In today's video, I'll be kicking off a new project series that will focus on restoring a 1989 Chevrolet S10 Extended Cab. With my GMC Jimmy restoration nearing completion, I wanted to go ahead and dive into this truck to get it running right and figure out where to take it from here. The first thing that has to be done is a rather invasive repair, the fuel sending unit. It's not a fun thing to do, but thankfully, it'll open the doors to get several things done at once. I'm pretty excited to work on this truck! Thanks for watching, the support means a lot!

Lowkey want to pay this man to fully restore my 95 S10. Not even see it on the channel but this man fixes things, does it right, and makes it perfect.
Better have big money ready to spend for a professional restoration. Good luck.
Kyle: "I have too many projects"
Also Kyle: "I bought another S10."
Not enough youtubers restore 80s and 90s cars. Kinda bored of people putting an LS and wheels on a car then calling it a restomod
Me to i love 80s 90s 2000s cars
To be fair, tho.... most cars from this time, especially American cars, were pretty terrible.... not many are excited about the Plymouth Reliant, or Dodge Omni. And the iron duke engine is pretty meh. and most transmissions of the time were pretty phoned in too and can't take much power above stock. I get what you're saying, but I get why people "nope" out of old engine platforms. The LS is really that good.
@@radioactive_tool_shed_8498 For me maybe not 2000s but definitely 80s and 90s
I'm doing a full resto on a 96 Dakota 5.2 4x4 5 speed short bed. Just started to rust(surface) so why not. Truck can easily last another 25+ years. Bigger motor and we be in business. Super easy to work on, cheap parts, ridiculously reliable, so why not.
@@tomc8157 96 was still first gen right? If so nice those 1st gen dakotas are underrated
So happy seeing you bring one back to life! I have my grandfather's 92 that he bought new, it only has about 80k miles and I love it
I wanna see the 4 Door S10 get built
S10_4_Life About to start on it soon, just waiting on some front control arms to come in 👍🏻
In due time my friend.
@@saabkyle04 I know you've built ur Jimmy, But if you have any questions or you get stuck on something feel free to contact me man, I know quite a bit about S10s & Blazers... That's basically all I build, I'm Rebuilding a 84 4X4 S10 Blazer now and I just bought a 93 Blazer too but I'm using it to build a Camper out of to match my Blazer....
@90s Car guy What's up ??? ( I know there is a way to message on UA-cam but idk how to do it lol )
S10 _4_Life I just subscribed. Good to know there's more people out there.
Kyle! I love your videos! I am 12 years old and very inspired by your work! I have tuning in ever since I was 7!
Thanks so much!
"My name is Kyle and I am an addict." :P
Kyle, you have an S-10 problem, lol.
Yes! Would love to see more videos on this truck, especially a nice deep cleaning! Keep up the awesome work as always Kyle.
I still want the truck repainted red because I think it looks awesome with that classic Chevrolet red color
Yeah and the interior is in good condition only some cracks on the dash
Idk it smokes a little... may wanna swap a 350 vortec in to be on the safe side...
👍
5.3 LS.
wanderinggentile no lets make it LS2 6.0 😁
@@pavilionkodi99 or make it rotary. The smoke issue will be now a part of it
Nah, the 4.3 gives it more character. Resurface the valves and replace the seals, change the cam and have some headers built for it. Swap the fuel injectors from a 350 TBI unit and it could break 200 hp, and for a truck that light it would roast the tires all day.
Hey Kyle love your channel. I miss your cold startups and I miss you going over the cars at your dads dealership. I hope you can get back into that again sometime in the future.
Clean the frame...update suspension....no dropping as I assume you might use it for hauling stuff in the future.....restore as the Jimmy back to OEM spec....check engine for blue puffs of smoke coming out of the tail pipe while you were revving it up......maybe if time and money allows, interior upgrade to a more refined S10 trim?....rear disc brake conversion if possible
I want everything to be updated to this day and age. L.E.D headhights and taillights. Every single other bulb made into led as well. Make sure your radio is modern as well. Overall make this project “Modern S-10 for the Modern Man.”
It feels so good to fix something. I finally fixed my Honda. It wasn’t my bearings but a bent rim. I’m amazed my tire didn’t blow. The rim was bent ever since a crash into a ditch in December of last year.
Yeah man looks good glad to see more of te s10 builds or repairs like this . I just finished engine swap on my 85 chevy s10 2.54cyl to 2.8v6 engine swap. Hopefully have another s10 my self ha the addiction is bad lol .
That looks like a really solid truck to have some fun with, can't believe somebody just abandoned it. I can see it being turned into a nice, slightly lowered street truck that would be great for light hauling/towing. Will definitely be watching to see how it progresses.
Yes! Love seeing 80's stuff getting the restoration they deserve!
What a high quality job you did in this video, Kyle! 👍👍
Can't get enough of square body S10's!
Another fine project. Love these older cars and trucks.
