#11 of 34 85 S10 4x4 ext.cab truck by toneyg Dec 27, 2007 (6:19 pm)
my question is, will a 3800 engine swap out a 2.8 engine already in my truck. I have over 350,000 miles on this truck and this 2.8 is my 2nd engine in this vehicle. this truck still looks beautiful and clean. I'm just wanting to get a little more power now since I have lifted it. I put in a 4" frame and a 2" body lift and put 31x10.50x15 tires on it. A 4.3 swap won't work due to the transmission hook-ups at the bell housing on the 2.8 is smaller than the 4.3. If the 3800 engine won't swap,then how far can I bore the cylinders out and how much cam can I put in it, to get more power to the wheels. This tire size change seems to need more power to turn them especially off road and in the the snow and ice. Someone please help me in this matter or offer any suggestions. Don't want a new truck. I have had this truck since Sept 1984 and bought it brand new off the show room floor in Texas, and kept it in near perfect condition. thank you for all input.
#12 of 34 4 whl drive stopped working by alrata Jan 14, 2008 (6:46 pm)
99 S-10 4 whl drive stopped working, the transfer case is a 233. the controler solinoids are clicking but not sure if motor is working on transfer case. The dash switches read 2 whl high and blink when I try to engage the 4 whl high but it stays in the 2 whl high mode. What is the most comon cause of failure, the vacuum operated cable to the diff or the transfer case motor and how do I check? Thanks for any help!

#14 of 34 4x4 problem by justakid Jan 28, 2008 (12:52 pm)
I have a 00' s10 4.3L 4x4. I took it in the snow when I first got it and when in four wheel drive I put it in reverse and the front end wouldn't work. it would clunk and sound like something was spinning on the front passenger side. never messed with it too much, knowing its a vacuum setup and not knowing much about it. just recently used the four-wheel drive again and had the same problem......then it started to pop out of four-wheel drive while going forward too......any help or advice or links would be much appreciated

Replying to: romaddog (Jan 15, 2008 9:05 am) The 4WD switch gets it's ground from the "reverse neutral safety switch" I had the same problem and replaced the switch. 4wd low works now. Found the switch at parts america. com for $8.00. It is located on the steering column at about knee level. Easy to replace.

Replying to: natosaskae (Dec 23, 2007 3:41 pm) hello did you ever figure out what was wrong with your 4wd mine is doing the same thing. I have put a new axle actuator and the vacum actuator it sounds like its clicking in but no 4hi or 4lo the light changes on the dash each time i press the button to 4lo and 4hi but nothing to the wheels
#17 of 34 S-15 lift by dadysworkshop Feb 24, 2008 (3:33 am)
I have a '89 4x4 ext cab, running the stock 15x6 rims with 205/75-15. I am wanting to put 31x10.5 on. Will 15x7 rims be ok? Will a 3 inch body lift allow these tires fit or do I have to put shackles in and do a T/B crank also? Any modifications to the fenders, steering stops, or anything? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
#18 of 34 CLUNK in 4wd by gotgoldfever Mar 05, 2008 (3:25 pm)
When I am in 4hi or 4lo whenever there is strain on the drive train I will get intermittent CLUNKS (loud sounds like something is breaking or the hubs are unlocking or something) . The 4wd seems to still work though, is it the cv joints? What would be the best way to trouble shoot such a problem?

Replying to: 2003sonoma (Dec 12, 2007 9:55 am) Just tried this with my 2004 s10 and it worked perfect. Last year I took it into the dealer and they charged me 500 bucks to fix what you just showed me. Thats what I call bullsh*t... Thanks alot
