As some of you know this job had a personal connection for me. My friend Ryan Coffey, who was the former owner of the truck, lost his life to cancer last year. His parents brought me the truck and a new engine so that I could make it run again. I was honored to do the job, and make this video series for you. I present this series as a tribute to Ryan and his family. I know you guys like watching my engine replacement videos, and I’m glad to know that this series will get some views and get Ryan’s name out there. Ryan loved my show and having his truck featured in my videos, it’s been in 3 before this series came out. I think this is a great way to honor him and his memory. Here’s some some links to those videos as well as other stuff you might find useful.

Why am I laughing? It's so stupid yet I'm laughing so hard.
Woundering what year 2.2 bolt right up. Will a 97 fit
Eric, do you have a video on removing and installing fuel injectors on a 2000 chevy s-10 2.2L engine?
Suggestion. Get a hat to attach your camera to. I think it will help with some of the shots. Thank you so much for making this video! I recently swapped my engine in my 98 s10 and your tips and tricks helped me finish it up and also solve the mystery of that AIR system. My 99 engine uses an egr and i thought i just had extra parts. But we figured it out thanks to you!
Sorry for your loss. What was the reason for the engine swap? Not running? Blown head gasket? Knocking? High mileage and just clapped out low compression?
Thank you Eric. I realized today that I was looking for working principles. I have no experience, 63 years old and I’m going for it. With this kind of guidance, Toyota 3.0 to 3.4 swap.
to much bla bla bla no show how
You are a really good mechanic I took the head off my 2.2 leave the intake manifold on it and exhaust manifold so when you put the head on the other engine you don't have to mess with the intake
You wanna break a window? Hit the bottom corner it works best. Tinted windows or windows that are recessed aren’t as easy.
I’m on the same page with personal connection to an s10 I now have my moms it was the only thing she really had in her life that she truly loved other than me but the last time I saw and spoke to her she said to me I’m gonna give you my truck and at the time I didn’t think about it and I said mom what am I going to do with your truck and she said fix it up well I just blew it off and ya ma and told her I loved her and went to work well later that night she passed away so now I’m gonna completely rebuilt it and give it to a single mother as I remember when me and my mom didn’t have a car when I was younger I think she would like that
I came for car repair and got some feels too. RIP Ryan. I hope his family is doing alright. What a terrible thing.
Excellent video I have a 1998 2.2 Sonoma and learned a lot about the sensors and hoses and so much more watching your work your magic along with killer detailed info.
Kudos man.
Excellent video series i remember watching this while i was 13-14 years old in middle school
Great… now I gotta rebuild my 2002 Sonoma because I was going uphill in 5th on the highway… got wicked pre-ignition and the piston rings collapsed in from the heat and lost all compression
You know your stuff, Eric! Love watching the videos! Thanks!
Great vide Eric. One question can i replace the engine from my sons 1999 Sonoma with a 2001 s10 They both are 2.2L. The 2001 is a flex fuel and the 1999 is not
I have a Chevy P/U with this 2.2 and I was absolutely hating the idea that I had to crawl up under this thing and try to get bolts off. Well it turns out that if you get your head at the tail of the transmission and look forward you can see all the bolts and access them all…Use an impact wrench and the bolts zip right out.
what kind of tools are needed to replace a radiator on this model? standard or metric.?
Hi, Eric good morning, nice video. I have a s10 1998 2.2, could u tell me what is the exact pressurre of the gas pump thanks for your help, sorry for my inglish. Iam from Honduras
U don't have to do all this removing if u just do a nice lsx swap lol just take everything out
im trying to replace my exhaust manifold on a 1998 s10 2.2 but there is a steel plate where the ac compressor sits, and i cant remove it, i remove 2nuts attatch to the head and i think there is a third one under the plate but i think is a permanent nut, is there a bolt coming from the power steering ? help me please
Hey Eric GR8 videos brother. Lots of knowledge and xpertise. I have a question for u. Can I swap a 2001 S10 2.2 into a 98 without any complications? Thanks
Thank you for these! Very well thought out and informative. About to do my 2000 S10. Long block sitting the bed ready for me to get with it. Now, I think I will!
RIP RYAN COFFEY
I just did one of these it was soooooooo fun lol
Ma truck is 94 have a problem a Kent change the belt
lol I also leave the bolts on after taking parts off though I also label trays
Hey Eric thanks to you I got my engine out and ready to swap was wondering where you got that reconditioned long block from and how much
I recently started a Car repair channel and would highly appreciate if you would take a second to check it out and Subscribe if you like what you see.
hi Eric love the motor 2.2 swap videos and my hat goes out to you on this one very detailed and to the point. do more please
is this guy an actual are certified tech? this video is pathetic more like Erick the no car guy
Try that with a 97 Sonoma, mine LOL.
You are the man Eric
I am sorry to hear about your friend.
Good series. Was thinking about picking one of these up on CL, but I think I'll pass. The other truck I was looking at was a Mazda B4000. I own a 99 Mazda Protoge 1.6L now and have had nothing but a good experience. The B4000 has good reviews across the board.
36:06 why didn't you just remove that bolt holding the fuel line so you can move fuel line having better access to the bolt on the alternator?
I did a clutch and slave cylinder on one of these. It was not fun. Especially when the catch cup I was using to bleed the slave cylinder fell and dumped the fluid directly into my mouth.
There's a story about an automotive engineer back in the late 60's when they were just about getting cars easy to work on. The engineer came home and caught his wife in bed with a mechanic. He told his buddies and they've been screwing us back ever since.
I caught myself going " use cameraman Brian!", then It was like "oh.. this is older. right.
"
looks like somebody has had the shifter out , I don't see the big rubber thing that goes under the body around the bottom of the shifter
AMEN
Are you using a 2 ton jack to raise the car?
