    '00 Sonoma A/C Issues

    I have a 2000 GMC Sonoma SLS Ext. cab. When I bought it about 6 months ago, the A/C only worked on the two highest settings; 3 & 4. Since I got it in the middle of a freezing cold winter, I wasn't too worried about using the A/C on any low settings. Recently, it stopped working on the highest...

    I have recently aquired a 1994 GMC Sonoma extended cab 4x4 with the v6 Vortec engine. Everything worked fine until one morning when it didn't want to start up. It cranked and cranked until it finally fired up, but it sounded rough. I pulled off the air filter and had a friend turn the key...

    Aftermarket stereo 1996 Sonoma

    Have been trying since Christmas to install a new cd player into my 1996 Sonoma. I've read tons of posts, but still can't figure out how to get the front dashboard panel off. It seems like the steering column needs to be dropped. If anyone could help, it would be much appreciated. Thanks...Vic
