[@M1ke10191]

Much respect to you, Eric, for doing this repair in his memory. I;m sure he'd be proud.

[@erykuwaye7376]

Best mechanic and teacher ever. Greetings Eric! God Bless You!!

[@20ERIC1992]

I need to learn about cars in English for professional reasons and your videos are helping me a lot. Thank you very much! subscribed. greetings from Brazil!

[@moneygeewtee]

Great video Eric. I'm such a novice at all of this, but tend to learn more and gain understanding, if not confidence in tackling a few your suggestions. I think it's great that your dedicating this to your friend Ryan. So sorry for your loss. I'm sure his family will appreciate all the hard work you put into this swap, + video. Looking forward to Part 2! Take care.

[@rdavisrock]

Eric, I have a 2001 chevy S10. It has almost a half a million miles on the block. I have rebuilt the engine in stages a few times now and I think it is time to replace. I hate car payments so I bought a new engine just like the one on your Awesome Show. I plan to use your lessons learned to do mine. Thank you so much for your service and I will donate as much as I can. God Bless or whatever you believe in. I am following you now.😃😃😃😃😃

[@maryshan80]

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.

[@cbeHotboyred1614]

This one for Ryan and his family!!!! Our prayers are with you and yours friends and family !!!

[@limedime03]

I'm sorry for the loss of your friend, you seem very fond of his family. You're a great guy love your videos. Wish you were in Houston, TX, I'd bring you my 2003 S-10 to help me with getting it all fixed up. Keep the videos coming bro.

[@feltongailey8987]

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!

[@AttilaTheHun333333]

I am sorry for your loss, Eric. Thank you very much for the great video.

[@seitengewehr98]

Wow, Eric! Looks like this series is shaping up to be a masterpiece of sorts. I don't believe you've ever been so thorough in engine swap videos. It reflects your dedication to honoring Ryan's memory. Well done, mate. Looking forward to the rest of the series

[@ugotsmacked1]

Sorry about your loss Eric! :/ i know how you feel.R.I.P Ryan Still watching every video to learn something new! Keep up the good work!

[@dolssondko]

Very nice intro Eric, from the heart. Great video so far too, only about 10 minutes in but looking forward to finishing this as soon as I can :)

[@mikebenoit13]

Thank you so much Eric I'd be lost without you buddy keep doing what you doing because you're helping a lot of people im one of em

[@robertdavis6708]

Keep those videos coming Eric. Although I don't have a GM product, I like your different approaches to tear downs.. I hope # 2 films smoothly.

[@wyattklingensmith8862]

Excellent video series i remember watching this while i was 13-14 years old in middle school

[@korosys]

I thought you were great before and now you have permanently made a good guy spot in my mind. sorry to hear about your friend and I know he appreciates your video in his honour!!!!

[@Ronclayist]

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.

[@Beretta96Dan]

You know your stuff, Eric! Love watching the videos! Thanks!

[@Derpinguin44]

RIP Ryan Coffey. And thank you very much, Eric.

[@mannys9130]

And now the anticipation will kill me until part 2 comes out! Great job Eric!

[@TheIc3m4n89]

Eric, I'm sorry for your loss cancer can be a hard thing to deal with, I know my little sister had cancer and thankfully beat it. This was a great video! I actually replaced an engine in a 4.7 HO jeep Grand Cherokee :-) I can't wait for your next video! Keep up the great work!

[@MrDfitch09]

Man it must take so long to edit all these ..... Thanks for all your hard work Eric these vids are fun and informative

[@bob2906]

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

[@ericthecarguy]

Actually no. I did not diagnose this engine. It was brought to me half taken apart and I was told to put an engine in it. Sorry.

[@Unclebobs2]

I have the same jack, it does the same thing with the handle, it lowers it self all the time. Great video.

[@ericthecarguy]

Let's go on a journey. One where we swap out an engine in this little GMC Sonoma. 2001 GMC Sonoma 2.2L Engine Replacement (Part 1) -EricTheCarGuy

[@dazsenna4842]

Good video Eric

[@mikerutherford6320]

EricTheCarGuy .hey man were did you get that long block from for that sonnama

[@anthonyyang81]

Sorry about your loss, Eric, Thanks for the video.

[@shaunpmb1]

loved this vid man. as a budding mechanic apprentice these provide me with a lot of information that i will hopefully be able to use later on down the line

[@robertjahrling1877]

I was looking to watch a video on replacing the gasket on the intake manifold however in honor of Ryan I will watch this whole video RIP Ryan

[@46lfries]

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

[@Jacksonkellyfreak]

Sorry for your loss Eric. Great vid!

