On a 1988 auto its gonna be a 700r4 if its the factory tranny. Sounds like you might have gotten somebody's project truck and to be truthful there is no telling if its factory without looking at it.

I also agree on getting the parts from a junkyard. I would stay out of the overpriced LMC book unless its a part you can not find anywhere else and badly need it.

 

ok so i looked around on the whole tranny thing and i was only bringing up the

700R4/4L60i might be able to find one at the local junk yard. a

Also i found another s10 down the road and its in perfect shape but its a manual 4X4 he wants $450.00 im thinking about buying that one but dont know whether to use it for parts or just fix its tranny... Anyone have any thoughts on that?? Thanks

 

For $450.00 I'd buy it anyway. What do you mean by manual 4X4? Manual trans or transfer case? The transfer cases really aren't that hard. You just need a good book (factory manuals are the best) and you can overhaul it in no time. The parts aren't too bad either. Just stay away from the dealer. There's a bunch of folks that sell parts to these things.

 

that'd be '91 to '94.


i'm thinking he meant it was a manual trans (re-read his post, that's what it sounds like to me anyways).

 

yea lol sry i meant it as manual tranny lol

I know for a Fact this wasnt a project truck my grandma bought it brand new in 1987 lol i do know however they rebuilt the engine and it has about 75,000 miles on it

also i meant to say earlier that he will sell the whole truck for 450.00 but also i can take everything i want for one payment of 200.00 so what should i do? im just gunna asume its a bad clutch and buy it and just spend the 100.00 for a new clutch and WAALA i got a new truck

im kinda thinkiong if hes willing to part it out for 200 i caN prob get the whole truck for 3 - 3 1/2

 

^^^ brother, you're gonna get told by an Amin or Mod very shortly-don't consecutive post like that.

just go back, click the "edit" icon @ the bottom of your post, and add whatever you need to it.

wait for it, someones bound to bring it to your attention.

 

oh crap sorry everyone im new here lol wont happen again

 

Tooshort, lets go to pick-n-pull, I know where a 98% complete parts truck for you is hidden lol.

 

haha heck yes, will have to do that sometime Giod..
but sad thing is my project is on hold for a little while...
I have to pay off the 2500 i owe on credit cards and then im gunna go buy that 4X4 thats sittin at Artie Green's Auto repair lol hoping to get it for 300

 

WTF did you buy on credit?
Also the truck I'm talking about a pick-n-pull is a late first gen (93-94 didn't look at the year) so you could get the newer dash out of it and it's a CFC so the tranny is probally still good.

The whole truck was in good conditon, to bad it got CFC'ed
