I am in the market for one of these great looking trucks and have found a 2002 sonoma with all the bells and whistles. Is there anything i should be careful of when looking it over? Any information would be helpful. I don't know much about them. thanks.

hmm...
ZR5? Any mods? mileage?
If it's still all stock, it's WAY overdue for shocks and tune-up and probably brakes depending on mileage. Several have had CV boot issues but more often after mods (like lifts, t-bar adjustment, after market rims, etc.)
The more info you can provide the better we can provide insight.
Good Luck and welcome aboard

i just bought a 2002 about 5 months ago, problems that i had/have that you should look for, front suspension (ball joints, tie rod ends, idler arm,pitman arm), my heater core has a leak (you will hear a gurgelling sound behind the dash, especially when accelerating), also check if all the a/c and heating controls work, and if air comes out the vents at all times (read transfer case switch thread)
