  • Are There Replacement Westin Brackets for a Grille Guard on 2001 GMC Sonoma 4x4?
  • Westin does not have a brush guard compatible with your 2001 GMC Sonoma. They have determined it is not a fit to do so based on the mounting locations for support so if you mount the grille guard pictured you would need to create/fabricate custom support brackets. The only manufacturer approved fit for your truck we carry is the Westin Safari Light Mounting Bar with Installation Kit - 2" Tubing - Black Powder Coated Steel # 30-0005-1065 or polished stainless # 30-0000-1065.

  • Will A Trailer Hitch From A 2002 Chev S-10 Fit A 2003 GMC Sonoma?
  • Your 2003 GMC Sonoma and a 2002 Chevrolet S-10 do indeed use the same trailer hitch receivers due to them having the same trailer hitch mounting locations, but you will need to make sure the hitch matches the options of your truck. What I mean is there is trailer hitches that only fit if you have the factory step bumper like the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13132, where others like the Draw-Tite # 75085 fit the trucks with a factory step bumper, Sportside with non-towing bumper, and the ZR2 models.

  • Power Steering Cooler Replacement For 2000 GMC Sonoma
  • You could replace the stock steering cooler in your 2000 GMC Sonoma with a Derale cooler. However, I recommend to make sure you are replacing it with one similar size to the OEM.

  • Will the Curt Front Trailer Hitch fit a 2WD 2001 GMC Sononma
  • Unfortunately not, the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 31021 is specifically designed for the 4WD models only. I did some digging around and it doesn't actually look like there are any front trailer hitches for a 2001 GMC Sonoma, so, your only real option would be to have one fabricated using something like the Curt Weld On 2" Receiver # E17.
