  • What happens when wife calls about a busted hose....

    Wife runs to Food Lion while I get ready for work. OK.

    Then she calls, the upper radiator hose has burst at the light before the turn in. Bad, but not to bad, I have spares....

    Run up there with someone else, and pop the hood. Notice a HUGE chunk out of the timing belt! Getting worse all the time....

    Charge light comes on, although Alternator belt isn't wet or loose, not to bad, I have a spare again, just more time before I can get to work....

    Wife stuck for last two hours 1/2 mile from our accident due to terrible accident on I-40, crazy, now I am not going to work tonight, that's almost $200 down the drain today

    Gonna start this truck tonight after fixing baby car. I AM NOT the one who started to pull this engine! All the parts on the ground came out of the bed, after removing two years of trash and leaves (stunk to high heaven!) this is going to be like a puzzle! I have no clue of all the bolts are even there!

                Thanks Greg! I should be able to get by, but I will remember this if needed!

                I really messed around too much tonight, finally got back to the baby car a little bit ago and put her back together, she is running strong again, so thats all good. Had to do a test drive, so no beers till now, just finished a nice cold rolling rock light, gonna crack another and yank that engine out!

                Whats that you say? It is almost 5 am? Oh well, I am a night owl after all! Be back around 7 am

                    Wish I was closer, I know them old S-10's well. Is it a 4cyl or 2.8L V-6? It might even be a 4.3L V-6 if it was a later built truck. Anyhow, I am an email or call away if I can help.