Pleeeeaaase some detailing and would love a series on the s10
My dad said he’d sell his 1990 Chevy s10 4x4 for $800 so I’m trying to save up for it and these videos make me excited to work on it and give it the love it deserves
Very nice :)! I'm working on getting the same truck, a $500 1992, back on the road. This is my 4th first generation S10 but I have worked on many of them over the years. A quick tip for the folks without a lift, is to tilt the bed rather than take it off. Remove all the bolts on the driver's side and loosen the ones on the passenger side. Lift it up and shove a jack stand between the bed and frame. Plenty of room to work. If you do decide to remove the bed with the help of some buddies, the bed and tailgate together weight around 230 pounds (yes, I weighed mine before at work for fun). With four people, it will be less than 60 pounds a person. Just be sure to have some saw horses or something to set the bed on after you take it off or else you may damage the sheet metal.
Love everything you do man !
Definitely check the fuel system and brakes, have yet to that on my own project truck. Amazing how similar all these compact trucks were in their engineering.
Hi. I m inspired because of you and now I work on my car's minor problems myself... DIY.. Thanks.
Great video Kyle! That is going to be an awesome truck when it 100% restored! Can't wait to see it!
I think you should replace the stock grill with a '92 model grill. I think that is the best looking of all the S10s. I had a red '92 and a black '98 model. wish Chevrolet would bring them back into production.
Been waiting for the s10 resto! Can’t wait!
That truck sounds awesome Kyle. Looking forward to more video's with it
Doesn took like its leaking oil but definitely burning oil. I love these projects! I just got done restoring a 91 ranger.
That lift is a beautiful thing. So glad you got a nice one. I remember when you were doing all this work on jack stands.
One of my dream cars is a typhoon! Have ever thought about doing a typhoon clone build I would absolutely love it!!!
Nice work on the S10, Kyle!
You've got the right idea pulling the bed
Please show way more of this truck awesome build idea!!!
I've seen so many of these things modified and given the mini truck treatment over the years, it would be cool to see this one kept stock and restored, interior looks pretty clean on it too by the way. I grew up around these trucks, my grandfather had a few over the years, my dad owned several as well as 2 Blazers and I've had 2 S10s and a Blazer myself, so I look forward to see what you plan to do with it no matter what you decide to do and have been enjoying the videos on the Jimmy. Really got me thinking I might need another S10 in my life again.
I love this kind of videos, greetings from México 🇲🇽
Awesome video Kyle!
Looking forward to this restore.
Awesome truck Kyle, best of luck with the restoration!
Omg I’m so excited to see the completed Jimmy!
Coming ASAP! 😊
Sweet Kyle!!, I own a black 1991 S10 Extended Cab Tahoe with the 4.3 and the 4spd auto with overdrive. You got a steal on that truck. but on dropping the truck, It's your call, but I would keep that Tahoe stock height with those beautiful wheels;) Thanks for the video on cleaning the interior of your Jimmy, It was a massive help with transforming my once dirty original old S10 into a showroom-worthy masterpiece. The seat belt trick and the power extracter were great ideas.
Cool. Looking forward to the new series. I've always liked S-10s.
Awesome job on the gas tank, and welcome to the S10 family, I own an S10 88 Tahoe single cab.
Keep up the good content Kyle!
I agree . would like to see a drop on the truck. glad to see these videos man. I own a 2.8 long bed 87 and s15 blazer 90
I picked up a 93 Tahoe last year. It has 88K on its 4.3L with a 5 speed. I have been doing these same little things to it. Tune up-plugs wires cap rotor PCV, brakes front and back, shocks, radiator, heater core, fan clutch, changed inside out lights to all LED, little things that needed to be done. I have yet to spend over $600 on it with me doing all of it myself. Truck runs like brand new. I also lowered mine. I did a 5/7 with some 18"/20" wheels on it that I already had. I ran all belltech except the 3" coils. The belltech Coils with te 4.3L dropped the front all the way down to lower a-arm to frame about 4.5". I sent them back to Summit and ordered the DJM and they lower the front right at 3". Don't know if I got a bad set or what. I look forward to more s10 videos.
Nice truck. Nice work.
I absolutely love those rims! Keep them pleasee
great price.... nice find.... that truck runs great...
Can't wait for part 2!
I'd do subtle mods, wheels and tyres, upgrade the brakes to performance brakes, some air suspension so you can adjust the ride height if you need to haul stuff round and just overhaul the engine. Great vid as always :)
Cool trucks those are the future classics
Oh Lord, This other Kyle Is turning into "Me" Once I get started on a project I get another one... well I guess that's what kyles do...
Great video! I love these old S10’s and Jimmys l, keep up the GREAT content.
Jerry Rig Central Thanks so much!
Saabkyle04 I mean it’s true😂
Love that exhaust tip
Just keep the s10 videos comeing anything is welcome 🙏 do what you do best
Awesome video my first vehicle was exactly the same thing but it was black now I miss it a lot.
I love these trucks, I feel dropping them ruins their looks but to each their own. On the list of updates, a fuel-injected throttle body 350 of the same era should bolt up to that 700r4 nicely and give a nice power boost without going crazy. Great videos man!
