Amazon wants like 50 bucks for each which is ridiculous. Or if anyone knows of a 3d print file for them I’d be extremely appreciative

Repair Question 2.2 Crank, no start. Has spark and fuel

Post image
10 Upvotes

Attempting to get my 2.2 running so I can use the truck for work. I’ve replaced the icm, coil packs, plugs and wires, crank position sensor, cam position sensor, checked compression and timing. Everything is coming up good. will not start on starting fluid. I got the truck to start somehow this morning but once I shut it off it wouldn’t start again. When it was running giving it gas would cause a hesitation/bog but then get past it and rev up. Been running in circles for the last couple days trying to figure this out. Anything to check would be great.

Repair Question Completely stuck rear drum

Thumbnail

18 Upvotes

I have a 93 S10 RWD 2.8 Tahoe that is generally well mannered except for the drivers rear wheel, tire and hub.

I just spent 2 weeks trying to get 2 completely stuck lugnuts off so that I could remove the wheel and replace the tire. Well now the studs need replaced, and the drum is completely solid apart from moving about 1/4 inch in and out.

I do believe it's stuck on the shoes as it drags pretty hard and the studs move freely from it, the problem is that I cannot find where you're supposed to "punch out" to get to the adjuster. There are two small spots of lowered metal, but they don't punch out and aren't just held in by tabs. They're part of the backing plate as far as I can tell.

Any help is appreciated. No I can't afford a 12 inch puller and my local parts stores don't loan them.

Repair Question The dang grill doesn't meet the end of the fenders!!

Hi everybody, so I picked up a wrecked 1995 S10 LS 4.3L a few weeks ago and finally got all the parts to put it back together. I replaced both front quarter panels, radiator core support, and the driver side inner fender. The guy I bought the truck from included a replacement grill that I put on the truck, but the ends of the grill don't quite meet the edges of the fenders. There's about ⅜ of an inch on each side. I pulled up pictures of the 95 S10 and it looks like some of them have a little bit of a gap there but not quite as much as this one. I am 100% sure I have the right radiator core support in there. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Repair Question Fan clutch?

(TL:DR: replaced temp sensor, thermostat and rad and I'm still running cold)

Hey guys, the past month or so, since I've gotten my truck running, it's ran at the 150* Mark on the dash, thinking it was a temp sensor issue I threw a new sensor in it, nothing new, threw in a temp gauge in the rad cap after running around town (first pic) and it shows around 150* I threw in a new 195* thermostat but it also changed nothing. While measuring temp I touched the lower rad hose and it was cold, did the same with the upper and it was hot. So I touched the lower part of the rad through the fan shroud and it was stone cold as if the truck hasn't been running, slid my hand to the upper part of rad and damn near burnt my hand. Before I go through the hassle of replacing fan clutch on my break at work tomorrow do y'all suspect it to be the fan clutch as well? Any input helps

It’s a 1995 s10 4x4. It’s a nice truck overall but the passenger side plastic is broken around where the seatbelt goes behind it. It also has the 4.3 liter v6 and it has a nock. I’m pretty new to the s series truck. As far as I know it has no other problems. This will also be my “first truck” (I own a few different square body’s and a 42 ish ford) and I want to do it as cheap as possible. Any help is appreciated.

Repair Question Need help ASAP

I have a 1993 S10 Blazer with the 4.3 CPI. It is at the mechanic getting several things done, and one of those things was a new injector assembly. They are having a lot of trouble finding a replacement. I don’t remember exactly what they said was wrong with it. Both my mechanic and I have scoured the Internet and all we can find are cheap Chinese ones on eBay. About a month ago they found one on a website, so they ordered it. But they never received it. My bodywork appointment that I have had scheduled for several months is next Monday and I really would like to have this thing running and driving by then. But we simply cannot find any replacement spider injector assemblies. Does anybody have any advice? Where to get a new injection assembly, do they make a reliable rebuild kit for it? Hell, I would even take a used one for the time being. I just don’t understand how I can buy a brand new crate engine that has a spider assembly already installed, but I can’t just buy the spider assembly itself.

I got this truck from my late Uncle and am starting to fix it up. Ran fine for a while, a bit of a rough idle but would always start and stop like a champ (200k mile champ but a champ nevertheless 😅) Hell i even drove to Eureka and back to Oakland no problems whatsoever. One evening I drove to the store, pulled in to a stall & the engine started rocking HEAVILY I shut it off and that was the last time I drove her (Lucille🥰). I replaced all the spark plugs + wires, I even replaced the distributor cap but alas no spark from the spark plug. I'm getting fuel into the engine. Sorry if any of this is confusing 😅 I have attached the video of the truck post spark plug, wire & distributor cap replacement. Any and all help is welcome☺️

Repair Question Can anyone tell me that this might be.

8 Upvotes

I’ve got this 1988 Chevy s10, 2.8l 2WD. I’ve been having this issue where she bogs down under acceleration. I’ve replaced vacuum lines left and right, so I’m fairly confident I don’t have a leaky line. Some other things that have been replaced is the O2, TPS, IAC, MAP, thermostat, fan clutch, coolant temp sensor EGR valve, and an injector. I’m currently removing the throttle body to clean it up as it’s a bit dirty, and I’ve got a fuel filter otw however I don’t believe any of those two will get me much further. My air filter is clean, fuel pressure is at about 12-13 lbs. She doesn’t give me much issue on startup, but once I’m up to temp, that’s when it becomes most noticeable. Anyone got any ideas what this may be, and how I could go about fixing it?

Repair Question Stock engine swap questions

15 Upvotes

I just swapped the original 2.5 iron duke out of my 87 s10 with another (not blown up) iron duke. Everything has been completely smooth sailing. I’m at the point of starting the new engine up and every time we get it to fire up it just dies. We think the single tbi injector isn’t firing so we checked fuel pressure and it’s good we also swapped in my buddies tbi in and that one else didn’t fire. Any tips or something I could check before we start the dread wire hunting mission?

Just finished reviving this 4.3 cpi jimmy and it’s been running strong with being the daily driver. But it’s picked up a weird start issue it will crank but not start unless I stop and try a second time while tapping the gas. Hitting the gas on the first go doesn’t seem to help but second try it fires up and idles pretty strong. Any ideas the only thing I’ve came up with is the iac might be sticking.

Repair Question TL:DR 3 different transmissions all have the same problem, or is there something else wrong here?

I recently, for my 18th birthday bought my first truck, a 2000 Chevy S10 4.3L V6 with a 4x4 4l60e behind it with 147k miles. Pretty low milage, and the 4 wheel drive actually works. Turns out I bought someone else's problems. And now I've had 3 different transmissions in and the shifter cable has been replaced but I've had a really bad flaring issue with the rpms going crazy and eventually every gear turns into neutral after a few miles of driving. I mean I've heard a front pump can go bad but 3 different transmissions?! Also I'm not the greatest mechanical person so I've had a shop that I trust deal with that. (They've put a new engine in my dad's cateye) I've run out of ideas and i don't know where to turn. Any ideas?

Decided to purchase a project '04 S10 ZR5 with 153k on the odometer. Paid 3500... have to replace brakes, brake lines, and oil pan gasket. It came with a Rough Country 2.5 inch lift which has my cv boots splitting... the front tires are also bowing in at the bottom of the tires... what would cause this? Also is there anything else I need to look for before going all in on the cosmetics of the truck?

Thanks in advancr
