r/s10

My first vehicle was an '88 S10, and have loved them since. I moved from the northeast US to sunny California 10 years ago and started taking pictures of the 1st gen S10s I'd frequently see. Made a collage today, thought this community would appreciate!

After the engine is warm there was smoke coming from here. Seems to me like there is some line leaking onto the exhaust manifold. Anybody got an idea where to start looking?

The engine is the 4.3L v6 Much thanks.

Can someone help me identify the year of this truck ? Or any other information , I know the photos are terrible , the truck was my grandpas.

1996 s10 project I’ve been working on for a couple years in the garage. Finally got it on the road and painted over the last few days.

As always, still a couple small things to finish up, but it feels good to be at the “small things” stage.

Original alternator for the truck. 361,000 miles it finally quit. On my way to work of course.

2000 Chevy S10 (2.2L) showing codes for P0133, P0141, P0325 & P0410

Hello S10 friends & family lately I have been running into the issue of my S10 dying on me at idle or when I come to a complete stop. I know the P0325 code is for the knock sensor & the P0410 code is for the Secondary Air Injection (A.I.R) system. I also found out I have holes in my exhaust (pictured) & that the grommet for the air intake resonator assembly is practically gone at this point! Would your recommendations be to start with the knock sensor code & move to the exhaust later or vice versa? New to S10 ownership & I prefer to work on my own vehicles but to my knowledge I have no idea where the knock sensor is on this vehicle.

This is one of my best friends’ 1992 S10. It has 253k on the odometer. I told him I’m looking for a work/beater truck and he told me I could buy it off him if I wanted. He’s asking 3k for it, and has put a good bit of work into it. He’s redone a lot of the wiring, new weather seals, new head gasket and associated work, new motor and transmission mounts and has redone the ventilation system as well as other odds and ends. The only things that I’m slightly hesitant about are that the 1) the engine has a shake to it and 2) there’s some rust bubbling through in the corner of the drivers side door area. He said that the engine has new spark plugs and that it may just need new wires to fix the shake if it’s missing like he suspects it may be. As for the rust, I wouldn’t want it to get really any worse than it is now. Is there a good way to stop it without getting too involved in the process? Thanks for any tips/tricks, I’ve never owned an older vehicle like this before!

Looking to purchase a drop kit for my 1989 s10 blazer 4.3 2WD ! This one I’m currently looking at says 5 inches on the rear / 4.00-5.00 in front ! Will I need a C notch to drop the rear 5 inches ? Any problems y’all can tell me that I will run into ? Looking to drop it as proper as possible ! Don’t want to cheap out and have a crappy drop job does tire size matter too ? thank you for any advice !

I have a '93 GMC Sonoma. 2.8l (M).

the odometer does not move when im driving it. So far I have pulled the gauge cluster and opened up the odometer motor to find a gear motor did have stripped teeth. So I bought a used Chevy corvette odometer motor to replace it Ebay here. After replacing that motor I still have no movement on the odometer, ive confirmed the gears on the roller are not locked up and do turn over by rolling by hand with the motor removed.

However I dont know how to go through the circut board of pos/neg to see if the motor will power on its own, unless I should just add power through the ribbon board, but I also cant tell which pin contacts I would add the power to.

Pretty mint with 140k km on it. Looking for some tips for restoration steps. Lookin for some tips of fixing this sun damaged plastic, I also plan to undercoat it. What products would be best to clean and restore the dash inside and the other outside plastics.

Any other tips for basic mods welcome, don’t plan to off-road and will likely just keep it a pavement princess. I live in the country and plan to get a front bar so I don’t lose to a random deer, tips on style or places to buy would be nice. Thanks in advance
