97 sonoma dd, just rebuilt the 4l60e, runs perfect now. The old tapered roller bearings make the steering a Lil sloppy like an old car but they're also easy to change yourself.
I bought a new 99 S10 back then, same pewter color, but mine had the ZQ8 pkg,same lowering kit as the Extreme with Gator year gator tires, it handled like a Porsche but had a very low powered 4 cylinder but still loved that truck
1999 gmc sonoma 4.3L 6 Cyl. My daily driver @ 282,181 miles. It gets the job done. Lubricate the door hinge, it takes less than 30 seconds and makes a huge difference!
Ive got the same exact truck, 250k all original truck. Only new part is a radiator i put in last week. Was low on coolant for a year before seeing the cracks in the radiator.
I have a 1998 s10 pickup with the 2.2 4 cylinder engine with the 5 speed manual transmission, I wash and wax mine but it's a 98 the paint has dings and flaws here and there but they are minor. It consumes a 10w30 oil it has 235k miles on it and I use a full synthetic diesel oil 15w40 and the consumption is not as severe. When these trucks get some miles on them just pop the hood and check your fluids twice a week and you will be fine owning one of these ol mini hogs, hogs as in they can get into your money and hog if you are mod crazy with vehicles.
The vehicle doesn't know it's old! I have a 2001 Saturn LW300 I bought new. It currently has 335,000 miles on the original engine and transmission and starts stops runs and drives perfectly. The only thing that doesn't work on it is the cassette player. In June we went on a 2000 Mi round trip from Wisconsin to Texas to pick up our new German Shepherd puppy. Never failed to start or leave anybody stranded and problems have been few and far between and mostly minor. I have three other vehicles including a 2024 but I'm not afraid to drive to Saturn anytime or for any distance. With proper maintenance and the owner willing to pay for repairs vehicles can last almost indefinitely and safely be driven every day.
i have a 1999 chevy s-10 but there the same truck heres the list chevy s-10 izuzu hombre gmc Sonoma ford ranger all the same pretty much but i bought my s-10 in i belive 2017 but i drive it daily and it had 600,000 miles on it
i daily a 1996 s10 with 190k miles. its a 4.3 4wd extended cab. I also own a 2011 silverado with 248k miles and a 2003 Buick park ave with 115k. the older stuff is better
@@gavsperience Could you tell me why it doesn't have front fog lights, mirrors turn signals, or fender turn signals? Does it have a naturally aspirated Fuel injection V8 quadra steer package? It's messing a lot of features, though? am i right😂
@@SNLOOB it is originally a 99 Sonoma, it had front end damage so it was replaced with a Chevy front end that fit it. This has the 2.2 4 cylinder engine, so I don’t think it would come with all those features if it is a lower trim model.
I have a 1999 Sonoma, given to me by my grandpa, its 5 speed manual, and fun to drive. Im definitely keeping it till i die
@@julianortiz8391 that is awesome! Great to hear! I’d love to drive the 5 speed manual version.
I have a 1999 GMC Sonoma and it is a great daily ride
@@Tony-nf8ny that’s fantastic! It’s a great truck!
Riding my 96 s10 everyday. She's so good to me!
Fantastic!

It really does handle well. I've gotten so used to it that I scare people taking 55mph turns at 75mph smoothly
That is super cool!!

@gavsperience yes they can, older Chevy trucks even the obs are gold.
Great Video, very funny and informative 😂

chevy sonoma gmc s10 what's going on
Confusing right!!! The truck doesn’t even know what’s going on with it.
@@gavsperience Could you tell me why it doesn't have front fog lights, mirrors turn signals, or fender turn signals? Does it have a naturally aspirated Fuel injection V8 quadra steer package? It's messing a lot of features, though? am i right😂
@@gavsperience doesn't Are bed lights required in the US ?

@@SNLOOB I am not sure if at this time period any bed lights were a requirement in the US.
Mind had 4.3 v six all the power you need
I would say yes it may out last a new ones better build much better truck and was cheaper in price
an easy daily driver no problem
@@jmsmilin absolutely!!
