So now you have two project trucks?

well this one is very sound besides the oil leak which isnt as bad as my uncle said it was

How many miles are on it?

215k but i'm going to just rebuild the entire motor. and i thought it was just a 2.8L its actually got a 4.3L in it

That thing is a beast. My Uncle has one just like it. We had our Camper in his yard on vacation out in Nebraska one summer years ago. We got a ton of rain the week we were there. Our van was only 2wd. So of course the concern was it was probably not worth hooking up to the 10k pound trailer with it.

My uncle hooked up to it setting the trailer on the bumper and pulled it right out with well over 200k miles on it.

yea my uncle pulled his Case International 995 on a trailer no problem. he drives a 08 f150 super duty now and said that s-10 could pull just as good just not as fast . i put a new battery in it and drove it right on the trailer sat. had to use the 4x4 to get it up though it could use a tune up. it's skipping a bit

Not too shabby!

I bet the S10 pulled the camper fine, but I'd hate to have to stop fast!

Thanks guys, i can't wait to get into this one. because nothing much wrong with it i gave up on the z71 right now i can't figure out what keeps making it die. i think theres something wrong with the throttlebody .

 

[nubuilder]

What year is the Z71 again?

 

[OPGMC]

1990

yea it's a 1990 i'm going to take a video this weekend and post it to show you guys exactly what it's doing. it starts right up and then it just dies. i put a new fuel filter on. it's getting gas to the TBI but it doesn't look like a whole lot idk and it dies everytime i rev it up. idk if it's a throttle sensor or the TBI i also been checking for vaccum leaks
