So last night my dad picked up new plug wires for the S10 at autozone and today after school i decided to put them on. Everything went pretty smoothly except the plug wires are a tad bit short for my liking and the plenum has a piece broken out of it.

This truck is 12 years old but in my mind its so modern.

I feel like the GM engineers would of thought about this happening when they designed this piece.

And then after two hours everything is back together. But the truck still won’t start which is a bit disspointing even though i knew that the plug wires wouldn’t fix everything.

Welp no on else has said it yet, so 4L60 that mofo. Ooor fix it, sell it, then buy a 4L60/LS to horde.

For the love of all that’s holy, NO 4L60 . At least go 4L65. The 4L60/700R4 is a piece of steaming shit. Nothing with more than 275 ft. lbs. of torque should ever have that paper geared shitbox.

Yeah, I hate the S10 air intake system. Such a paint to remove to change the serpentine belt. One of the pieces goes under the top radiator hose. Undoing it was easy, just putting it back on took half an hour. If I ever have to remove it again im putting a custom intake and bypass that zigzag system. There is plenty of room behind the compressor to put a hose to the airbox.

Also be careful of the seat recline lever. They all cheap crap metal and break.

Just saw this, and I wish you the best of luck. I have unnatural love for S10s. My first truck was a ‘92 4.3L 5spd. We nearly jumped on a ‘01 or ‘02 Vortec when we were shopping last year, but went for an ‘05 Tacoma instead (a decision I don’t regret).

I love the Tacoma, but still say that S10s are great trucks.

I didn’t see it covered in either part. Have you check to make sure your even getting Spark? Or Fuel?

It has spark, fuel I’m not so sure about because i haven’t had time to check it yet.

For fuel is it fresh or old been in the tank for a long time? Have you tried some starter fluid as well?

Not sure about the exact age of the fuel but it had to have been within the last month or so. Haven’t tried starter fluid yet since i don’t have any on me.
