Q: Anyone know where I can find a used pickup bed for a 1997 chevy s-10 pickup truck?
I would appreciate it seeing as how i was in a wreck and was hit from behind so now im trying to sprue my truck up again
A: I have a 62 chevy myself.
Check the junk yard. They part out cars that are deposited there, it’s good for body parts and unusual parts like exhaust manifolds.
Also, check the utility bed dealerships. They remove stock beds and install their beds. They do SOMETHING with the ones they take off, right?
Keep an eye out for ads, you never know.
Q: On a 1994 Chevy S-10 pickup truck, which fuse does the airbag use?
I need to replace the heater core in my ‘94 Chevy S-10, so I have to first take apart the dashboard. To avoid activating the airbag, the Haynes manual recommends removing the fuse, but there doesn’t appear to be a fuse specifically for the airbag. Any advice would be appreciated.
A: pull all fuses20 amps or above :O)
Q: Does anyone have a 1996 Chevy S-10 Pickup?
I have a used S-10 and want to know if the interior lights are supposed to come on when the door is opened?
A: I do, and yes they should. And if the key is fully in the ignition, that annoying buzzing noise…
Q: Over drive question on a 2000 Chevy S-10 pickup?
My question is on a 2000 Chevy S-10 pickup is does it have an overdrive in it on the transmission? It has a 2.2 L 4 cyc engine in it with an automatic transimisson. It has the letter D 3 2 1 on the gear shift gage. The letter D does not have a circle around it like most of them do if it does have over drive on it. But is the letter D for overdrive and the number 3 for regular drive for city use?
A: Randy, Your S-10 certainly does have an overdrive. Prove it to yourself on a highway where you can go the speed limit. Tuck in “Drive three” and notice the tachometer the rpm’s will increase. Now slide the shifter in “Drive” watch the tach. The rpm’s will drop. I leave my 4.3 S-10 in drive all the time as it has 3.73 gears and all it would otherwise do in Drive 3 is suck more gas.
Q: can you replace a 2.8 liter engine with a 4.3 liter engine and use same transmission in a chevy s-10 pickup?
A: No, the same transmission will not work. The 2.8L is a 60* engine and the 4.3L is a 90* engine like the v8’s.. The bolt pattern for the trans is diff on the 2.8L and 4.3L.
However the 4.3L does share the same trans bolt pattern as the v8 engines. So finding a trans to fit the 4.3L will be easy.. Get one from from a 4.3L or a v8
Q: Looking for bucket seats for Chevy S-10 Pickup?
Does anyone have any good resources I could use. Maybe a website.
A: Ebay has a great selection. You can narrow the search to within a certain number of miles from where you are, or pay shipping from anywhere.
Also try LKQ or another automobile recycler. They will even ship to you.
Q: Can i stack lowering blocks on my 94 chevy s10?
I have some existing lowering blocks on my chevy s-10 pickup and i was wondering if i could place new blocks on top of the old ones for a larger drop or would that be unsafe? I have never used lowering blocks before and want to drop the back as much as the front which is 5-6 inches. Thanks allot!
A: it is totally unsafe . you need to just get 5 in drop springs and a 1 inch block for the total of six inches .. however i hate drop blocks . they corrode and wear loose and can fall out . you really have to keep a eye on them. drop leaf springs run about $100. that is what i use in my s-10 projects.. i built the s-10 in my picture. and in my 450 hp small block powered s-10 .
Q: ‘99 Chevy S-10 pickup with 2.2l engine. Repairman said that my back spark plug was glued into the engine.?
My s-10 has 140,000 miles on it.
About 4 years ago, 50-60 thousand miles ago, I took my truck into a dealership for a tune up. They changed the spark pugs then. About a week ago, my truck started to run poorly and bog down at about 40mph and on.
The mechanic that is working on my truck now said on the back spark plug, he spent about 2 hours trying to take it out. It was spinning with the socket, just not pulling out. When he finally got it out, he said that both ends were almost burned off. He also said that there was some kind of compound that was holding it in. The previous person who changed my spark plugs had “glued” the spark plug into the engine. He is not sure if he will be able to put in a new spark plug.
