I thought maybe I had Ray's number -- but I don't. If you want to email me, I can give you the email address I have on his account.

Welcome to the site! When I bought mine in '83, I'd read that the S10 was available with a diesel, but none of our local dealers had any and they didn't seem to care.

Your truck looks to be in great condition.

What took you so long to join here?

Jack

Welcome to the site, Charles. Yes, probably a C223.

Jack

Definitely, what dorf said.

But if being on a road trip means you have to have someone else check it, please don't listen if they tell you the pump is bad. Too many "mechanics" won't admit they don't know that they don't know.

Welcome to the site! Nice looking truck! I too wish they'd offered that model pickup in a diesel. We've had some do diesel swaps into that style truck, but a bit underpowered. Jack, did they off the ext cab in a 4x4? I know they had a reg cab. 4x4 I think I found one of those in my local Pull-A-Par...

So i've inherited this lovely 1990 2.6l base extended cab pickup from my friend who did PNO for last 6yrs and brought back to life again This will b my truck for many upcoming yrs and will b change lotta things and i hoping i get lotta advice from here I am attaching pix of my pup right after first...

Welcome to the site, Mwitale.

If the double cab had been available here, I would probably be driving one.

If you need to know the model year, we should be able to get it from 10th digit of the VIN.
A=1980 (the US did not have this in 1980)
B=1981
C=1982
D=1983
E=1984
F=1985
G=1986
H=1987

I guess you traded the old one in? If not, I'd see about swapping the connector.

Jack

Andy,

I'm so glad you sorted that all out before I saw the post.

Jack

It's worth noting that this same question is posted on the PlanetIsuzoo.com site, and they're already responding.

Jack

Welcome to the site. I'm a big SpaceCab fan. They weren't yet available when I bought my truck.

Jack

Wow, I just noticed this and want to say how much I appreciate your time and effort Jack. Running website can be a daunting and often thankless project. I know I'd be lost without it when it comes to figuring things out with my crazy turbo diesel pup. As an aside, your pup, the red and silver LS lo...

And the flywheel is lighter on the C223-T.

Jack

Ok, I'll start, but I doubt I cover everything.
Assuming both are from the same year:
Smaller valves on the C223-T
Different oil pump
Different injection pump

Besides the engine itself:
Radiators are different, and the transmissions actually have slightly different gear ratios (for 2wd).

No.
