Hey guys! I have a super clean 60k mile 97 s10 4x4 extended cab with the 4l60e auto transmission. It recently went out on me so I’m deciding to swap in a nv3500 manual rwd transmission! Is there anything I should know before hand? Also how do the driveshaft lengths compare? I know that I need to...

2002 GMC Sonoma Ext Cab. 4.3 Vortec, automatic transmission Well around a week or so ago, my truck overheated really badly. I blew both head gaskets, melted a fuel injector poppet, broke #1?? (unsure) piston, scratched wall of said piston. I also intend on getting a timing job done. What else...

So I have a 1989 S10, 4.3, V6. This was owned by one other gentleman and he only did routine maintenance. The only issue there was when I bought it was a fuel pump issue. It sat for about three years. since then I have done the following... -fuel pump -spark plugs -wires -cap and rotor -water...

So I have a pretty much stock 91 4.3 4x4 and I was looking at building it up. But my problem is I like off-roading but I still like speed and I want to make a decent balance between quick and strong to hold up to logging roads and mud holes but still handle good on the road.

So a while ago i straight piped my s10, i have the 4.3l and i love the sound, although my neighbors hate it. When i did this i just snipped the o2 sensor and figured it wouldnt matter, but im not sure anymore. I did the exhaust about 2 months ago, recently after a car meet, where i revved the...

Hey guys, I searched and searched but could not find the info needed. I'm going to be installing a new clutch kit and flywheel on my 1994 4.3 "Z" VIN 4x4 manual s10 and I'm trying to order the parts in advance. I notice there are two different casting numbers for the flywheel: 10218655 and...

Just about done rebuilding my 4L60E for my 2000 4.3L S10. To get this transmission ready to put back in I am cleaning all of my grounds. I removed the battery and bracket it sits on to get at the grounds and I found a plug just lying on the chassis not plugged into anything. I cannot figure out...

Hello my truck has recently started hard starting every time I go to start it. The exception to this is when I get gas right after I get gas will start fast no problem like before but before I really even get down to 3/4 tank it will do the same thing as before. It also has a rougher idle than...

I have a 91 s10 blazer with the 4.3. Occasionally it had white smoke out of the exhaust, but it was mainly noticeable in park or when stopped at a red light. The coolant levels are consistent and haven't needed to be topped off. It has a slight misfire during idle in park, but runs rough in...

So I want a cam that’s going to increase hp and torque that’s reliable and I don’t have to do any machining or valve train work to. Any suggestions on cam options or what specs I can get away with? I have a 2000 zr2 4.3

Ok, so I bought a 93 s10 with a 4.3. While messing around changing plug wires and checking some other stuff I managed to bump the coolant line that goes to the back of the intake beside the distributor. Any good ideas on how to get this out and after/if I get it out, can I just plug it off? I...

So I've got my 95' S10 still running good. About to replace the front discs and rear shoes. I previously stated I would do a rebuild, but I've decided against it. I want to go for a crate motor. From what I've seen, it's cheaper and has what I want to do with my truck. My major issue is that I...

May be simple may not be. I bought a 97 s10 4.3l 5 speed about a year ago it’s super sketchy but runs, has what looks like a kill switch under the dash and everything else. Every now and then it seemed like the starter would skip so i popped it off and it was only held by one of the two bolts...

I have a 91 Chevy C1500 with a 4.3l out of a 93 astro van that burns oil badly, it smokes upon start up and I just noticed tonight that it was smoking when I was driving. I've got oil all over the underside of the engine, the trans and almost everything in between. Just did an oil change and put...
