I BROKE My Syclone at Cars and Coffee!? ASK THE INTERNET!?!

- One of the biggest drawbacks of having an awesome fleet of vehicles is maintaining and repairing all those individual vehicles. There's ALWAYS something broken, or something about to be broken, demanding time money and attention. I decided to take the all original low mileage GMC Syclone to Columbus Cars and Coffee and in doing so, broke the dang truck!
As this truck is essentially all factory original GM parts I don't really want to just throw third party bits and pieces at it and we needed to figure out what failed and why. In the meantime I decided to post a short clip online and had soooooo many valuable opinions as to what I did, what was wrong, and my level of intelligence. Don't you just love the internet?
I need to get this truck fixed and ready for some filming with Tony Angelo of Stay Tuned / Hot Rod Garage fame, fortunately this LOOKS like it's just going to be a simple fix requiring me to overnight some parts from... Detroit. There's ALWAYS something!

I'm glad you got it figured out brother!!!!
I look forward to your adventures often. You never fail to deliver. I mean that in a good way!😅😅
Thank you I really appreciate that! You folks watching encourages me to have more adventures!
Makes a pleasant change from not being able to start. 👍
Lol at least I COULD drive it back to the shop not have to call and get a tow! Could have been worse!
Had that happen in my Dads 84 T Type, I loved that car, it was so cool and fun to drive. Went to pick up a pizza and couldn't turn the car off! Had to have a locksmith come out and replace the lock assembly. This was in 1986. The locksmith, my buddy, told me it was not an unusual issue with these columns.
Ohhhh would LOVE to have a T Type, that's on the want list! Fortunately this wasn't a major major issue just really annoying and mildly embarrassing happening at a car show. Simple enough fix but still frustrating and this is the first time either Rich OR I had ever had one lock in run.
Great job on the funding for the storm relief
It's the very least I could do!
Had an S10 5 speed 4X4 do the same thing years ago. Don't think I ever got the key out, just said f it and replaced the lock cylinder. Kinda nice to know I'm not the only one working on every damn thing I own.
Stuck in run? This was a first for us. Realllly didn't want to end up replacing parts with this truck being essentially all original but at this point, don't really have a choice. Maintaining the fleet is a busy busy job!
@@AutomotiveAdventuresWithAustin Only had it happen once and it was my S10 over 30 years ago, just unplugged the distributor and replaced the lock cylinder. A GOOD lock smith might be able to get the key out and fix the cylinder so you can keep it original. Gonna be more than $10 though.
I will still match it, I will come by the shop on Monday after the Edgewater race to drop off. I have the hotel until Tuesday morning. Best vacation ever!
Waaait wait WHAT!?
@@AutomotiveAdventuresWithAustin I mean what I say and do what is right, see you in a week!
Good thing is there is no airbag to tear your face off when you try to take off the steering wheel ROFLMFAO!!!!!
For sure! Old fashioned style for the win again!
81 Camaro got stolen steering column burst out got it back start and turned it off with a pair of pliers like those that you have in your hand Thanks for the videos
Old school "How to fix it" option for a lot of vehicles of this era also a big part of how many of the things were stolen in the first place! Thanks for watching!
With out boring you. Dealerships had rebuild kits. With the mileage on yours if you carefully take it apart. The brass keys are numbered and the springs are very small. Keep them in order. May have to lightly file the keys and stretch a spring or two but most often it just got gummed up. Hope this helps.
The lock cylinder had a tendency to lock up internally. Replacement is nessasary. Mind did it back in the 90s.
This is the first time Rich OR I had seen one lock in RUN like this and absolutely refuse to move, apparently others have seen it before but it wasn't something either of us had RUN into before ;)
@AutomotiveAdventuresWithAustin This is the second for me. The first was mine roflmfao!!!! Our luck right? ROFLMFAO!!!! Sorry it happened to you. Especially at a Cars and Coffee
@@AutomotiveAdventuresWithAustin I had heard of others but never personally seen another till I watched your video.
That is probably the reliablest car you own now
They really are as simple and reliable as a hammer one of the great parts about these trucks. Until something stupid like this happens ;)
And that folks is why we DON'T believe everything we see on the internet. Some people are just plain rude and disrespectful. Calling you stupid over and over. One small reason why I'll never do videos because i would be shut down fast as i don't put up with that shit.
From the time the video started and you first described that the truck wouldn't turn off, i knew it was the ignition lock cylinder. Its a quite common thing on older gms. My 80 Z28 the key will come out of the ignition while it's running because its old and worn out.
