The wagoneer is 83 not 86 wrote wrong year. I could part out the rest of it and easily double my money but having a hard time finding a trailer to borrow. I mentioned the steering box so I could get the pitman arm off it. A lot of people get an astro steering box because they are reverse rotation wh...

I found a 86 wagoneer that's about an hour drive from me for 250 bucks for whole thing or 150 for axles driveshafts Springs steering rods and steering box. Runs but tyranny is bad but that don't matter only want it for the axles. Still trying to decide buy whole thing and sell extra parts or buy jus...

Finally got my phone to load some pictures ignore the boogery welds the rust was giving me trouble. https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/t31.0-8/fr/cp0/e15/q65/13692796_1197441143621502_8714775910748353433_o.jpg?efg=eyJpIjoidCJ9 https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/t31.0-8/fr/cp0/e15/q65/13738336_11...

Will a Blazer fuel tank fit? I found one for 20 bucks

Sonoma is on the road welded an old bumper on it and did some half ass tail lights so it's legal looks like s### but good enough to use till I fix the Subaru and this can go back to being a project. I drove to get dinner and some idiot already backed into it didn't damage anything but the guy gave m...

I finally got the abs bled enough to get the truck drivable. Couple issues it has are 1.power steering locks up at idle but if you rev the engine you can steer. 2.drivers door window only goes down about 3 inches very slowly and don't like to go back up. 3. Either ac don't work or blend door actuato...

Stupid phone The bump stops are directly under the rails on the full size. moving spring outside to were they are on a full size would help with stability also. Will have to weld on the spring hangers then figure out shock mounts I have new shocks for a 90s full size sitting under the back seat of m...

for now was thinking about using the 10 bolt out of the 90 k5 or the 87 1500. And ya would need flat top passenger knuckles to build cross over steering. When budget comes back up I will upgrade to a 80s Dodge Dana 60 with kingpins. Between buying the Sonoma, trying to get Sonoma running, feeding th...

Fixed battery issue and it's now top post :) shaped throttle body to the 5.7 one with diffuser deleted. Now starts good and idles smooth. Still can't get brake bleaders broken loose and one fitting cross threaded and leaks so got to fix that. And figure what to do about bleeding them. But at least i...

I had cleaned them and had them tight last time I worked on it which is why it had me so confused. I grabbed the battery cables off a 97 fullsize Chevy I will try changing the cables on the Sonoma to these ones and will clean all connections as I do it. then cut them down to be just long enough to p...

Was hooking jumper cables right at battery terminals. Clamped to the bolts or one point I had that battery out and jumper cables just clamped onto end of battery cables

My Subaru jumped time. It ran good I shut it off for about 30 minutes went to restart it and it was just sputtering and backfiring pulled codes for cam sensor and crank sensor replaced both them and still doing it. Makes no sense it ran great on way there plus timing belts were just replaced when he...

I live in Portageville NY it's a small town in western NY. If I eliminate the oil cooler system could I run the power steering lines through the oil cooler part of the radiator to eliminate the power steering cooler in front of the radiator that is all rusted and looks like it will brake when I remo...

I always buy performance plug wires and cut to length needed so I know they are correct length plus I will get plug wire heat shields to protect them I didn't know they came with collector flanges a lot of headers don't. Why don't you like remote oil filters? Yeah it's another part that could leak b...

Was trying to make a list of what all is needed for this project. So far I got: 1. Motor mounts 2. Transmission crossmember bushing 3. Computer reprogramed 4. electric tape and solder 5. Spark plugs and wires and wire shields 6. A lot of degreaser 7. Elbow for knock sensor 8. Heavy duty 6 blade Intr...

I looked up egr valves the express van still has them in the 5.0 and 5.7 but the Sonoma's and s10s Astros and gmc's version of the astro stopped using them in 1999. 2000 and up v6s don't have them. I so I will have to add wire and pins to hook it up or delete it in the pcm probably will hook it up s...

Isn't the v6 throttle body smaller bore? I was gonna try to find a 7.4l throttle body because they have a slightly larger bore than the 5.7 throttle body. Could the the throttle plate shaft be interchanged between the v6 and v8 throttle bodys I know the 5.7 and 7.4 throttle body shafts can interchan...

Also I called a junkyard around the corner from were I work and they have a heavy duty 6 blade intrepid fan from a 02 for 75 bucks if it's still there Friday I will get it before work

A s10 radiator is 16x26 according to what I read on the one swap thread so the fullsize truck radiator is way to big but everyone uses the v6 radiator and says it works

Are different steering shafts actually necessary not all of swap threads mention it? Today after work i spent an hour working on the motors donor truck till it was too dark to see. Started by knocking the donor truck off the blocks. I had it up about three feet off the ground when I pulled the trann...

Both mounts use 2.8 mounts only difference I can see is the jags that run claim to have it cut to sit lower than the advanced adapters mounts. Idk if the motor sitting lower will cause issues with oil pan differential clearance but the jags that run mounts are 75 the advanced adapter mounts are 85 s...

From what I can tell the only electronic connection on s10 front axles is the 4wd indicator light. There's no electronic actuators on s10 axles like full sizes have so those wire on the t-case can be ignored just have to figure out how to wire the s10s axle 4wd indicator plug to the transfer case. I...

Approachmedium Do you got any pictures of how you did your core support? What brand motor mounts did you use? Did you use stock full size truck oil pan? What clearance issues did you have? Do those headers work with a 2 inch body lift? The 2.8 one from jags that run are the ones I am thinking of get...

For the intrepid fans what year range do people use?

The Sonoma has a np233 but it doesn't work part of why the Sonoma's so cheap that and I don't trust push button. Manual everything is more reliable lol I was thinking about trying to use a four wheel drive shifter from a 99 up full size should match Sonoma interior close enough and be setup for righ...

I just bought a 2002 crewcab 4wd Sonoma from an old friend it has the 4.3 vortec v6 and 4l60e auto trans and he is giving me the clutch pedal gauge cluster and steering column from a 5 speed blazer. I have a 97 high nickel alloy 4 bolt main 5.7 engine that was rebuilt less than 20 thousand miles ago...
