Syclone Guru Needed

[Ryan Nakamura]

Been looking at a Syclone for sale but not familiar with them, and there little quarks like the GN or TTA. The truck is nice but needs a few things and am wanting to know what kind of (ball park) repair bill I would be looking at and if some parts are difficult or impossible to find. First the radiator is filled with rust and needs to be replaced. Second a hose on the wastegate controller keeps popping off. Third Someone stole the radio and broke the surrounding face plate. And last the front suspension squeaks and rattles like a bastard. Are any of these problems common, involve rare parts or very difficlult to fi? Any help, advice or part numbers would be greatly appreciative.

Thanx
Ryan

The stock radiator is plastic on hese trucks. It seeems odd that it would be filled with rust. I would think a good flushing would be in order to start with. The interior is standard S10 stuff so that should not be a big problem. The boost hoses were avaiable from Gm about a year ago. I think they were about $75. ouch. It would concern me that it keeps falling off. If this happens a lot you could do some serious damage to the interor of the motor. These motors are not as bullet proof as the 3.8. There is a syclone typhoon bulletin board. You may want to ask over there. Also how many miles are on this truck ? Feel free to email if I can help with any questions.

What are the miles on the truck. Go to www.syty.net there is alot of good information there. The interior pieces are common to all s-series trucks. Even if the radiator does need replacing it won't be alot, same with the front suspension. What are they asking on the truck. And do you know the build #? The motors hold up pretty well when tuned right. The fueling is the main hold back. Get it up to par (which it isn't from the factory,) and you will have a strong running truck.