I don’t mind you taken care of your other cars I’m I not the only one that goes through this stuff
I'm really trying to be honestly and forthcoming about the realities of all this, most of the time you just get the good flashy stuff and we content creators gloss over the messy day to day stuff. But it's THAT stuff that really determine what we can and can't do.
The Internet is only going to get worse so I wouldn't worry about it.
Seems like it keeps spiraling downward every day :(
I had a S-10 blazer that did the exact same thing I had to replace the lock cylinder
Really? Stuck in Run? Neither Rich nor I had ever seen this
@@AutomotiveAdventuresWithAustin it’s been years. My daughter is 22 and she was in a car seat. It was a 88 S-10 blazer. I pulled into my parents house and went to cut it off and bam. It wouldn’t move. That blazer was cursed. It’s the same one that I pulled into a gas station filled it absolutely full and the fuel pump died. 😂
Hey Austin.. Let's try a silly experiment. Let's assume there is nothing mechanically broken in that ignition tumbler and toss it in an ultrasonic cleaner and then lube it when it's done and see if it starts working again.
Hmmmmmm might be worth a try. WAS considering cutting it open to see what failed (and to get the key out) but that could be an option as well?
@@AutomotiveAdventuresWithAustin well, you can always chop it apart if the cleaner doesn’t work… more content!
Some great tips in here already. For my part- a year or two ago someone tried to steal my truck on a road trip through Albuquerque. They didn't get it, but they did break the bezel and leave pry marks on the lock cylinder. I bought a new cylinder and changed the wafers inside to match my existing keys.
Here's a video that was VERY helpful in doing the job. In your case, it's possible it's actually the key that's worn and not the cylinder itself. If that's the case, you would be able to just get a new key cut from the code (or if you have the pristine OE spare) and be good to go. th-cam.com/video/hVQP0-G54dE/w-d-xo.html
Ya gotta love those keyboard warriors!..
They have gotten sooooo much worse over the years!
How dare you not listen to TH-cam certified mechanics.
I'll be honest some of the TH-cam Mechanics had some solid ideas and got the diagnosis correct, about 2% of those who commented on the video on Instagram got it right but the ALMOST all knew exactly what it was ;)
I went from 12 classic cars to 5 and that's more than enough, also I got rid of anything that was not per 1970. The NEWEST one 1 got is a 1970, and there all GM. Two 66 Oldsmobile's two Chevy's and one bad ass S/D Pontiac, Sold off all my nasty Klingon "Mo pigs", plus all my low life oil suckin Ford junk.
Newest thing I own is from 2002 and it's purely as a Daily Driver and shop hauler because a 30mpg wagon is super useful! Otherwise almost everything I own is "classic". Don't need or want all that new fangled stuff!
Is it possible to rekey the lock to keep using the original key?
Looking into that option for the future, supposedly there ARE some options out there of getting a cylinder that hasn't been keyed and having a locksmith do it. I'll be keeping the original keys in case I can find one and getting that done. Trying to keep this truck as original as possible for as long as possible!
👍👊
I would venture to guess that most of the unkind people in the Instagram comments aren’t subscribed to you here.Oh you didn’t push the key (pliers)release button to get the vehicle to shut off. 😆😆😆
ALMOST none of them are and as of RIGHT now of the 510,000 views I have picked up... 2 Followers. Yikes!
I know right? Didn't need to push the lever down or nothing ;)
I had an S 10 blazer did the same thing must be an issue with them
This was a first for us and Rich has own a WHOLE lot of S10s and blazers of the era. Fortunately not a really major surgery.
Yep, old GM, no matter how many miles are on it, no matter how good of condition it is in, there's some little piece in it that's either pot metal or plastic that's going to fail and make you have to replace it. Granted pretty much all companies are that way, especially now, and definitely since we entered the plastic components age, but GM has always been the worst about it, of the big 3. Might want to pull the main coil wire off while you're leaving it sit so no one gets the bright idea to steal it.
I can't believe it sat there idling for two hours and didn't overheat.
If it weren't for bad luck you would not have any luck at all.
Certainly seems like that some days!
Key switch
Unfortunately seems like the issue
Pull the fuel pump relay
That WAS an option and something that wasn't very risky
@@AutomotiveAdventuresWithAustin But you never really think of that until after the fact!!! At least I don't roflmfao!!!!
The Tumblers in ignition switch has worn out and what does it when you turn it to run and start at a fall behind the cylinder in the groove and it falls down in the groove and the key won't turn back
HOWdy AUSTIN, ...
SYCLONE troubles =
1) Have you broken any MIRRORS lately ?
2) Crossed the PATH of any BLACK Cats ?
