2001 GMC Sonoma 2.2L Engine Replacement (Part 2) -EricTheCarGuy

1. Pvcvalve

2. Hello Eric im going to be installing a 2.2 liter engine , I did purchase an engine from orileys, what are your thoughts on this engine or if you have heard of these engine long blocks ? Power torque engine long blocks

3. Here's an old school cheat for removing stuck fasteners like Chevy exhaust bolts. After you get them good and hot take a cheap candle and push the wax onto the threads while the metal is hot and expanded the paraffin wax will chase down the threads and work just like a perfect lubricant and you will be able to get your fastener off. I work on boat motors for living and I probably can get off 98 to 99% of stuck and corroded fasteners using this method.

4. Put a bolt in the chain to take out slack

5. 10:27 rebuilding my 99 Chevy s10 and let me tell you something I had to use a sawzall to get through the studs of the exhaust manifold. That's where I'm at with the project just ordered a new front pipe and keeping it going…love this S10 even though it's a 4 cylinder it's still my baby and she's in red❤

6. Eric, I am glad (not really) that you are having the same problems with vehicles that myself and everyone else has. It just makes me feel like I am not the only one when I hear it from a mechanic.

7. Wonder how this truck is now in 2019?

8. i have the same 2.2l engine, an s10, equal miles and I found this wire with a green cap midway through it left unplugged with that connector you were holding in your hand at 45:46. I need to know where it goes and what to plug it back into. Funky smell wafting through the air when my truck is running. Unburnt fuel vapors in the air? Stinks! I did notice you had the engine up on a hoist and it was below the air intake and behind the alternator, so, ive got somewhere to start..

9. Brother Eric, Thank you again. I am doing one today on a 1998 automatic. I am grateful for you taking time to create videos. The world is a better place. Sorry for your loss.

10. Did u do a video of putting the motor back in or the new motor.

11. I'm doing a swap on a 00 sonoma.

12. Dude! you sound and look George Clooney….

13. We did the same swap on a 2000 S-10; It was much easier to take the wiring harness off the fuse block and lay the harness back from over the engine. Three 10 mm bolts held the fuse block in place, one 10 mm electrical connector at the front, one 7 mm bolt to remove that section of harness from the fuse block. Also, it was MUCH easier to access the bolts and electrical connectors low on the passenger side from the wheel wells with the tires removed.

14. Lift front first then clear mounts, starter motor, hangs on mount bad  and hits fire wall     Before set Replacement  down in mounts re hook all crap on passenger side other wise its hell

15. that's gratifying to see. I'm doing a 94 s-10 and mirroring your steps. kudos for your patience dude. you must be a dad.

16. Much Patience!!

17. That is a bitch of a job to do on the ground. No money would make a job like that worthwhile..but good on you for doing it..

18. Gear wrenches and penetrating fluid works great for exhaust manifold bolts, once you break torque that is.

19. just change my engine I my S10 this video really helped

20. thank you man your video really help 🙂 and thanks to the guy who receomended for the troubleiwas having

21. he delivered an engine ….. a proud bouncing baby engine boy …. crying an all ….

22. Is there an easier way to remove the engine ?disconnect the wires and hoses unbot from the trans and motor mounts?

23. I have one of these looks hard it's a good truck with 300 k I could pull a Subaru motor in a hour or so all cars should that easy I feel for Eric the struggle continues

24. Eric I wonder if your ever going to put the engine in Oliver,I really was interested,But I think your stalling,,I'm disappointed going on to someone else…

25. Boy all that you had to go trough to get that engine out, I figure it would have been easier to remove the cab.

26. So glad you stopped putting the intro music at the beginning of the video's.

27. Part 2: 7:00. I soaked the exhaust bolts with WD-40, I mean soaked, waited overnight, and those bolts slid out. They had a fair amount of rust on them. It worked for me. 🙂 BTW, Eric is the definitive guide for everything auto. 🙂

28. so im thinking of swapping my 4cyl for a 6cyl is there any key things like the trans wont work or maybe the computer or more wiring?

29. Great videos! Very informative! This looks like a ball ache without concentrating on recording!

30. What's the labor cost of this? and how do you base your rate, difficulty, time, etc. Thanks in advance.

31. Those header to exhaust bolts suck. I got one out and broke the other two. Whole thing is clamped together. 

32. This particular job is a lot less strenuous if you pull the transmission with the engine. If you do not have swivel impact sockets….good luck, I will be praying for you.

33. Hi Eric my name is Jeremy. I've been following you for a little while now I have a question for you I have a 2012 Dodge Journey I would like to know the best way to remove the fabric on the driver seat please let me know thank you

34. I have found that air tool oil works well, just after you heat it up, hit it with some air tool oil. because its a really light oil, it gets in everywhere, maybe even better than penetrating oil.

35. how much would you charge to replace the engine in a '98 2wd 4.3L ext. cab s10?

36. I've been watching your videos for some time now and I'm now replacing my first engine. I've pulled transmissions for a clutch. It's on a 1998 volkswagen passat. 1.8 turbo. I'm glad it's a small engine because I had to lift it out by hand. I'm going to be installing the new engine in the next few days. I've placed as many fasteners back in there place as I can. I feel a little overwhelmed but I still have my fingers crossed. Thanks for the videos.
