@@Sourman1545 That is a 2nd generation GMC Sonoma. It's production was from 1993 to 2004. My exact wording was "Designed in the 90's" & this truck MADE in 2001 was in fact designed in the 90's.
Obviously the gauge wasn't working, otherwise his engine would blow up after a few minutes. This was how my Porche 928 went out, on a disastrous road trip. Parts of my dash didn't work.
I own a Sonoma, every Sonoma I've seen owned or in scrap yards have faulty gauges; ~20 seconds after you shut it off the oil, temp and battery voltage gauges go phantom, and stick up. Oil pressure gauge and fuel gauge are subject to flaws. The fuel gauge may read extremely low at times, shifting into neutral fixes this temporarily. I love mine to no end partly because of the weird shit it does. It also reads gears wrong, if you put it in Overdrive, it will think it's still in reverse for a few seconds, manual shifting appears as 1 all the time. (Swapped linkage)
Not surprising, the 4.3 Vortec is nothing more but a 350 minus 2 cylinders...they simply cut those of it and used a balanced camshaft. The hardware is all the same (pistons, throttle body you name it) as the 5.7L v8 350
UPS dude said that these things are in they're trucks, sounds like a mixture of a V8 and a 4-cylinder, he's like yeah it's got a modified 4.3 Chevy and its got some ass behind it fun to drive..
"cat forward" exhaust, remove the throttle blade baffle, mail order tune and for the love of good fix that oil pressure gauge and it might run low 15's maybe high 14's on a cold day
Same as mine. Funny question for ya; When you remove the key from the ignition, does the fuel gauge stand straight up, and your temperature gauge go about 2/3 up after ~10 seconds? Mine does, every Sonoma in the scrapyards I've seen have their gauges in this position. Happens consistently.
Sean nolastfuqingname this is actually my truck, I do some of the videos as well and to answer your question, no it does not stand up, it sits flat at zero when he key is not on.
