Throwing this out there- engine help
Hi guys.
I've got a non-cub cadet engine related issue on my truck, and I was wondering if someone could help point me in a direction to look/consider before I start throwing parts and $$ at a problem that might not need parts. Here's what I'm going through: 1997 S 10. 4.3 liter engine. 150,800 miles. 2 wd. Outside temp: just under 20 degrees F New battery: January 2015 Fuel: 3/4 full tank I had trouble getting the ole girl going today leaving work. It cranked twice, stopped for a second, then started cranking again. (all with the key in the start position.) Started up, chugged a bit, and stalled. I was able to get it going the next time I engaged the starter. Once she was running, I put it in Drive, and it darn near stalled out again. Taking it down the road during the first 1/4 mile it was chugging. IE it normally idles about 500 RPM and it was dipping to 300 then back to 500 and down again. The automatic trans. was also shifting at a much higher RPM than usual. Taking my foot off the accelerator and she'd drop power and almost stall. (it never did, but felt like it wanted to.) The engine warmed up, and after 1/2 mile it operated normally. The gauge on the dash is showing the alternator is putting out approx. 15 volts when running. Any thoughts? I've done some research on it and things are pointing to the coolant temp. sensor. (?) Thanks!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
