2000 S10 Noise by hopkins7

2000 S10 4.3, 6 cy, auto, 145K. Running great. Problem is clunking/banging noise in right side of cab/wheel well area. Sounds like solid plastic housing banging against another heavy plastic housing. Glove box tight, new shocks, wheel lugs properly tightened, plastic wheel well housing tight, everything tight under front end. Doesn't sound like metal to metal sound. The banging/noise happens each time right front wheel hits a bump/rough spot in road. Mechanic has driven truck using electronic device to pick up noise in vehicles to no avail. The left side is not affected by the noise. Noise actually sounds like it's coming from under the right side of the dash. Haven't had the dash apart-yet.
 
Any suggestions?

Heater core might be bouncing arround a little. Try wiggling the outlets under the hood on the fire wall side, and see if there is some movement. Also check the blower fan motor, see if the mounting bolts came loose, or if the the plastic fan itself is wobbling on the end of the motor. You got a tuff one, good luck.

84 S-10 2.8 loose vacuum line can't find where to hook to. by jthill24

Hello All:
 
I just picked up an 84 S-10 Pickup with a 2.8 v6, using the XBX vacuum diagram. The problem I’m having is finding where the Vacuum hose from the vacuum ball and Intake manifold plugs into. None of the dealers has any manuals left for those years. The XBX diagram doesn’t show the Vacuum ball or the vacuum line I need to hook up.
All the other lines are in their spots.
 
If I can put a picture up I will to show you what I’m talking about.
  
If any of you have one like mine maybe you can look on yours and see where that line hooks to.
 
Thanks,
JaY

Well since no one thought it worth his time to try and Help.......................
 
I finally found a diagram in a manual that shows this line was to the Vacuum Mod for the Cruise Control. The truck I have doesn't have cruise control in it. I guess some did have it in them.

I was driving my 2000 s10 pickup with 200,000on it. I swapped the motor a little while ago, and the new motor has 34,000miles on it. When i was driving it, there was a minor knock on the rear left side, only when i get on it. The oil pressure gauge went from 20-50psi too. The knock only occured from 1500rpms-2200rpms. I think that the oil pick up might be loose, but not sure. Oil level is fine, and has been changed constantly since ive had it. Any Ideas on what might be going on??

automatic, changed front actuator valve $130 labor in 10 minutes to change, the 2x4 to 4x4 would not engage, it would stay in 4x4 all the time, whining noise front passengers side, changed valve now 4x4 to 2x4 works, apparently a common s -10 problem but still have front end noise,
(sounds like heavy tire tread at hi way speed). it's not the tires though
may have worn parts because of problem with actuator valve. only have 87,000 kms on truck, any suggestions :
