How do you replace the heater core on 1991 gmc sonoma?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Set aside a full day for this one and if your lucky, mabey less. first drain all anti freeze.

then look under hood on passenger side for two coolant hoses passing through fire wall- too under your dash. those two brass pipes are part of the core so, remove hoses, have a rag handy more coolant will come out. then dissconnect your dash, and some panneling so you can access the core! I think there were only a few screws holding core in place. I pulled dash out only half waf and was able to make it work.

I would recommend a new radiator cap also.

Will a vortex out of a 94 Jimmy be a direct fit into a 91 GMC Sonoma?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I assume you are suggesting swapping a 4.3 liter Vortec engine into a '91 Sonoma that has a 4.3 liter engine. I believe this would be a major project. The '91 4.3 liter has a TBI fuel injection system and the Vortec uses a different, higher pressure system with injectors at each cylinder. I think you would need to change the fuel pump in the fuel tank, computer, harnesses etc. The Vortec also uses a mass air flow sensor so the air induction system would also need to be changed. Not compleley sure on all the changes necessary but I do believe it would be complicated. I just finished swapping a '90 4.3 into a '94 Sonoma. Both are TBI injected. One thing to watch -- the OIL PAN. The oil pan on the four wheel dirve version has a shorter, deeper sump to fit around the front drive axle. The 4WD version will probably work on a 2WD but I would check it out. Good Luck, Jim

How do you get the button off the rear view mirror to reattach it on a 1995 GMC Sonoma?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

normally what i do it is to have some one hold the mirror very tightly while the button assembly is sitting firm against a hard surface (like the edge of the table) then i take a flat head screwdriver and a hammer - put the tip of the screwdriver on the button and just knock it out with the hammer - works like a champ for this redneck p.s. make sure you glue the correct side of the button and yes - use the primer first.

How many miles should a clutch last on a Sonoma 2000 4 cylinder?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It should last 100,000 miles but that all depends on how the vehicle was driven. If it is worn out, it is worn out, no matter what the mileage.

94 buik lesabre cold air will only come out of the dash vents what can you do?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are two types of doors on an auto heater/A/C system--mode doors and blend doors. The mode doors change the direction of the flow of air from the floor to the vents to the defrost. The blend doors change the temperature. The doors in your car are moved by vacuum motors. Either you have a leak in the vacuum line or the vacuum motor is bad. Most often it's a leaking vacuum line or switch. Check those out first.

Why hot air blows with temp control on cold 2001 sonoma?

There is a door behind the dash that changes cold and hot air flows. The door is probable stuck or the control circuit has failed causing the hot air to blow on cold.

Where is the location of flasher unit on 1996 GMC Sonoma pick-up?

User Avatar

Asked by Gordy2632

flashers always in one of 2 places, under glove box on pass side or in loom under stearing wheel close to fuse panel

On my Sonoma it is under the lower dash panel, just to the left of the cigarette lighter. To get to it you must remove the ashtray. Then remove screws holding the plastic panel that is below the dashboard. You will see two round "can " shaped flasher units. The one on the right is for the signal lights. The one on the left is for the emergency flashers.

10/11/2009 (added from experience)

This is the best and correct answer you will find. 1 hex nut under ashtry and 2 torx to left of that. No need to completely remove the lower dash panel you took the screws out of. Just bend it down a little to get you hand in. You will see the 2 flashers.

My turn signals work again!!

How long does it take to drive from San Francisco to Sonoma Valley?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The approximate driving time and mileage information -

Between: San Francisco, CA

and: Sonoma Valley, CA

Driving miles: 39

Driving time: 1 hr

- is based on traveling non-stop in good driving conditions. Driving time does not take into consideration conditions which may extend travel time such as weather, road work, border crossings, and rush hour traffic in urban areas. Mileage denotes actual road miles covered as opposed to Point A to Point B linear distances on a map.

Why does your RPM go up and down?

Rpm stands for revolutions per minute. This is talking about the revolutions the crankshaft goes per minute. The faster you go to more revoultions that are accomplished. Therefore the faster you go, the rpm goes up. And as you slow down it goes down.

Why do your headlight flicker on a 95 gmc sonoma?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

More that likely the headlight switch is bad. Turn your headlights on and when they start to flicker tap on the headlight switch real fast. If they flicker to you tapping on the switch, that's the problem. They had problems with that switch around that year. It's a pretty cheap fix and you can do it your self quickly.

Can also be a sign of a failing alternator.
