I'm not trying to hijack your thread but I just wanted to know what year S-10 brake cylinder works for our cars?

1991 S-10 pickup with manual brakes. What you are looking for is the 3/4" bore wheel cylinder. Advance Auto Parts have them under Bendix p/n 33891. That's where I bought mine. About $25 each.

 

[Blaze]

Very cool, I appreciate the info

 

[buickpower]

I believe the stock wheel cylinder is 3/4, and the S-10 wheel cylinder bore you want is 7/8. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

 

[John Larkin]

*EDIT* I was off by one number. p/n 33892. Sorry guys.

Yes...and it's not always fun in the rain when you have to brake hard. I rarely every drive my car in the rain, so I don't have to worry about it much.

They definitely help in holding the car on the line.

Clarification on year

So what year wheel cylinders am i looing for off a S-10?

I work at autozone and the 80's S-10 wheel cylinders are the same as the buicks.

Which year should i be getting these wheel cylinders for?

Just be warned that they may be feather tight. I did mine and when going in reverse just touching them would jerk the car. Looked like I couldn't drive.
I since went back to stock. If this happens to you, an adjustable proportioning valve may be of help.

Which is the correct #?

p/n 33892


p/n 37644


Both are mentioned in this thread

 

[grocerygetter]

they are both right. the more expensive one is the "better" one at Advanced Auto. The other one should work fine in my book...that's what I bought.

 

[justabuickv6]

I can't find it anywhere for that cheap. #37644 is around $35.00 instead of $9. www.napaonline.com

 

[grocerygetter]

you gotta put the "w" in front of the cheaper number. Mine were like $9.85 or something.

 

[anadaron]

Still curious as to the year of S-10.

So what year S-10 are these off of?
