I like the new approach to this channel.... I also really love your reviews of new cars because of your depth and care, but these are also really neat to watch! Great work
Hey Saabkyle, I've been subbed to your channel for several years at this point and I've always enjoyed your content regardless of what it was. I don't say that because I'm trying to be a 'fan-boy' or anything like that, but because I can tell that you really do put passion and genuine care into your videos. Just wanted to make sure you knew you have a long time fan here who's very happy with the way you run your channel, and looking forward to the future! Just like you, I have a special place in my heart for these older cars, and watching them come back to life like this is just awesome!
This brings back memories of my '94 S Blazer. I had it for about 6 years. I remember it would go through front brakes around every 10 thousand miles. It also needed a new central point fuel injection system after 5 years.
You should keep the old serpentine belt as a spare in the vehicle. I keep one for my 4.3 TBI in my toolbox in the back of my c1500. I once had the alternator freeze up following a snowstorm and it burnt the belt. Since then I keep a spare, haha
I've been a long time viewer as well since the early days, and I've said this in one of your 240 videos, I love seeing this diy content on the channel, and I believe it gives alot of viewers more confidence to tackle projects like this themselves, keep it up!
Thanks so much for your support. I agree, it's certainly giving me more confidence to try bigger and better things. Now, if we can just figure out the poor view situation, we'd be set!
Hey Kyle im glad that you have stuck to fixing that old Jimmy up. Not a lot of people like to rebuild cars like that anymore. But im glad you are. Its cool to restore old cars to the way they used to be. I like everything you have done to it. I know its not easy but im proud of you. I just got a 2001 Chevy Blazer LS a few weeks ago and ive had to do a few things to it but not a lot yet. But the good thing its getting to where i need to go so thats what matters. But i have plans for it that i think you would even like but anyway congrats on getting that old Jimmy restored. You sure are a hard worker. Keep up the great work Kyle. I hope i can meet you in person sometime. That would be awesome. Take care.
I've grown a pretty serious attachment to these things. While it might not be the most popular thing, it's certainly different. Thank you so much for your support and kind words. Let me know if you're ever around Winston Salem, NC! My email is (kyle@saabkyle04.com). Have a great day!
@@saabkyle04 Thank you Kyle you as well. And if you ever want to talk you can reach me on messenger. Im always around. Right now im just at work at Lariche Chevrolet and Cadillac. I really like where i work. But anyway take care Kyle and thanks again for replying to me. Your awesome. Have fun with the Jimmy.
Love the videos man! So glad to see you partnered with O'reilly's as well, ive been working there for near 4 years now and just happened to come across a little memo on a page at work saying they were partnered with you and instantly i said man its been a while but im going to watch this series! Take care and have fun! 😁
It's actually more beneficial to let a video play all the way through 😉 watch time means EVERYTHING to the algorithm. I wish it was still that simple. Maybe play them in the background while you do another task hahaha 😂 Thanks for the support my dude!!
You could really turn this Jimmy into a real sleeper with a good old LS swap! It’ll likely be one of a kind and give the Typhoon/Syclone some competition! I know there are quite a few LS Typhoons and Syclones already but I’m sure yours can be more special! 😉
That would be VERY cool! I'm trying to stick to somewhat of a "budget" for this one and prepare for a couple more projects to come soon. The first will be introduced Friday or Saturday! I don't doubt an LS will be in the future for at least one of them.
Here's the trick a mechanic friend taught me: Remove the fan bolts BEFORE loosening/removing the serpentine belt. ; ) Also; the coolant overflow tank works on gravity and siphon. Meaning it's not under pressure, so no hose clamps are necessary. There weren't any hose clamps installed from the factory. But you can't go wrong with the added security of installing them!
I recently something similar to this to my 95 corolla. Since I got the car over 2 years ago, I noticed some coolant stains but not visible leaks and the coolant level didn’t changed much over time until early this year. I began to notice it was losing coolant but no leaks. So, one day while inspecting the engine mounts which required replacement, I warmed the car to temperature and then took a careful look around and then noticed a small pool of coolant collecting down in the radiator body. Took the radiator out and discovered it was the original radiator y had been poorly repaired. Needless to say, I replaced it immediately along the with radiator cap, t-stat and seal, hoses and clamps. Also rebuilt the radiator fan with new brushes.
Your videos are soooo good!! I love how you get so in depth with everything. Me personally love the project videos. Cant wait to see that RB tho! Love your content, its high quality.
Hey saabkyle09! I just wanted to say thank you for inspiring me to start my TH-cam channel. Without you I never would have had this opportunity or idea.
I started studyin basic concepts of mechanics, i hope someday i have the pleasure of workin in my own car, just like you, must feel good to see that your own efforts are turnin something old, into almost new. Good luck from Brazil! :)
Be aware of the lower intake manifold gasket at some point. Common issue on Chevy's 4.3 V6 it will have the same symptoms as a blown head gasket but coolant will get in the oil and the engine will eventually blow. Happened to my S10 around the same year and same engine.
Another good thing to do is to save the old serpentine belt inside the vehicle some place. That way if for whatever reason the new belt breaks out on the road you can put the old belt beck on to get you back home. I also noticed you bought pre-diluted antifreeze. That stuff is a rip off. Buy the full strength and dilute it yourself when you get home. Pour half of it into an empty jug, then fill both jugs full with water. You now have two gallons of "pre-diluted" antifreeze for less than two gallons of the store bought stuff.
@@saabkyle04 You just stuck a big smile on my face and made my day by replying! I never get replies from famous youtubers, and just so you know, I have been subscribed since 2015, so I'm a veteran subscriber, and I'm a veteran viewer, since I have been watching you since I was four!
I'm planning on it! Just gotta reach out to some people regarding getting the cluster reprogrammed to match the odometer of the new Jimmy. It'll be intense, but the digital cluster is just way too cool to pass up haha.
S10s eat suspension and steering parts for lunch. You should do a steering and suspension video. That is a super clean ride. Around my neck of the woods everything rusts away.
I just did hoses rad and water pump on my blazer. My temp gauge didn’t work until I flushed the coolant if that tells you how nasty the coolant was when I bought it
Good job Kyle ! I love this truck and what you are doing with it. Also I cant understand what sort of idiotic mechanic folded the hose like that... I sure hope you get around to putting the digital instrument cluster in it as well.
What kind of oil catch pan was that? I like the little built in spout which would make dumping used oil back into the jug much easier than ones that don’t have that.
Serious question, if the original engine was a V6 and you engine swapt it to a V8, wouldnt the supreme belt go on diffeferent? And how would you know how it goes on?
Does this car have bluetooth and satellite radio and backup camera and blind spot detection and lane departure warning and mp3 plug in. Good job with the video.
Please watch the update I posted, I'm not able to proceed on the 240 until the shop is finished, which should be soon hopefully. We sold our house finally so I'm trying to get a jump start on the Jimmy here until the shop is done, while this garage is still available to me. At that point, I'll move the whole operation over and really get some engine stuff going.
Shoot me an email (kyle@saabkyle04.com). I'm not 100% sure if I need it or not, most likely not, but depending on where you're at, I'm sure we can work out something!

