkering with Silverado, Sierra model mix amidst strong early sales
Mon, 04 Nov 2013Variety, as they say, is the spice of life. That's a lesson that is currently being taught to General Motors, because despite a strong showing from its 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, the General's pickup sales still can't best those of cross-town rival Ford.
With 59,163 trucks moved, GM fell just over 1,000 units short of toppling Ford, and one of the main reasons for that, according to GM's chief sales analyst, was due to a lack of variety in the engines and body styles available on dealer lots. "We are still over-weighted toward crew-cab V8 trucks. Our light-duty mix will moderate over time as our launch progresses," said Kurt McNeil.
Loading dealers with the popular combination of the 5.3-liter V8 and the four-door, Crew Cab body style was intentional during the truck's launch, but as supplies of leftover 2013 models, which are being sold at heavy incentives, are beginning to wane, both budget-conscious and high-dollar buyers are looking elsewhere instead of at the volume model pickups.
Weekly Recap: Auto execs face life in prison for recall delays under proposed legislation
Sat, 09 Aug 2014
The stiff punishments are part of broader transportation legislation, but clearly McCaskill has automakers in her sights.
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill threw down the gauntlet this week, proposing a bill that could send auto executives to prison for life if they were found to have delayed a recall. She also wants to eliminate the limit for fines for auto safety violations, which are currently capped at $35 million.
