My go to for my '89 s-10 parts is LMC TRUCK they have helped with a lot of GM truck parts ! 😊

Oh this is so helpful. I have a 92 Chevy S10 Blazer that has some of the same issues and lots of little things. I haven't taken time to repair, replace and finding out as he gets older

I have an 82 s-10 that was my high school truck. I still have it sitting up. 1.9 L 4speed. I plan to start working on it with my son and maybe it can be his high school truck.

Had an 88 s10 4x4 as my first truck, I miss that thing...

Nice, I’ve owned several of these. Just crashed my 1993 “ Cream Puff” with a 2.8-T5, picked a 4x4 4.3 one & trying to spruce it up. I’ll check out the rest of your videos.

I would like to share this. I have a 2000 chevy s 10. The dreaded door hinge. A guy 2 years ago fixed his door and it works great. Heres what he did. Buy a door hinge kit and take that kit to a machine shop. Have the bushings made out of quality steel. Brass bushing break in an egg shaped hole and just fall apart. Im getting bushings made for my daughters s10 as I type. Might have to take them back once to get maybe a little more material off the bottom bushing on the top hinge to fit them. There is a bit of a hassle with this but Im going for it.

Good tip on the back window of that S10 Blazer! The squeak in their car used to drive my parents crazy. They were mostly deaf as a stone but could hear the annoying squeak even without their hearing aids! Have use Fluid Film for lubing of door hinges & latches. Works well. Lanolin based spray oil.

..."final thing..." Okay maybe not verbatim, but hilarious! Iloveit. Good info. Going to took at a v6 5-speed from 1986. Looks sharp and apparently meticulous records

hey man i bought a 86 S10. love it it’s my first car i’m 17. when it idles it shuts off completely, or when i’m going slow, any idea why that is? literally the only problem with it

So glad to have found this channel; bought a 1988 S15 Jimmy 2.8L about 9 months ago and while I love it to death, definitely had some issues with it, most notably with the electrical system; since February I've had to have it jumped several times and the battery replaced at least once. Also the stock radio in it died about a week before these problems started happening. Are there any known electrical issues with that model? The garages I've taken it to have suspected things ranging from loose battery connections, to a faulty battery, to a parasitic draw coming from somewhere, but no one has been able to get to the bottom of the issue so far it seems.

Thanks again for the great content! Really glad to have found you

You forgot to mention that depending on how long it was sitting you might have to buy a headlight switch, and to just check all the connectors in the dash for corrosion, because you will find some, and the blower motor resistor will also usually be shot after sitting for long.

[CubNole]

You can do a lot of these heater cores without removing the dash. You can go underneath the dash to reach it as well as thru the back of the glovebox

I just bought an 85 from my neighbor a couple of days ago. Apparently it's not firing not sure if it's spark or fuel related. Might have a couple questions for you in the future thanks for the video

My 91 s15 is leaking and wasn’t sure where from!

[CHRGO]

My girlfriend has a 93 GMC Jimmy. It was jerking bsck snd forth on the freeway after driving alittle bit and would lose power. We blocked off the egr valve, changed the coolant and sll that. Checked the fuel filter had carbon and replaced it too. Rarely would lose power to the point where it would just idle well it started doing it recently. It doesn't seem to be over heating. Was thinking spider injectors but not too sure. Planning on tsking the catalytic converter off snd replacing it with just a piece of pipe. Any ideas or suggestions would help msn. This thing has been a headache the last 6 months and I csnt take it to a shop so I try to do it all myself.

What would I need to put 308 in my 91 blazer

[terrywalters]

Hey buddy I have a 1993 4.3 L with only 100, 000 miles on it I've already replaced pretty much everything more than once and it stalls or sputters while I'm driving it which is worse when it's hot. I can usually cycle the key off and crank it back up and it'll run good for a little bit then start to sputter again? Are used to have spark plug wires shorting out I fix that with the little heat protectant boots and some new plug wires but I'm thinking maybe it might've messed up the coil pack with it sparking on the manifold like it was?

Im going to be looking at a v8 swapped (350 sbc with a mild cam supposedly) its an 89 extended cab this saturday. It has manual windows, lowered with new wheels. Hes asking 6k. Any advice on what to look out for with a swap? Or anything i can use for leverage on a better price? Any and all advice helps.

[apocolypse]

He loves it so much until the wheels fall off. More like thats all he could afford.