Great project
Good little project! Those 4.3's are pretty tough and can be a little peppy in a small truck!
A rear disc conversion video would be dope. When I did the conversion I ended up using parts from 2 different style kits to make it work. Would be interesting to see how your mileage varies.
Love this man u are amazing
I love restoration videos
I think your my new favorite car reviewer. Simply because you honk the horn. It’s a mechanical part too!
PedalToTheFloor Boi stop following me
I’m not. We just happen to watch the same videos.
I really respect how detriment you are
Very nice truck
Install a lift kit and put custom 4x4 rims on it. Tint the windows. Swap a V8 engine in it and make it a monster crawler.
very nice!!!
No smoking and go cold turkey when your working around fuel issues, love the upload..
Do a Backcountry or Baja tribute please they are so cool. The back country especially.
This video kills me haha. My dad passed and his 92 extended cab is sitting and rotting in NC. Wish I had the funds to recover and restore it
I got a 92 ranger ext cab for 500 runs great and never let's me down going to restore it completely
2/3 or 3/4 drop on some Camaro iroc rims, fresh coat of red paint, tint the windows, rollpan in the back and painted grille and smooth front bumper and call it done. Keep it simple and tasteful and something anyone of your viewers could accomplish in their driveway at home.
I have the same truck , just the 83 and still runs amazing stock
Awesome as usual!
Been waiting for this one for a long time and it's so awesome!
Good job! Keep it up.
Havent seen this channel in a while and nice job and nice beard
Thanks pal!!
@@saabkyle04 Anytime! (^_^)
Nice!!
I've been thinking about a 2/3 drop on my '93 Sonoma so I'd love to see that on this truck.
That's a sweet looking truck first the Crew Cab then the Regular Cab and now the Extended Cab and I request you to make another video of the S10 Extended Cab
RideTech makes both a Coilover and a air suspension kit that’d be cool to see installed
Jordan Comstock Yeah it would, but ouch that price! 😅
I just bought a 94 s10 blazer with the 4.3l tbi. 291k for 500$. I just got done replacing the heater core. That was a project. After new plugs, wires, fuel and air filter, she runs like a champ. Not a chevy guy, but it was a manual, so I could not pass it up.
Powerstroke 69 Dang, a manual! That’s awesome dude!
nice find....
You should restore a square body k5/ jimmy. Those things are gonna be worth a lot in the future!
I had an '82 (v6, 3 sp Auto) and '91 4.3L TBI (and 98 blazer w/ 4.3 SPFI). The TBI setup was really nice, no problems, reliable injection, unlike the 98 Blazer's SPFI system. These were such good trucks, will be watching for sure! I'm surprised the oil filter was not remote mounted in the engine bay along the drivers side fender like my 91 4x4 was???
All I've ever owned are S-10 base platforms. 90 Jimmy, 97 Jimmy, 98 Sonoma, 2001 Jimmy. Bilstein shocks for the only thing to put on these. I can't remember if your Jimmy was a vortec or body fuel injection, you put a different spring in the fuel pressure regulator and put another gasket to raise the throttle. I can't tell you how much it gives you but it sure makes a big difference going up hills and on the butt Dyno.
Thats a real nice little truck my advice to you is to keep it all stock . fix what you need to cleanit up and shine it up and enjoy it ...
Install LED lighting front and rear, full interior restoration, full detailing, audio upgrade, some simple engine upgrade (turbo, maybe, make it performs like Typhoon). I also thinking about brake (rear disk brake if possible) and suspension upgrade (don't lower it, but make it more comfortable)
I am so excited for the s10 builds man! Jimmy has been great, but it’s hard to beat an s10
If you like S10s check out my Channel, All I Build is S10s & Blazers
This is funny because I just watched Auto Auction Rebuilds do the same thing to his Sonoma 😆.
In my experience when an older GM won’t turnover it’s almost always the fuel pump.
Work on the crew cab. The anticipation is killing me 🦈
I got a O’Reilly auto parts ad lol
Honestly I can't wait for the 4door S10.
Jiří Huser Hoping to have some content for everyone soon. Waiting on a few more front suspension parts to come in and then we can get started on it
Definitely do the suspension. 3/4 drop. With newer zq8 wheels. Would look amazing!!
A restomod sounds about right for this project. Would be cool to see some modern safety features added to an old truck like this as well (lane departure warning, forward collision warning, blind spot detector, rearview/backup camera, etc.).
You wanna help me wire it up LOL? Idk if stuff like that is even possible. Can you imagine the wiring? 😅
@@saabkyle04 I choose to ask you for these things not because they are easy but because of they are hard 😂.
CHEVY S10!!!!
keep it coming more soon...
Drop blocks are fairly cheap and easy and don’t mess with the ride too much.
Great video buddy and I have a question what would be a good sounding exhaust for a 2.9L inline 4 cylinder 2008 Colorado ? What would you prefer
