My go to for my '89 s-10 parts is LMC TRUCK they have helped with a lot of GM truck parts ! 😊
@@rogerstephens8019 yessir, they are one of the most reliable options available 👍
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
Yup they're great vehicles, just getting old enough now to start needing complete restorations. One piece at a time lol thanks for the comment 🙂
Had an 88 s10 4x4 as my first truck, I miss that thing...
Heck yeah, they're great first vehicles. My first was a red '87 single cab long-bed 2wd and I drove the wheels off that thing
..."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
@@blackfrost273industries4 jump on it! A 5-speed v-6 is a hard to find option these days and if they kept records, you know it was probably treated nice 🤌
@@hotrod4d I appreciate the interaction! I plan to do just that. Extended cab with side seats attached in the back. He said it does not leak oil, all the rubber/suspension is taken care of and it does not pop or grind gears and the heater works well. I''m cautious as he listed for 4400 then 3500 and I told him my current price to 2800 without haggling. But I believe him easy enough. I am going to be pretty diligent tonight looking is over. I will try to reply with how it goes!
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
@@walkerc5644 sorry for the late reply! Get familiar with a meter unless you replace the whole wiring harness cus the older wiring can just crack and short at any point. There are also connectors between the dash and firewall I've heard can be a pain and act like a bad ground
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
Yeah I've heard about that technique, gonna have to try it! I've heard it's even harder on the 2nd gens though
@@hotrod4d Oh yeah forget about the 2nd gens lol
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.
Yup drove me crazy too, till I figured out what was causing the noise 🤣🤣 anymore I'm leaning towards graphite based lubes since they don't attract dust
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.
Good things to mention! The dashes have lots of fun breakable parts in/under there 😅
@@hotrod4d i also forgot to mention the turn signal and hazard relays and the turn signal and hazard switches in the column luckily my switches came alive with some qd contact cleaner after i replaced the relays for the turn signals and hazards which were bad as well
@@Initial_Gopnik yeah pretty much anything electronic or plastic is going to be super delicate and possibly corroded. I just tell people to grab as many of those parts as you can when you find them in junkyards
Help ! Change ignition on 84 S15
Can anyone tell me any common problems with the 88 with the 2.8 crank spark fuel and air but not running
So the ignition control modules on these are known for failing from heat and the fuel pressure regulators can sometimes be faulty. Does it try to sputter when you crank it or is there 0% spark activity? Have you tried spraying some starting fluid into it when you crank it?
@@hotrod4d yes I have tried starting fluid and it tries to sputter sometimes and I recently replaced the fuel pressure regulator I'm buying a new distributor cause I came across it being horribly out of time but I don't think that's my only problem
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
Of course, I'll be happy to help any way I can 👍
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.
On one of my stock units I took the hood off so I could see if the injectors were acting weird while driving and sure enough they acting funky under acceleration. The fuel pumps themselves are also temperamental too but the cat being clogged might also cause similar problems. Fuel, air, and spark; once you find which one of these the engine lacks you find your problem
@hotrod4d thankyou. I'm going to look I to this and thanks for such a fast reply.
@@C4H3R1GO04 of course, I appreciate the channel engagement and am always happy to help out a fellow s10 lover
@hotrod4d hey bud, it's been awhile. Ran into new peoblem. No crank no start. Turns our it's bad ignition switch. Trying to replace it. Plastic sensors that screw into brake pedal having trouble removing them to get to the ignition switch. Any ideas/ auggestions anything helps I know it's a little late but it's worth a shot asking. Hoping to have it running by Monday afternoon if not at latest the end of this weekend.
Ok I've got a 94 s10 blazer can someone tell me why there's no wires or plug in on my crank sensor and seem can't to get it in time or TDC right any suggestions would be greatly appreciated..... I've unplug brown wire tried getting number 1 up comp side still out ?????

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
Stock engine or V8 swapped?
@@hotrod4d stock 2.5 V6. i
@@hernxnperez9567 I'd start with the fuel system first, the tbi system on those was known for the spider injectors failing and the fuel pumps like to die too. Also check the vacuum system to make sure everything is plugged in and not leaking cus these things hate vacuum leaks
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.
Great comment, let's see if I can help out! For $6k it should be a solid driver with minimal issues but nothing too wild. Get ready to put it on a lift or get under it with a flashlight to check the frame and underside for rust damage paying special attention to the cab mounts, frame, rockers, cab corners, and front floor pans section. For that price it would be nice to have an upgraded rear-end like a ford 8.8 or 9in but even a basic posi/locker should be there. Look at the headers and see if they fit good or did they have to bash a cheap set in place, long-tubes are also always a good thing to see. Also ask if it was lowered properly with new spindles in the front, just lowering springs, or if they just chopped/heated the coils the wrong way. Also ask about the rear suspension when asking about the rear to see if it was just lowered on blocks or if it has real lowering leaf-springs, but blocks aren't bad for the rear.
Look at the harness and electronics under the hood and dash to see if it looks all cobbled together or if everything is tucked away and done right. Also your gauges should mostly work for that kind of money depending on the set-up (digitals are hard to get working).
Motor and trans should also be in decent shape, check the fluids to see if anything looks or smells burnt especially the transmission. I prefer a 700r4 or other overdrive in these as the th350/400 likes to wind up a little high on the interstate. The manual windows are actually great as long as they are maintained, the factory electric motors in the power windows fail a lot.
The new wheels are a plus but if the tires aren't, check them for wear patterns to maybe get an idea of how the truck is handling.
Overall you should get a solid driver for that much with maybe some minor wear and tear and don't expect A/C lol
I hope that helps and if you have any further questions feel free to ask and follow the channel for more S10 content. I'm also in several FB groups that are great like S10 handling and some other v8 s10 swap groups
Hope all that helped!
@hotrod4d this was just the info i needed. I'll be subbing for sure. I'll hit you up with other questions as well. Thanks!
@@mr.stealyourgrill1190 of course, happy to help!
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?
Yeah if there was any kind of arcing, work your way back up the system starting with that coil pack
@@hotrod4d I don't think it's spark? There's no more problems with an arcing anywhere I'm testing the fuel system now I think it's low fuel pressure? I've already replaced the fuel pump twice so maybe it's the in-line filter under the driver seat :-) or could be the fuel relay?
@@terrywalters5410 another good area to check, definitely replace that filter and keep an eye on the injectors. The spider injector system is notorious for failing
@@hotrod4d yeah I can see the fuel squirting out of the injector on the throttle body I think it's the knock sensor on the driver side? When I put my own meter on it in the vice and tap on the device there's no movement. Plus everyone keeps telling me there's a knock sensor on the passenger side on the back of the cylinder head but it's so hard to look back there I don't see it?
@@terrywalters5410not all of them have 2 knock sensors to my knowledge but my 93 4.3 s10 blazer has 2, i just rewired the one on the back of the head, its just below the mounting bracket for the transmission dipstick, use a mirror itll help find it. Its a 22mm but you need a wrench, a socket wont fit on it because the wiring harness is in the way and its clamed down with a metal clamp so you cant move it unless you can get it undone but it was much easier to just stick a wrench back there than to try to undo the harness.
do you know where i can get a endgate seal for a 1989 s10 blazer