[@evoGage]

I like these engine replacement videos! Much respect Ryan R.I.P :(

[@epiphaknee]

I was just trying to help some guy with a 2001 Chevrolet S-10. He had a problem with the ARR Pump hose and existence of and location of the pump. I shared with him about ETCG and the Engine R&R series on the Sonoma (right at the parts counter at a GM dealer). His answer is right at 31:25! Eric saves the day again. The price of my part mysterious was increased by 45% from MSRP. I'll shop elsewhere. I hope he finds Eric's channel! It just illustrates how good the videos are at ETCG!

[@PAMAROSHOUSE]

I own a 2000 Sonoma 4 cyl manual,w/125k im gonna watch this series for sure

[@blindfire69]

Thank you Eric for all the good camera angles and lighting, thumbs up for the work done as well

[@Southworth138]

Great vid. In addition to putting bolts back in their holes to keep them from getting lost or mixed up, I also like to group bolts in ziploc bags and write on them with a sharpie. "power steering pump bolts". Mixed up or lost bolts can make a job seem twice as hard.

[@Mickey_Bauer]

Here we go again...I'll probably never own a Sonoma in my life but I'm watching this anyway and now i'm hooked. Can't wait for part 2... Is it uploading yet :)

[@heros2110]

Oh that is a hard history of this truck. Cancer is such a creepy disease. We actually have such a case in our family as well. After chemo-/radiotherapy and a heavy surgery, we hope, my mother in law is doing better now (cervix cancer). Greetings from Germany.

[@mds2465]

Nice job with the engine so far! Very sorry to hear about Ryan! A guy I went to school with, who was also Ryan succumbed to a brain tumor 2 years ago, he was 18 and just several months shy of graduating high school

[@CrazyWoody1989]

The body on that Sonoma looks pretty great! I have a 2002 model s10, my parents bought it new and it has quite a bit of rust considering that it's no older than what it is.

[@Barnekkid]

Great video, Eric. The comment about engineers made me smile.

[@farerse]

nice speech for your friend.. and good video, looking forward to see part 2!

[@sneaks01]

I really enjoy your vids man. Could watch them all night! Keep up the great work!

[@frdradio]

Hey man, just wanted to say that I love the vids, and thanks for taking the time to make them. Good on ya, Eric.

[@sanozi]

RIP Ryan, I'm learning a lot for you Eric not only on mechanical work also to be a better man.

[@Glickglickboom]

Even tho it sucks that I have to wait for the next video, excellent video. My first car was a 1996 Chevy S10 2.2l 5 speed 2WD. I did just about every repair imaginable to that truck, except pull the motor. Although some of the intake system seems updated on this Sonoma allot seems to be the same. I suppose GM wasn't in the habit of making too many changes in this vintage of mini truck. Sure brings back memories of when I first started turning wrenches in high school. Thanks Eric.

[@joppi999]

This is the second time I'm watching this video, and this video is the reason I subed in the firstplace. You are a good guy, Ericthecarguy!

[@Mark-gg6iy]

I appreciate the proper terminology and lack of vulgarity. Excellent video. btw.....I once worked with a good underwater robotic (ROV) electronic tech from Louisiana that used "sh*t" in every sentence to describe nearly everything as in "this s*&t goes here, connected to this s*&t, that in turn feeds this s*$t".

[@brokenotdead9587]

Great Video. The mass connectors for that engine are on bottom of the fuse box and on the ecu.

[@houshidar558]

YAY an engine replacement video thanks eric! :) i don't need to replace an engine but its so intresting to see you do it :).

[@jeffscomp]

Great work as usual and you have all of the right tools.

[@AamirZ]

Hey Eric thanks for the making the video for us to watch. I know it's a bit of a pain to juggle the job and ensure the camera has a good view too.

[@bcsiutube]

Good video! Thanks for taking the time to talk it through.

[@MrAntonio414]

Your a great inspiration to me you are a great mechanic and one day i wish to know atleast half of what you know

[@geekomedia]

I came for car repair and got some feels too. RIP Ryan. I hope his family is doing alright. What a terrible thing.

[@cvnapps51]

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.

[@Brandon.S123]

Aw yeah, I just happen to have a 2001 S10 2.2L. I'm sure this series will be super useful.

[@veggiepowered]

I'am Your Newest Subscriber Great Videos . I Have A 95 S10 2.2 Liter With 5 Speed Manual Has Choptop Roof Hasent Ran In 11 Years I Wanta Get It Running Again Has Low Compression In A Few Cylinders

[@hellcat1988]

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.

[@spelunkerd]

At some point in the series, can you say a few words about how the diagnosis of a bad engine was made and the history of what led to this procedure?

[@veggiepowered]

I Have A 1994 Chevy S10 Choptop I Wanta Get It Running Again 2.2 Liter Engine Needs A Camshaft Sensor And Timing Chain And Gears

[@paulchasse7602]

first let me say I hope you had a good holiday second I am sorry for the loss of your friend. Now are you working on part 2 . And let me say one thing you have some strength. Okay take care can't wait for the other video. Thank you for everything.

