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. The Derale 2-Pass Tube-Fin Power Steering Cooler - 12-5/8" Wide part # D13200 will provide to most cooling because it is 12-5/8" wide x 2-1/2" tall x 3/4" deep. I have attached the installation instructions for your reference.
