Well. I sold my blazer saturday. i picked up a 94 gms sonoma ext cab 4.3 from a private party. Well,it needs some work.Just more then i bargained for.


abs/brakes system was bad. which i knew about,and since there was little to no brake pressure i babied it on the test drive. I picked up the whole front brake setup off a 80's s10 today. spent 5 hours installed everything. Got that fixed. good brakes! Spent enough at the dmv to get everything transfered etc. Now i went out to really test drive it. Upon a good wot i found out trans is shot (4l60e) When i floor it the trans screams for mercy and grinds,no shift. and after i discover that tonight 5 min later my temp gauge starts rising. I managed to get it home before it hit red. From the looks for what i could see the block to gasket side of the waterpump let go.

So. i spent what i got for my old blazer,on this. and now ive got 20.00 in my pocket and little work. Im sitting here wondering wtf i can do.

Sup?

Unless it was a dealer, I cant really see him getting a receipt.
