Anyone know to remove this turn signal hinge piece off of a base first gen s10? It doesn't have tilt and I'm not sure how to remove the shroud.

My turn signal lever broke off but the metal piece got stuck inside and I can't replace the lever until I get it out. Anyone know of a solution?

I'm trying to remove my ignition cylinder but it's stuck. So a while back I replaced the ignition cylinder on my 89 S10. However, the new one I bought didn't have the little wedge on the cylinder that the pin/screw goes through. So after I put in the new cylinder, I tried putting the little...

Hey guys! So I just bought a 1984 S15 a few days ago, great truck so far, but still needs a transfer case. I'm wondering if I could use another newer transfer case? It original should be a NP207, but am I able to use something else like a NP231 or something else? I'm just looking for something...

Was driving through our little town and saw an interesting first Gen Sonoma at the local repair shop. It was a Sonoma SST... I've never heard of an SST, I didn't get a pic of it as I was driving. I'm hoping I'll see it again so I can post a pic. It had full body molding and arches, roll pan and...

Hey guys I have a 88' S10 Extended Cab Long Bed that I'm looking to do a LS swap on. Now before I get started I'm planning on rebuilding this truck from the inside out. I'm restoring the whole frame, stripping and rust treating the interior and refinishing pretty much everything. What I'm trying...

When I turn in my headlights and my parking lights, my gauges go out of wack as well as my turn signal arrows being lit up without turning them on and my high beam indicater with low beams on. What fuses can I check to help remedy this and what wires may be burning? I’m assuming my best bet is...

I finished the Rear lift. Did the shackles and had to order new mount plates and U bolts for the shocks to get then on since the stud was so rotted out she snapped. Now how do I go about my front lift? I have new spindles, brake lines and front shocks. What needs to come out to get the spindles in?

I have a 92 Sonoma GT that I want to put a v8 in. At my local junkyard there is a 4.6l northstar v8 out of a 2006 cadillac srx. Ive done a little research and from what I've been able to tell there are no manual options for this engine setup? The engine itself would be $450 to pull from the...

I bought a 3-5” inch lift for my truck (89 s10, rear wheel drive, long bed). After installing the drivers side shackle I attempted to remove the bottom bolt for the shock and the head snapped clean off. I managed to remove the shock and planned to heat and vice grip the bolt out but there is a...

Hi everybody, I recently put some 31x10.5x15 tires on my 83 4x4 s10. They drive fine on the road, but more aggressive offroading causes a lot of rubbing. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good lift kit? I don't want anything crazy, 2-2.5 inches at most...from what I've been seeing I...

Hello, I have a '88 S10 and i'm looking to install one of the digital clusters from the 89-94 models into it. It seems they have different plugs, but I'm not 100% sure. Any advice on this would be appreciated, I've attached pictures of the cluster i'm looking to install. It is almost...

Hey y'all! One of the fuel injector connectors on top of my carburetor is burnt and I think that may be causing problems with my very rough idle, terrible fuel economy, and hard start. Has anyone had any experience with something like this in the past and/or any tips to test/replace them...

I'm looking for a long bed, red interior S10 for a project I've got in mind. If anybody has anything for sale (Ideally '91 or '92 but beggars can't be choosers lol), I'd love to talk. I'm in VA but willing to travel.

From what I've heard, one of the easiest swaps you can do for the 2.8 is a 350. I would like to do this soon but I need to know everything I'm going to need and I cant find all that much about it. I would also like tips from people who have done this swap before. Anything will help I just need...

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.

I have a 1989 s10 with the 4.3l, it's naturally aspirated and i jusy want some more horses. I was thinking about carburetor swapping it, headers, intake, and cams. Im not looking for anything crazy and it's my daily so still needs to be easy to drive. What should i get, and how do i know the if...

I have the 3.08 rear end ratio in my 1993 S10 and I’d like to make it limited slip. I’d like to get a posi rear end that’s similar but I don’t know how that would work since I have 4wd. I don’t want it tearing itself apart. So what should I look for and find in regards to rear ends. And how do I...
