OT Low Coolant light came on today!
It's a 2000 4X4 Z-71 SLE with 167,000 miles
"Bill McKee" wrote in message ink.net... "FREDO" wrote in message . .. Bad news !! I changed the oil today and it looked a little milky. That does not bode well for Babe! I am hoping that was just from the Lucas Oil Stabilizer. If not I had better be looking in the AutoTrader magazine for a totaled out GMC 4X4 with low miles so I can swap the engine/tranny and replace some of my damaged interior trim. If I can find one for less than 5,000.00 that would be good! "Bill McKee" wrote in message ink.net... My wife's S10 4.3L blazer lost water under normal driving conditions, but was fine at idle. Was a warped head, from a bad waterpump on a 105 degree day. Bill SNIP What year. Last engine I bought for my 1989 S10 pickup about 4 years ago was $600 at a wrecker. You just may need to pull the heads and have them surfaced. With GM tanking these days, you may be able to buy a new truck for less than $15k. Bill |
