Title: 2003 Sonoma/S10 Questions
Post by: Scoobum on February 18 2012, 02:39:13 PM: Guys, my daughter's 97 Ranger has had the biscuit. It's going through antifreeze and now the clutch is fried. I tracked down this 03 Sonoma. Called the gentleman and it's been sitting in his garage for a year...so he'll likely part with it for less. Your thots guys.

Get it cheap with 330K.

I'd ask if the intake gaskets have been done, they're prone to failure. 2wd less headaches, better mpg.

Thanks for the tip Jim. She'll likely stick her nose in the air when I tell her it ain't 4WD.

Have a good look under the front at the front cab mounts on that if you look at it. Have replaced a few sets, takes a fair amount of work to do it without taking the cab off.