A video on the Jimmy getting a lift kit installed would great!
Awesome videos👍🏼
Nice series. Now I wish I had kept my 2-dr 94 Jimmy. Oh, the memories.
LOVE your video's Kyle. Keep up the good work. This came up in my feed as a new video today. Maybe YT has updated algorithm .
I certainly hope so! Thanks so much for letting me know!
Fantastic!! I enjoy these DIY videos more than the car reviews
Me too haha
I’m inspired to wrench on my own GMC Jimmy, and I don’t even have one! Great job Kyle!
You better swap the digital gauges from the parts car
I'm planning on it at some point!
Who else clicks on several of Kyle’s recent videos you’ve already seen before and watches a few seconds just to boost his view count?
It's actually more beneficial to let a video play all the way through 😉 watch time means EVERYTHING to the algorithm. I wish it was still that simple. Maybe play them in the background while you do another task hahaha 😂 Thanks for the support my dude!!
Saabkyle04 I was wondering about that so thanks for the reply and info. We’ll see what we can do.
Great job as usual Kyle! Your always very thorough!

He pulls the engine in his most recent video. So much for not having to take it apart again.

Sounds like a project! Glad you were able to find the culprit, always a satisfying feeling :)
Kyle what cars do you own right now, do another video on your current fleet. Love your stuff!
Stay safe Kyle, Hopefully the hurricane doesn't affect you guys too much
Your videos are soooo good!! I love how you get so in depth with everything. Me personally love the project videos. Cant wait to see that RB tho! Love your content, its high quality.
Thanks so much for watching! I hate the shop has been met with so many delays, would have started on that RB a while ago. The wait will be worth it!
Watching you work on cars is even better than watching you review cars!
I agree!
Hey saabkyle09! I just wanted to say thank you for inspiring me to start my TH-cam channel. Without you I never would have had this opportunity or idea.
Good video! You really know how to get out there and work on your vehicle. I enjoyed you working on your GMC Jimmy and using the AC Delco parts too.
Thanks dude!

Hey man, thanks a lot! It really is a great feeling! I just need to learn to be more patient and organized at times 😂
@@saabkyle04 Dont worry, that comes with time.
Im really liking this video series (and all other vids) recently kyle!! Keep em coming!
It's about to get seriously turned up. A new project reveal is coming this weekend!
I am really looking forward to those detailing videos :D because thats something I can do by myself without a problem
Great video Kyle by the way!
The 240sx is a real beauty even if we can only see the wheel from a certain angle
More coming, I promise. Thank you!
Turbo please! Hahaha

So happy to hear it! Thanks for letting me know!

Fixing the cooling system is essential to prevent leaks and overheating!
You got it!!

Ugh i love your restoration videos.
Another great video Kyle! She sounds good! Keep up the hard work!
Yay! More GMC Jimmy restoration videos!
Lots more coming!

