93toNV Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 I have for sale a 1992 GMC Sonoma GT. The truck starts, runs and drives excellent, has great power. Rated at 200hp and 260tq. All options work aswell. These trucks were built in the same factory as the Syclone and look identical to them, even down to the interior! The syclone was a turbo 4.3 and AWD. This is a n/a 4.3ho. The truck has a nice pioneer cd deck in it aswell. There were only 800 of these trucks made, only 400 of which were black. Wanting 1500 cash or trade for a mustang, 82-92 bodystyle camaro, 4x4 truck, or utility 4wheeler with plow.

MrMeanGreen Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 AWD also? Got pics? How difficult to transplant the 4.3 turbo into it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMeanGreen Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Looks like 3rd Gen Z28 wheels, not OEMs? Anything wring with it? Mileage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Sweet Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 I'll mention this to my brother, I have a feeling he might be interested. A guy on craigslist recently parted one out and he got a lot of parts off it, including the complete interior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 614Streets Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Why is it missing the rear skirts? Is this a clone? Chevy grille? Looks fishy to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93toNV Posted January 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 it is auto, the exact same floor shift as the syclone. It is rear wheel drive, and the only thing wrong with it is that there is about a foot long section of rust over the rear wheel well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93toNV Posted January 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Why is it missing the rear skirts? Is this a clone? Chevy grille? Looks fishy to me. Dont know where the rear skirts are, it never had them when I bought it. no its NOT a clone. Original grill shattered do to bird eating it at 90mph. If you dont believe me that its a real sonoma GT, i can post the VIN. I hate being called a liar FYI... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

93toNV Posted January 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 AWD also? Got pics? How difficult to transplant the 4.3 turbo into it? The motor already has the same internals that the turbo version does, so im assuming it would just be a matter of slapping the turbo on and running the piping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Pics of the interior and rust. What about the rims as I asked earlier? Mileage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93toNV Posted January 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Pics of the interior and rust. What about the rims as I asked earlier? Mileage? The one pic I have of the rust is kinda far away, but hopefully you can still see it. The odo reads 232,000. Motor redone at 171k. The rims are not stock. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/SHOtyme24v/3nf3kc3p911c1fb1g28cqc615ee3d4a6515.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/SHOtyme24v/3m13oa3p11f712b1ga8cqf8998ee098fc14.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/SHOtyme24v/3ke3ma3ob1491g613c8cqce560eaceb9819.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitrousbird Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonoma_GT FYI, the CPI motor DOES NOT share the internals with the LB4 Sy/Ty motor. Many of the externals are different too. CPI is known to internally leak too. Most powerful of the N/A 4.3L's, but also the least reliable. I've owned a OBD-I and...fairly rare I sadly found out, OBD-1.5 version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 614Streets Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Are you talking all of the body moldings? or just the rear ones? All of them are very highly sought after because noone makes those mouldings in the aftermarket for the syty's and GT's , so guys restoring them or building salvage trucks often pay top dollor for them. Quite possibly the most expensive and longest build thread I have ever seen ever , a guy building a sonoma gt on s-series forum. http://www.s-seriesforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=57700&highlight=sonoma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry about snapping at you earlier. It was just that was the first time I saw the thread after I posted it for sale and seeing you call my truck fishy struck a nerve. Again I apologize. I noticed on the stock pic of the truck from wiki that the rear moldings dont add much to the truck and you can barely notice them...guess thats why I never noticed when I bought the truck. Good eye. Do you know anything about this motor? What exactly leaks internally? Anti-freeze? Injector leak? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 The poppet valves for the cylinders. Basically, one big injector with an assembly of tubes that lead to each cylinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 I wish I had some extra cash. I'm a S-truck fanatic, and I've only ever seen one of these in person. Good luck with the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony hit the nail on the head and now they have a revised system for the cpi injection which doesnt leak.

Nitrousbird Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 The poppet valves leak, and can leak anywhere into the manifold (they dry out, harden, then leak). Super common problem. Otherwise, it's a pretty common motor (excluding the OBD 1.5 stuff, which aren't better, just a PITA to find parts for). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
