Love this truck

1995 GMC Sonoma SLS 2dr Extended Cab SB (2.2L 4cyl naturally aspired 5M)
I have 259,000 miles on this truck not 1 major issue. I just put on a water pump last month and the starter has started to act up, I think after this many miles and 13 years these should be wearing out. I have had some suppension problems but that I think is more related to driving on the pothole covered roads in Michigan more than the truck. I don't see any issues coming up that will … keep me fromsurpassing the 300,000 mile mark.
Great Small Package

1995 GMC Sonoma SLS 2dr Extended Cab SB (2.2L 4cyl naturally aspired 5M)
Great gas mileage. Roomy interior.
Love the 2 tone color of black and
blue. Interior has everything in the
right places. I've got 123k and have no
leaks. Wish it had a CD player and a
back sliding window. Signs of head
gasket leak but ok now, cause using
high mileage oil. Had to replace
mirrors on driver's side 3 times and
passanger twice due to vibration. Also …
replaced back window because of rain
water leakage after warranty. Thumbs up
to Gmc service. They even replaced the
mirrors after warranty. Signs of rust
at the lower side below extended cab
window on both the passanger and
driver's side. Very easy to work on.
Had to replace the starter once.
95 Sonoma Ext Cab
4.13 out of 5 starsBob, 09/20/2008
1995 GMC Sonoma SLS 2dr Extended Cab SB (2.2L 4cyl naturally aspired 5M)
I have owned this truck for the last 7 years. Overall very reliable. Over 200,000 miles on it, have changed the starter and the battery once. Replaced the exhaust sytem (cat converter rattles a bit). Transmisson started shifting rough into second. I changed fluid and filter and after a little while, it seems to shift smoother. biggest complaint rusted out above rear wheels and in corners … of the extended cab. It had to rust from the inside out, because by the time i noticed it panels were rusted through. I noticed wherever GM puts those rubber plugs that is where the truck rusted.
Great little truck for 11 years

1995 GMC Sonoma SLE 2dr Extended Cab SB (2.2L 4cyl naturally aspired 5M)
I've enjoyed my 11 years with this truck. It's still going strong with only 61k on it, but I'm going to sell it to an employee who needs vehicle and so I can upgrade. Pros: Smooth ride, good handling, nice cab design, lots of room in the ext cab, decent bed room. Cons: The 4 banger could use a bit more power for hiway conditions. Side mirrors are known to fall off by breathing on them (2 … times for me). Stock sound system is pretty bad, but easy to upgrade. Repairs: Easy to work on. In 11 years I've replaced 2 batteries, the a/c compressor, EGR sensor, fan clutch, plus normal wear items like brake pads, drive belt, etc.