Enjoying this series. Keep it up.
That was a nice and clean fix. Congrats.
Thanks dude!
Stay safe during this hurricane.
Thanks man, we sure will. We're an hour north of Charlotte so I don't think it'll be nearly as bad as it could be.
It looks to be a huge rain event so make sure you stay in an elevated location.
Wow man inspiration you get to do what you love every day
Thanks so much!
I enjoy watching your videos. Love from India ✌🏼
I love watching this project, but you gotta get that cool digital gauge cluster from the parts Jimmy and put it into this one! You have to do it!
I'm planning on it! Just gotta reach out to some people regarding getting the cluster reprogrammed to match the odometer of the new Jimmy. It'll be intense, but the digital cluster is just way too cool to pass up haha.
Stay safe during the hurricane!
Kyle next time you could of used that lisle funnel down the tool isle to make pouring in the antifreeze easier
B4 Chris fix videos i was watching saabkyle videos
Cool! Cant wait to see you sunday at apx! It will be fun racing the karts. I will be there with my new 2018 focus st!
I'm super excited, should be an awesome time! Hopefully the hurricane doesn't affect our flight 😅
@@saabkyle04 oh yeah, that would really stink! I forgot you were in north carolina. I wish you and your family the best. Stay safe!
Thanks dude! I'll have updates being posted to the social channels letting everyone know what's happening!
Great job kid, I knew you had it in you!
Thanks bro!
S10s eat suspension and steering parts for lunch. You should do a steering and suspension video. That is a super clean ride. Around my neck of the woods everything rusts away.
Fluid film the bottom or use old oil but messy! Cheaper thought.
Loving this series! Thanks!
Great vid, looking forward to seeing the detailing vids 👍👍👍
I just did hoses rad and water pump on my blazer. My temp gauge didn’t work until I flushed the coolant if that tells you how nasty the coolant was when I bought it
follower since my first year at middle school, you've been great!!!!!!! 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you so much for your support!
your always welcome. 😊😊😊😊😊
Be safe during the hurricane!
Good job Kyle!
Thanks for watching!
ChrisFix would be chuffed!
Never thought I’d be so interested in a jimmy like this comment if u thought the same
Wow good job! If I had done it I would’ve broke something or lost a bolt lol
That's usually the case with me, but I got lucky on this one hahaha.
Great videos Kyle! Love the the content :) It looks like you got a screw in your left front tire.
Thank you!! I double checked and it was just a rock, thankfully haha.
Hey! This video showed up in my alerts this time!!!
Glad to hear!!
Lovin' the resto series.
Thanks for watching!
LOL the O'Riley hat :D
I can't wait to see it at the end of the series, that thing is going to be filthy haha
Awesome video - great project
Not sure what part of NC you are in. However I hope you and your loved ones are safe.
Take care
Good job Kyle ! I love this truck and what you are doing with it. Also I cant understand what sort of idiotic mechanic folded the hose like that... I sure hope you get around to putting the digital instrument cluster in it as well.
Thanks so much! Lots of folks want to see the digital cluster go in. I'm going to do whatever I need to make it happen!
Good job Kyle!!!!
Thanks Jason!!
Great job cant wait for more videos
Loved the video, keep up the good work
Awesome man, thank you!
What kind of oil catch pan was that? I like the little built in spout which would make dumping used oil back into the jug much easier than ones that don’t have that.
I bought it at O'Reilly, don't remember the brand right off though. They typically carry them in stock, it's super handy.
Be careful for the hurricanes
My 94 chevy had just the o ring for the thermostat and no gasket. Put it back together and it leaked everywhere lol
I'm about to replace the water pump on my GMC Sierra, with the same engine, should be good!
Good luck! If it's like the Jimmy's setup, it's a piece of cake!
can't wait for the next video!
Your support is always appreciated!
Nice job man 👍
Thanks a lot!
I hope you’re okay from Hurricane Florrence!
Awesome video Kyle!
Thanks man!
Kyle, you aren’t in the hurricanes path are you? I just remembered you’ve filmed some older videos in Carolina.
If so stay safe.
Serious question, if the original engine was a V6 and you engine swapt it to a V8, wouldnt the supreme belt go on diffeferent? And how would you know how it goes on?
Kelly Davis in Macon GA 🦅
Good job well done bro
Thanks dude!
It sounds like my 350 did in my 94 suburban did!
Hey kyle, you totally gotta meet scotty kilmer sometime, then you will have met the 2 in total top yt mechanics
Does this car have bluetooth and satellite radio and backup camera and blind spot detection and lane departure warning and mp3 plug in. Good job with the video.
NO!
Good job 👌
Thanks!
Sabbkyle please give you jimmy some engine mods so it sounds and respond a little nicer! 😊

I'd like to do the new GTS one day!
Awesome !!!! Great video
Wait till the fuel injection spider goes out
You didn't have to bleed the air out of the cooling system?
How’s the 240 doing?
I wish so bad could buy that front bumper off of the parts Jimmy I need one for my 92 Chevrolet s10
