S10 SS 4.3 HO by
Bob Urz
I have a 94 S10SS 4.3 HO engine in a parts truck which i am probably
going to use for parts for my 96. I don't need the engine (mine is a
2.2), and it knocks anyway. What was special about the SS HO 4.3's?
Would it be worth saving the whole engine or heads and manifold? Are
they special from a...

Frame rail replacement by
Bob Urz
Do body/frame shops ever replace frame rails in full frame vehicles
to repair collision damage on one side? I know i have seem on large
class 8 trucks stickers saying "do not weld the frame".
More specifically, i have i S10 with a tweaked frame rail, and a donor
truck with a good frame rail. Is it...

S10 AC schrader valve by
Bob Urz
I have been working on the AC on my 96 S10 and i think my low side
schrader valve is leaking. I got a core removal tool. Took it out, and
put it back in. It seemed to go in a little too far. Should the AC
schraders screw in just far enough to cover the threads, or is there a
stop in the fitting...

V5 compressor seal replacement by
Bob Urz
My 1996 S10's V5 compressor seems to have a bad seal behind the clutch.
I evacuated it and added one can of R134a and it was trying to work.
(did not add any more R134 until i was sure it was not leaking)
But when i shut it off, i could hear the constant hiss in the area of
the compressor clutch...

S10 door hinge repair by
Bob Urz
My 96 S10 has loose bushings in the upper drivers door hinge.
I changed hinge bushings before in my old camero, so i kind of know
whats involved.
Here is the problem. The "PIN" on the upper hinge goes in from the
bottom up. Normally, you would support the door and push the pin out
and put new...

low temps-low sulpher diesel by
Bob Urz
What's up with low temps and the new EPA required low sulfur diesel
fuel? The temps here dropped to about -10. The next day, the Public
schools had a big problem with 30 or 40 buses that would not start.
Seems the new fuel is much more prone to gelling and problems when it
gets cold. Why would...

s10 door hinge spring by
Bob Urz
After much manipulation, i got my old upper door hinge apart on my 1996
S10. I had to pry the spring out of the upper hinge to be able to get
the hinge pin out from the bottom of the hinge.
I was able to get the aftermarket bushings and pin back in.
But, i cannot seem to get the door spring back...

96 s10 Starter by
BOB URZ
My starter on my 1996 s10 2.2 auto has been starting to act strange.
it turns over the truck fast when it works. When it does not, it either
does not kick in and does spin or will kick in for a second or so and
kick out before the motor starts. Can the solenoids on these starters
be repaired?...

Die electric grease usage? by
Bob Urz
What is the convention on using die electric grease on spark plug
wires? I have seen it in the plug boot ends. But what about on the coil
wire between the distributor cap and coil?
My taurus has been building up corrosion on the coil side of the wire
to distributor wire. I am trying to determine...

S10 2.2 update ( Ian question) by
Bob Urz
I posted earlier about my 96 S10 which quit running while going down the
hiway. I replaced the timing chain and it still did not run.
Got the head off. All the exhaust valves were bent. It was obvious
since they were partially open and not seated. No wonder there was
no compression. The pistons...

Plastic bumper welding/repair by

How repairable are the plastic bumpers on late model cars?
Wife got crashed again in the 93 Taurus. The slide bracket on the bumper
that holds the side of the bumper to the body broke some spot welds. The
bracket came off all together on the other side. And there is one small

427 vette is back by
BOB URZ
I did not think i would see the day when a 427 vette would be back in
production. Well, GM proved me wrong. The new Zo6 is a 427ci.
In a small block no less. 500HP 475lb T. That ought to enough to
light up the pavement.
All i have to do now is afford one........

4l60E valve body swaps by
Bob Urz
How interchangeable are 4l60e valve bodies? I have one in my 1996 S10
which is popping the 1760 TC lock up code when its very hot on the Hwy.
Pretty sure the bore on the valve body had problems in the TCC valve.
I have a chance to get a usable one out of a 2004 4L60E.
Will this sort of swap work?...

96 2.2 Dex cool or not? by

I am just getting my 1996 S10 2.2 put back together after an
unfortunate incident of bending all 8 valves. Since its apart,
drained and has a new head gasket, what about antifreeze now? Its
had Dex cool in it since it was new. Just over 100K now.
Is there any reason to stay with dex cool? What...

Aluminum rim sealing. by
Bob Urz
I have a few aluminum rims with tubeless tires that i seem to have
a continuing slow leaking problem. Any tips on how to seal these
up more permanent? Most of the auto parts store seem to just have
the stuff to put in the whole tire to seal punctures. (green slime ?)
I just want to seal the bead...

Power steering filter by

My 200K+ taurus has somewhat dirty and grimy power steering
fluid. I had to cut off the short return hose today and replace with
a short line to get it going. I did not flush it today, buts that's on
the list. Even with a flush, i'll bet there's crud in the system.
So the question is, is there...