My questions are:
What should I have the mechanic do? Fix the problem (put new heads on it) or do a quick fix (try to glue a new one back in)?
What are the chances that the new glued in one will hold up long enough to trade my truck in so it runs well at the dealership?
What kind of glue would have the first mechanic used?
Any other information or answers that I may have missed would be helpful as well!
Thanks!
A: If your mechanic has never heard of Heli-coils, then it’s time to find a new mechanic.
Q: heater problems in a 95 chevy s-10 pickup?
I’ve noticed recently (when I installed a new heater switch) that sometimes the heater will not work. I have to pop the hood and tap on the heater fan housing (on the passenger side against the firewall). usually it starts right up. recently I installed a new sony stereo head unit. I waited to install the dash kit and when i was using the unit without the dash kit the heater was working as before. Now I installed the dash kit, and the heater still works exactly as before but it cuts off in about 5-10 seconds. I can tap the housing and it comes back on but, but it still cuts back off in about 10 seconds. is it a ground or something…and what do I do to fix it? PLEASE HELP! I need my heater cuz i currently have a broken window!!! IT’S WINTER!!!!!!
A: if you tap on the housing and it start to work, replace the fan motor. the electrical parts inside the fan motor is worn out.
Q: how can i swap a chevy 2.8l v-6 carburerated engine with a same size TBI one?
I have a 1984 chevy S-10 pickup trk, 2wd, with a carburerated 2.8L V-6 (173cu in 2bbl). the engine has a severe knock. I have a good 1990 2.8 L V-6 that is thottle body injected. will it interchange without major modifications? or what will I have to do to make it work. is it possible to use the manual fuel pump? will I have to change the dampner pulley assy & water pump assy? Please advise as to what options are available.
I want to convert the tbi engine to carburerated setup using my old parts, basically just need to know if I can use the basic long block assembly from the TBI unit?
A: It can be done, but will require some work, you will need , a in-tank fuel pump setup, You will also require a different ecm and harness assy, to run the tbi unit. I have done a couple, go for it.

Q: Can I use Synthetic oil in an older vehicle ?
I have a 1988 chevy S-10 pickup with a 2.8 v/6 that runs great.
I have changed the oil every 3000 miles. Can I start using Synthetic oil, and will it help ? It has 130,000 miles.
A: yes but there would be no benefit to doing so. the synthetic oil will creep past the rings due to the extra “slipperiness” of the synthetic costing more in add on oil.
Q: Question about my S-10 transmission?
I have a 1992 Chevy S-10 with a 4.3 liter motor and a 5 speed transmission. My transmission recently blew up on me and after a lot of searching I found a chevy 5 speed transmission that came from a 4.3 engine. After I bought it I then found out that it did not come from a S-10 but a full size chevy pickup so even though it may fit on my engine the end of the trans that fits onto my drive shaft is completely different and it my trans is a little bit longer then the one i purchased. My question is, is there any way that i could use the trans i purchased? Is there any adapters I could buy that would let my drive shaft hook into it or anything?
A: no way to use it with the stock 4.3 engine. take it back and get your money back
Q: 92 Chevy S-10 2.5L 4cyl?
I bought this pickup a couple years ago and when I got it home, tore it down. It had locked up because of blowing a head gasket and froze the pistons.
I took it totally apart and cooked out the block got a used head and had it and the block tested for cracks and leaks, both passed had the head shaved and worked. I went ahead and bought new pistons turned the crank and rebuilt the whole engine with new parts, cam, roller lifters and all.
Upon completion of this from the first time it started it it fired right up, but had a bump or miss to the idle. The gear shift would dolly back and forth in neutral as it idled it was prevelent, something was wrong. It compression checks good on the two outside cylinders, but varies on the two center. I can loosen and tighten the rocker studs and it will smooth out for a minute then back to the miss again.
I have changed the lifters, pumping them up first. I have tried shims under the rockers. Shaved head to low for push rod? Deck of block?
I have narrowed it down to exhaust valves staying open too long…
A: i’ve been a master ASE technician for a few years now…. i’ve addressed this problem time and again. this totally sounds like the valve timing is off. first bring it up to top dead center on number one.if you aready done this bear with me… do it again. make sure the dot on the camshaft is top dead center and the crankshaft mark is at the o position. the distributor rotor should be pointing at the number one cylinder. check this before proceding… it is very important.
