I am looking for a used multi function switch stalk for my 96 S10. It does not have cruise. What years and models of GM will work? Bob ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! >100,000...

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...

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...

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...

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...

I am maybe looking a resurrecting a 1995 S10 SS siting in my driveway i was going to use for parts. Its got a bad 4.3 in it. Seems to be quite a variety of 4.3 out there. What years will swap in this truck without re inventing the wheel? I did find this...

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...

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...

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...

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?...

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...

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...

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 pushed in area. So,...

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........ Bob

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?...

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...

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...

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...
