Hello there. Sorry for some of the inexperience, or obvious questions I present. Air filter? Is stock now, I had removed it thinking more air was better, now it is back on and the engine is happy. Thermostat? I reinstalled a failsafe on a no stat system.
I found out why the stat was out. My head gasket was garbage.
The truck (it is an S10 and someone else has it registered so its anything from a 1991 to a 1994) is in the shop getting its head gasket changed, as we speak. The mechanic said he will flush radiator, and indicated frustration with the design of how the engine is in there. The radiator from a van went unnoticed, but lo and behold, it is still doing its thing.
I feel the proper gasket will not make the milkshake oil, thanks to my oil-to-coolant gasket failure, every time I replace the 15psi radiator cap. Was inclined to ask about 4psi and 7psi units for a GM. But hey, free truck, so, I have never been enjoying vehicles more in my life.
I'm driving an F-150 at this time.
Not sure some of the insults or suggestions being hurled around here, but I want no parts of it. This F150 is my loaner until I get the S10 out of hoc. Will set me back $450.
I have reviewed some of the comments and I can't relate to what is being said. The F150 has put on about 600 miles in the ast few days, and is on track to break 1000 today. Too busy to check in, I work. Nice ride. Just continue the spirit of the forum, grab a beer,
Getting ready to hit the road. Peace out yall! Will check in when I can, I am on the path of least resistance.
Again, sorry to leave you all, I have the update of springing for the appropriate repair, but I must get going, and thank you all for your assistance. I almost bought a 1988 Trans Am with a crank no start condition.. someone beat me to it. Will post up on which is next.
