I'm not saying gm failed with the s10. I come from the s10 years. They sold what seems like a trillion of them. Where they failed in the 90s is that they didn't compete with the Dakota with the v8 engines. If s10s would have had an ss model with the year appropriate Lt/Ls engines they would have been a major success.

I tell you what the little six cylinders and four cylinders weren't bad for what these trucks were really intended I owned a 4-cylinder as my personal vehicle back in the 90s when I was riding High School my 1995 Chevy S10 was my first brand new vehicle I ever bought but I had a service vehicle later on that was an S10 has an alarm technician with the 6 cylinder in it and that thing it would go pretty good it wasn't a race car or nothing it was just a work truck but it was a good little work truck

I have a 1988 Red S10 my dad bought brand spanking new in 88. Was pampered its whole life. I had it repainted a few years ago and it looks like a brand new truck. No rust, no dents, no anything. I had the iron duke 2.5 rebuilt but im wanting a v8 now. The only problem is the truck is so nice and original that I dont wanna chop it all up for a v8. Im told the original 5 speed stick cant handle a v8, nor can the original rear end. Is that true??? I just want a stock v8....no race engines or anything.

I think the hole in the pan was done to comply with whatever state you live in EPA regs. Most salvage yards can't have any fluids in the cars, so they drain the oil, radiator...and since there's no drain plug on a transmission, hammer a hole in it... in Illinois, salvage yards can sell used tires, used rims, but can't sell mounted tires...🤔

Hey bud, enjoy your videos. I have a 98 ext cab 2.2 5 speed I am hoping to exchange for an ls this summer. Gonna try to go as low buck as possible. One question; you re-used all the stock lifters except the one you had to replace? I don't have much experience with roller cams but I know on flat tappet cams you usually replace the lifters with the cam. Also wanted to give you a helpful hint; next time you have a broken stud instead of welding a "booger" on it and struggling with channel locks get yourself a nut that has about the same size hole as the stud diameter, place it on the end of the stud and fill the hole with weld. Then you can remove it with a socket or a wrench. Much less effort and frustration. Thanks for the videos, and any insight you can provide.
@MuletownSpeedandDyno4 жыл бұрын
Hey Austin. Thanks for watching. I did just replace the one bad lifter. The nice thing about roller cams is you don't have to keep track of lifters vs cam lobes. so when one goes bad, you don't have to replace all of them. If it were a customer engine id replace all of them but you dont have to.
@austinknowlton17834 жыл бұрын
Thanks for getting back to me, and thanks for the info. My powertrain is a 4.8 LR4 and a 4L60E from a 2000 silverado. I plan on replacing the cam with the same "sloppy" Elgin cam that you used. Was wondering if I should replace the lifters but now I think if they look ok my money would be better spent on replacing the valve springs like you did. Also have an 8.5 rear with 3.42 gears and an Eaton locker out of another s10. Think it might be a better choice than the stock 4.10 open diff that came in the truck. Wouldn't mind having your opinion on that, along with any other insight you may have.

You can even throw in an LSX that gets you upwards of 454ci. Just a bunch more money. LS blocks are dimensionally similar externally. I’ve got an ‘03 extended cab that I have some big plans for, including an LS3(6.2L) and a built 4L60E trans. Would love to get the 6L80 in, but too large for the S10 transmission tunnel and they seem to suffer from the reliability lottery. Some handle good power without failure, but some can’t even handle stock power levels without failing.

The v6 rad cooled it just fine. The fan was a leftover spal fan from a work project that interfaced with the harness and was controlled by the pcm.