Q: Did you see this??? Another crime by another ILLEGAL!!?
Illegal alien charged in vehicular homicide
Alcohol suspected in crash that killed 18-year-old
——————————————————————————–

Another illegal alien, suspected of being intoxicated, has been charged with vehicular homicide in the death of an 18-year-old Tennessee man.
Luis Oscar Garcia, 24, a Mexican who had been living in the U.S. without a green card for three years, was ordered held without bail this week on the vehicular homicide charge as well as driving under the influence.
The victim in the crash was James F. Rogers Jr. of North Jackson, Tenn.
A preliminary hearing is set for Sept. 7, and it is likely Garcia, who speaks little English, will use a court-appointed attorney for his defense.
According to the Jackson Sun, Garcia’s 1995 Chevy S-10 pickup ran a red light while traveling north on the U.S. 45 Bypass at Oil Well Road about 2 a.m. Saturday. He slammed into the ‘95 Honda Civic that Rogers was driving westbound on Oil Well.
Police said Garcia had a strong odor of alcohol on his person and that his pants were soaked with a liquid that indicated the presence of alcohol. There also were two beer bottles, one partially filled, in the truck at the time of the accident, police said.
In addition to the vehicular homicide and DUI charges, Garcia faces counts of driving without a license, registration or proof of insurance. When police did a check on his license plate, it did not come back under his name, the report said.
As WND reported, illegal aliens – mostly driving unregistered and uninsured and without valid licenses – are causing mayhem on America’s highways.
While no one – in or out of government – tracks traffic accidents caused by illegal aliens, the statistical and anecdotal evidence suggests many of last year’s 42,636 road deaths involved illegal aliens.
A report by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Study found 20 percent of fatal accidents involve at least one driver who lacks a valid license. In California, another study showed that those who have never held a valid license are about five times more likely to be involved in a fatal road accident than licensed drivers.
Statistically, that makes them an even greater danger on the road than drivers whose licenses have been suspended or revoked – and nearly as dangerous as drunk drivers.
In addition, the states with the most illegal aliens also have the most unlicensed drivers. Those states are also in the lead for the most hit-and-run accidents, according to reports issued by the Fatality Analysis Reporting System and the Pew Hispanic Center. California ranks at the top with 24.1 percent of the known 11.1 million illegal aliens.
to “sf ca” YOU are MISSING the whole point (along with the REST of the PRO crowd)!!!! Crimes commited by ILLEGALS are PREVENTABLE crimes!!! It’s like saing, “If that man hadn’t left his gun lying about, his child wouldn’t have SHOT him”!!!! GET IT??? And, just WHAT is your little survey trying to prove??? That AMERICANS outnumber ILLEGALS??? We ALREADY know that!!! So, of couse there are going to be MORE crimes committed by citizens!!!!!
A: To all of you goofballs that rebut this question with the usual “Americans commit crimes too”crap,that isn’t the point.The point is that illegal aliens shouldn’t be here in the first place.Wake the hell up and quit making excuses for these ILLEGALS.
Q: Why do the exhaust fumes from my truck smell like rotten eggs?
I have a 1992 chevy s-10 pickup. I was just wondering why my exhaust fumes smell like rotten eggs. there isnt any water in the gas, and i use the correct octane of gas. I dont think there is anything wrong with the engine, as it runs fine. i just want to know the source of this smell. Also, i did have one other question. when i start the truck, the fan always come on. the fan right behind the radiator that pulls air through it when you arent moving. it does not matter how cold it is, that fan always comes on when i start the truck. so if you can help me with any of these things, thank you.
A: as a catalytic converter becomes bad Sulfur builds up in it and as you know raw sulfur smells like rotten eggs, also as it is heated up sulfur smells worse. and as said before when the exhaust goes through the cat conv the temp of the air is read and is sent back to the fan on whether or not it needs to be on, so needless to say you need a new catalytic converter. and while your at it throw a Flowmaster on it they sound good on those trucks
