You are correct it is a 4.3 liter, 262 cubic inch displacement with throttle body injection. Sorry about that, seems my fingers have a mind of their own. lol ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert J.

Also just curious, what is 261 cid tbi, Just FYI The body is fair and I am hoping to kick this thing down the road to an even quarter million miles. Just a personal goal. If it does not make it it does not make it. I am already looking for a replacement for it before I have to put her out to pasture. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> [mailto: [email protected] <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> ]On Behalf Of NLG Sent: Tuesday, February 06, 2007 9:03 PM To: [email protected] <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Whiny truck lol! I would say that at 220,000 miles is getting close to being worn out, however, I have had a 1989 s10 blazer with the 4.6 261 cid tbi, that I had 312,000 + miles on that still ran fine but the body wouldn't pass Pa. inspection because of the rust, that I had to retire. I am a firm believer in following the manufacturer's suggestions on fluid changes etc. , even more often on engine oil than recommended. I change oil every 3000 miles or 6 months which ever comes first. Only you know just how good of shape your truck is in. If it is starting to nickle and dime you to death, you might want to try babying it along until you can get a replacement. In that case I might add the rearend oil that Lary recommended, just remember that worn parts will never be repaired by oil. but fresh oils will prevent ware. Again, only you know how good of shape your truck is in. If the body is exceptionally good you could replace the entire drive train with a used or new one. Most reputable selvage yardswill tell you the mileage on the drive train parts that you purchase. Again, Good luck :) ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert J.

Well this truck has 220,000 miles on it and I don't know the history back further than 198,000 when I baught it. You think that would qualify for high milage?

I would check the fluid level in the rearend to make sure it is full. If it is not, I would pull the cover and check for metal shavings. I would also change the filter and oil in the automatic transmission. I would not however, flush the transmission, especially if it is a high milage situation.

It does not do this in park. As I said it is not coming from the engine compartment. I can tell you for sure that it is some where between the fly wheel and the back tires. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> [mailto: [email protected] <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> ]On Behalf Of NLG Sent: Tuesday, February 06, 2007 1:30 PM To: [email protected] <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Whiny truck Is this whine present when the truck is in park (assuming it is an automatic transmission) and the engine is started? Or do you only hear the noise when traveling? When traveling and the excellerator is pressed down, do you hear the noise? Does the noise quit when the truck is coasting? ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert J. Moore To: Blind Handyman Sent: Tuesday, February 06, 2007 12:17 Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Whiny truck My little S10 has started to make a whining noise. It is not coming from the engine compartment it is coming from underneath. I am not sure if it is related to the transmition or the rear en. Some one I know had mentioned the u joints but it does not click, clunk, chatter, grind or any of that. It just makes a high pitch whine and alternates between two frequencies. Kind of like a siren but not that loud. Also it does not seem to be affecting the performance as far as I can tell. But then again I am not controlling the accelerator. Any ideas? I know I need to find out what the problem is but I am not overly concerned about a sudden failure real soon. I had a GMC van that did this for over 2 years.
