Steps to make my truck a daily driver

I’m moving to the beach in oct (possibly) and my current and only vehicle I can take down there is my 1992 4.3l s10.
It will be towed down by my brother, I don’t dare take it on the interstate. I wanna be able to daily drive it, what steps need to be taken to make that happen? I already wanna change my back gear ratio to something higher. Curious what yall come up with.

Specs
1992 4.3l automatic s10, 140,000k.
Assume everything is stock (cuz it is)

So 3rd update on my ac problems…..

My blower motor now doesn’t turn on. I don’t really know what could’ve happened. My main theory is i yanked on something while pulling out the blower motor housing and something broke. I tested the relay connector by the blower, I have 12v on red but everything else is dead. That harness traced back to the fuse box and my fan controls, I have no power at either of those places. So I’m not really sure what to trace.

So update on my ac problems

So I was unable to find a video on how to take off what I needed to clean my evaporator. So after free handing it for a few hours and a few words said, finally got it off. There was a good amount of just gunk and leaves built up. How do I go about cleaning the fins on the evaporator? Should I use compressed air or try a shop vac?

Also, this was one of the worst projects I’ve done to this thing in a minute. I’ve hated every second.

Ac problems

I’m having an issue where I’m not getting cold air into the cab. Part of it i think is these seals are bad. The top and bottom tar like seal I can air blowing back into the engine bay. The seam in the middle also feels like there is air coming back out. Would this cause me to lose some cold air into the cab? Or is this nothing to worry abt?

The dream

The dream of having the blazer next to my old girl. Feel like it would complete my collection.

Looking for some mod/upgrade ideas for my 92

I have a 1992 s10 and I’m at a point where I want to upgrade some things but I don’t know what. I’m not real big into performance upgrades (possible cold air intake if anything), I’m thinking more of looks or quality of life changes.

I’ve already replaced the speakers and radio, I plan on reinstalling my headliner when I find some sound deadening material for it. I’ve put in new headlights but I’m not sure they will stay for long.

Love to hear what yalls ideas are.

Ac help

My 1992 s10 was converted from r12 to r134a a while ago and I’m trying to recharge it. It’s not blowing cold and the compressor is being weird. What’s up with it? Overcharged? Undercharged? Bad compressor?

Changed my speaker, sounds amazing

Much better than hearing static all the time.
Radio* not speaker, mb

This how it’s supposed to be?

I am by no means familiar with how an old truck runs and have no idea what I’m taking abt ever. This seems like it’s either sticking the throttle a bit or dumping and catching up

Need help tracing a fuel problem.

So I’ve been having some fuel issues with my 4.3 L 1992 s10 Tahoe package for awhile. For awhile it would bog down randomly after like 20 mins, then it did it after 5, and now it’s like it dumps fuel when I go from a stop. It bogs really heavy and has to catch up. I replaced the fuel pump and assembly and fuel filter bc it was over 30 years old. That didnt help.

I’m really lost here

Need some help

I replaced the speed sensor on my 1992 s10 and now it’s making this weird noise. It seems to be an exact part to what I replaced so I’m not sure.

Speaker help

I got some new speakers for my 1992 s10 and they both work great but I have 2 issues.

  1. My front left speaker won’t sit all the way in bc of this plastic bit

  2. My front right speaker has constant crackling/static even with nothing playing. I’ve swapped the speakers and both work great. It is something with the wiring on the right that’s bugging out.

Possible worth?

Bought this off whatnot awhile ago and never checked the prices. I got it cheap but I’m curious abt its possible worth. Someone was trying to sell one on eBay for 80 but I’ve seen other versions of this card go for 40-60. Curious what yall think.

Price on getting a set of 4 original speakers?

I need speakers for my 1992 s10 and the aftermarket’s I’ve seen are expensive. I wanna see about getting originals put in again but I can’t find a parts truck to get them out of yet. If I can find a parts truck, how much would be a fair offer for them? If someone knows a cheap aftermarket alternative for my s10, that would be appreciated.