[@Antwon627]

Sorry for your lost Eric.

[@MrDennis170]

At first I was like... Why would someone waste so much time & money on such an old car and less than 2 minutes later I realised why you & the owner are doing this! Well done Eric!

[@VinceFung]

I always put the bolts/fasteners/etc back into where they would go. It does make your work in the engine heaps easier.

[@novacheck240]

You're a good man Eric. Keep it up.

[@Harrythepot]

I know alot of people have said this in the past but we all need to put together and buy Eric a lift. I'm sure his back we thank us in the future.

[@recoveringnewyorker2243]

Hey Eric, Shep here. In 2011 I bought a 2000 S10 w/74k and a cracked block for $500.The former owner didn't know about basic car care.She did however keep it clean. A used engine,$1000.Reman,$1600.New from GM,$1800. I went new.I had to remove the head and smash the pistons to rotate the crank to unbolt it from the torque converter!I replaced various other parts(rad,starter,alt,etc)It's a neat truck now but Mr Holzman is right. If you ran the 1/4 mile you'd have to clock it with a calender!

[@detroitr]

Yes we really, really like it when you replace engines

[@YipperX5]

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!

[@ericthecarguy]

This engine has a chain, not a belt. Don't worry, lots more videos in this series to go.

[@God_is_Justice]

OMG YOu read my mind because I WAS going to ask you where to put the jack under :-D and I am sorry about your friend, that sucks!

[@mrquad777]

Thanks Eric for another useful video. I want to become a mechanic someday but I'm only 16 now. I had an interview for an apprenticeship with mercedes last week. Hopefully I'll get it.

[@LinusScrubTips]

Beautiful truck. Looks well taken care of.

[@zx8401ztv]

Eric, your a smashing bloke and im sure ryan knows your doing his truck, i know he also trusts you as he loved your work. Excellent video as allways mate :-), so enjoy your vids :-)

[@opl500]

Yeah that one of the things that's always kept me from working on cars - all the different tools you need to do anything. And if you don't have the right tool, everything gets 10x harder than it needs to be.

[@b4a2m0f]

sorry to hear the news great video man keep it up

[@KnightTime007]

Been anticipating this video as one of my vehicles is a Chevy S10 with 2.2l manual, identical to the Sonoma, and I hope to keep it until I go where Ryan Coffey is hanging out. Great stuff as usual Eric . Does anyone know the links to the other three videos Eric produced featuring Ryan's Sonoma? Oh yeah ... You can replace the spark plug wires and coils by just removing the right wheel if not replacing the 2.2l !!! Thanks Eric ... Looking forward to the next video

[@KingDavid6196352909]

RIP Ryan.Thankyou for all the cool video's Erock.why not just yank the engine out and then take what you need off of it.

[@sandalpumper1023]

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.

[@jamesthera]

I caught myself going " use cameraman Brian!", then It was like "oh.. this is older. right. "

[@dhonnoll78]

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?

[@rwbishop]

First, sorry for the loss of your friend... very sad. For the record, whenever I do an engine swap or other access intensive stuff, I bite the bullet and yank the hood first. The extra light & access are always well worth the minor inconvenience. If working outside, be sure to have an appropriate tarp and/or whatever handy for nights, inactive periods and in-climate weather...

[@EngineMechanic128]

Thats a nice lookin truck truck hope u have fun with the engine pull eric take care man

[@realrussclarke]

You are the man Eric

[@itumblers]

Great video Eric!

[@tmmtmm]

bloody hell, imagine having the task of replacing ignition leads on one of these!

[@thomaspitts3102]

Iv never done this but very thorough and explained everything. Smart man and gave me confidence to try

[@digital4282]

Sorry about your friend, Eric. May he rest in peace.

[@rosscoroni]

He didn't need to and it would have wasted time. Eric is all about doing things the most efficient way possible.

[@dee1062]

Tears of joy 😭

[@jljr98]

hey eric i have a 1996 gmc jimmy 4.3 vortec and i have a few tips/tricks for you in the future for you that might make things simpler when you remove the hood open it up to take those bolts on to the plastic above the hinge than close the hood with a small piece of wood under it than pop them out and you have double the ratchet room than you remove the hood the same way you did also there should be a few main wiring harness connectors for the engine around the abs unit

[@jamesdahmer5027]

Shop's lookin real good Eric!

[@programmerx8455]

Very emotional intro

[@timma87698]

Do you ever use your videos to remind yourself how each part fits back where it belongs? I'm sure you have plenty of expertise, but as an aspiring driveway mechanic I always have to make reminders for myself about what goes where.

[@fahadanizi9926]

Sorry for your lost

[@SERI0USB33F]

Oh yeah and from now on, I'm going to call you 'The Surgeon' because everything you do is clean and methodical.. and you're a Mechanic lol
