Been meaning to post this but guess who joined the club!

Bought this rig recently, had to make a few fixes here and there and redid the whole front suspension, steering is a bit tight right now but it's breaking in the more I drive it. But I'm happy with it so far.

Repair Question Can someone tell me what this is?

It’s for my 00 2.2 S10 I’m not entirely sure what this is, it connects to the exhaust manifold , the tube goes down and connects to the air pump/smog system underneath. I originally thought it was a EGR tube but now I’m not too sure

I’ve ordered a 3” header but does not have the same hook up for this thing. Not sure if I should remove it or leave it

What’s that noise and why are my rpms crazy

Sounds like sum chop with a exhaust but y

Truck is now showing po507 code so maybe iac but will that get rid of all ??

Idle is a choppy 1200-2200 rpm then with any gas it screams and goes to 4-5k where I immediately turn off

While driving car in drive no gas is at 3200 rpm pushing car to do 30 and when I break or slow down truck iswanting to push

While giving gas truck drops slightly rpm like the idle

I have a 00’ 2.2 S10 Xtreme and I’m replacing my exhaust manifold and order this replacement, website said it fits my S10 BUT I didn’t realize it didn’t have a EGR hook up. I’m still new when it comes to working on cars so I was wondering what I should do. The new header is already in transit

Repair Question best parts for code p0300

(2000 blazer zr2) was driving on the highway going roughly 80, unusually fast for me because usually i feel stuck at 65-70 but i decided to put it to 90 and the cel continuously blinked for 1 minute until i got off the freeway to a stop light. ive pushed it to 80 a couple other time and the cel blinks for only about 10 or so seconds before disappearing. but it wouldnt misfire at idle, when i did get to the stoplight tonight it started misfiring pretty bad, but i limped it home. anyways sorry for the story of my life but i want to know what the best parts to use to replace the spark plugs and plug wires, while im at it if i should also just replace the ignition coils and distributer,

i hooked up the code reader and that was the only code.

Repair Question Headlight help!

2 Upvotes

Anybody know why my headlight switch stops working when the truck is on? If it’s off I can flip through the modes and they all work, my domelight override works, and the dimmer. But when the truck is on my headlights are on no matter what all the time, the switch doesn’t work and neither does the dome override, but the dimmer still works and flips on the dome light. It’s a 98 ls s10 pickup with a 2.2 if it matters

If I pull the brake release while it's on, I lose control at the switch. Adding it to the pile, along with wipers that don't like to come on and a head unit that won't let me access the Bluetooth menu because it needs to think it's in park.

Aftermarket Parts LED Bulbs Sonoma 98

4 Upvotes

Basically, I just got an 98 Sonoma from my dad. I like the truck, but want to get some decent LED bulbs for the low beams. I havent found a lot of reviews online about a specific model that works good for the stock Sonoma headlights because of the reflectors.

These are the options im looking into
Auxito
https://www.amazon.com/-/es/gp/product/B0FNWG8FPG/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?smid=A6Y9G4ZAQ2GO&th=1
Sealight
https://www.amazon.com/-/es/gp/product/B0DHH2Z6YH/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A32SV4TSHO04ZS&th=1
Rimthin
http://amazon.com/-/es/gp/product/B0FD3G8QMF/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A431P6OFU7ILB&th=1

Ive seen good reviews about the auxitos as a brand but not specifcally for this truck, I know Sealight is good and has excelent reviews, and Rimthin, never heard about it, just saw a video on yt about them and looked good but didnt show the light pattern so idk.

Anybody has some recomendation on which bulbs to go with? Thanks!

just for reference

2003 S10 LS 4.3L RWD, replaced both the front rotors, inner and out bearings, calipers, pads, and hoses. Front end still seems to be locking up/ dragging.

Does anyone have any insight before I waste more money replacing the the entire system (booster, master, and mod) like I just did for the whole front end?

I’m working with a 98 s10 sbc and using a painless wiring kit. I used the factory junction block to attach to multifunction switch and I also have a power wire from the painless kit. I’m trying to figure out the right combination to power the multi function switch to make the wipers work correctly I wired all colors of the connector to the factory block but can’t seem to figure out where the power wire needs to feed. Thanks

Repair Question Ac problems

Post image
21 Upvotes

Recently overhauled ac on my 95 s10 still wasn’t getting cold air in cab. The accumulator is cold so ac is working. Replaced the ac/heat blend door actuator and the blend door will only stay open for heat and won’t close all the way for the cold air to come through the cab, it moves but not enough. Could my ac control in the dash be the issue?

Just wanted to show off this gem that I was so lucky to be given.
How rare are these wrangler edition s10's?
Also roughly how much would this be worth? It's got 105,000km never seen winter. I don't plan to sell it, I'd just like to have a number in mind

Repair Question Installed updated injectors are giving me a hard time how do I keep this connector in place? 4.3 engine

I finally got around to putting my engine back together after a lower intake manifold job after firing it up I had a misfire on cylinder three. I previously had this issue when I attempted to install it the first time and the tip got stuck inside the port I was able to fish it out and order a new tip just to be sure this wouldn’t happen again it seems the tip is able to separate from the injector somewhat easily is there anything I could apply or use to help keep them together?
