Q: Whats a better pickup truck a Chevrolet S-10, Toyota Tacoma, or a Nissan pickup?
I need to buy a used truck for my landscaping business but I don’t know which one would be better?

My friend is selling me his 1995 Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck xtra-cab manual transmission, 4 cylinders, 150k miles for $2,700.00 do you think it’s a good buy?

A: Its all about maintenance. If you take care of it they last. If not they don’t.

If you manage to get 10 mpg in an S10 something is wrong with it.

Q: 1997 S-10 Chevrolet truck with 4.3L wont start> Help!!!?
I have a 1997 S-10 Chevorlet truck with a 4.3 Liter motor with a 5 speed transmition. The gas gauge doesn’t work so I check by the mileage. I accedently let the car run out of gas and it wouldnt start. I put 13 bucks worth of gas in the car and it would still not start. I used some starting fluid and the car started right up. I drove it around for a few days and it would have a hard time starting every now and then. But the car ran really good. When I try to start it the rpms will pick up to about 500 and then die. The car runs just under 1,000. It wont start anymore. I put fuel injector cleaner in a full tank of gas and replaced the fuel filter. When the car was running there would be some stuttering with the acelleration sometimes. Please help me

A: i agree with ed its the fuel pump these trucks had alot of problems with fuel pumps. while cranking you need 60lb of pressure. if you have only 55lb because of a weak pump it will not start. i replaced a lot of these.

Q: Chevrolet S-10 Truck (86′) problem?
My husband went to open the hood of his truck and the cable/release latch that opens it broke. Does anyone know how much this runs in price or is it even fixable?

A: yes it is fixable and inexpensive, look into a local salvage yard for the cable, if unavailable, go aftermarket dealer pricing would be high

Q: how much should I sell my beater truck for- 1991 chevrolet S-10?
I have been using it to haul tree limbs etc. It has lots of minor problems, one window doesn’t roll down, no A.C., fuel gauge is broken, Have to use a screw driver instead of a key, seats worn out, headliner falling down, etc. But the 4.3 V-6 runs great, transmission and breaks are great! Does not burn oil, or does it have any leaks. It is a good tree limb hauler.

A: if it will still pass inspection go with 800 to 1500. If it will not pass inspection go figure what the price will be to fix the problems then subtract that from the price you would sell it for if it passes inspection. Dont go lower then 400 bucks unless its really screwed up

Q: How hard is it to change the drive shaft carrier bearing on a 1995 Chevrolet S-10?
My truck vibrates really bad when i slow down, so after doing research i figure that’s what it was, some people have told me it really hard to do, others have disagreed. Any input?

A: you must be talking about u-joints at either end of the drive shaft shaft usually when bad will have vibration not so much with down shift but at higher speeds as in drivng down highway starting around 40-50 and getting worse the faster you go but will need a to put it in vice and heat to get them off and try not to put any dents in it so you don’t throw off the balance of the d/shaft. carrier bearing on the drive shaft usually are on the longer/larger body trucks which need the longer drive shaft

Q: I have a 1993 Chevrolet s-10 pickup that will not start. Can anyone help?
The truck started when I bought it and ran for about 1 month. It always started roughly and once you turned off the engine you had to wait for 1 hour or so before it would start again.

We replaced the fuel pump and after 3 hours under the truck it still would not start. I have been told there is no fuel reaching the fuel injectors. I have listened to hear if the fuel pump kicks on and it did not as far as I could tell. Thanks for any help.
I have replaced the fuel filter as well. The truck trys to start and I had used fuel in-a-can sprayed onto the injectors to get it started but it dies shortly afterward.
There is voltage to the pump, I did check that but it still is not working. No pinched or corroded fuel lines.

I know there is no fuel getting to the injectors because I took off the fuel lines at the injectors in the engine and by the fuel filter and there was no fuel at all in the lines so i would assume there isn’t any pressure either.

A: Somewhere on the fuel line to the injectors or the throttle body if it’s throttle body injected is a fitting that has threads on it.Having a TRUSTED mechanic put a fuel pressure testing gauge on that fitting will tell you if fuel is getting to the engine.If there is no fuel going to the engine then either the new fuel pump is bad or there is a obstruction in the fuel line.Having someone lie under the vehicle near the fuel pump while someone else turns the key to the ON NOT THE START position you should be able to hear the pump running or not.If the pump is running and there is pressure on the gauge then you need to start checking the ignition system.

Q: I have a Chevrolet 2000 S-10 4-cylinder and while I was driving heard a loud pop.?
I was just coming home from work when I heard a very loud POP sound underneath my truck. The sound seemed like it came from underneath the truck near the driver side (right under my feet it seemed). I cheked under the truck and didnt see anything and checked to make sure nothing was leaking afterwards. Any idea what this might be? Also I didnt see anything that I ran over on the road unless it was a rock that hit the undercarriage. Please help.

A: Make sure brakes, steering and ride seem normal.
It’s probably alright.

Q: what can i do to trick out a chevy s10?
i just got a 2003 chevrolet s-10 truck
and i really don’t know a lot about cars and trucks,
but all i know is that this one is NOT a sight to see.

is there anything i can do to it
[exterior]
to make it look really good?

A: If its 2wd lower it a litte but do it right so you retain the ride quality. Try belltech .If its a 4wd lift it a little. Put some old cammaro ralley wheels on it with the flat caps that looks good and wouldnt be just the same old ghetto look. Make it look like a muscle truck. Put a tuned exaust on it and maybe a cowl induction hood. Maybe a new paint job if it needs it. For power look at a supercharger if its a v6. Kinda makes me want one..

Q: Chevrolet 2.2 Flex?? S-10??
I own an extended cab 2001 Chevrolet S-10 with a 2.2 Liter Flex 4-cylinder. So far it has been a great vehicle with decent gas mileage and even tow capability for a small truck. I have experienced minor brake issues on extremely rough surfaces, along with the brake dust build up on the front rims and surrounding area. I am curious to know everyones experiences or what they know about the S-10 and its reliability, common problems, and anything else.

A: well the break dust build up is from your driving habbits applying the breaks to hard and waiting to the last minut to start breaking, but besides that they are very good vehicle u should get alot of mileage out of it.

Q: How do I diagnose a 97 Chevy s-10 cutting out at constant speed?
I have a 1997 Chevrolet s-10 (s10) 2wd ext. cab w/ the 4.3L V6 vortec engine and manual transmission. The truck starts easily, but it cuts out when driving at constant speeds. It seems fine during acceleration and at idle, other than some clanking sounds (not sure if this has anything to do with the problem or not), but as soon as I try to maintain a constant speed, it starts to hiccup every couple seconds. I am not experienced in auto repair, but research points me towards fuel pump and/or filter. Is there a way to diagnose this without fancy tools? A fuel pump is a lot more to replace than just the filter, so is there a way to differentiate which might be bad, if either? Other ideas???

Thanks so much.
There is NO Check Engine Light on at this time. The plugs and wires were replaced about 1000 miles ago. The truck has about 125K on it.

A: Perhaps there is a short somewhere and it is causing this problem. A good mechanic will be able to tell you what it is. but could also be something with the timing also. I would choose the cheapest route first. Then work up. !

Q: 2002 Chevrolet S-10 brake lights stick when using brakes but the 3rd brake light works everytime w/o sticking?
hello, i have a 2002 chevrolet s-10 2.2liter 5 speed pick up. my problem is that my rear two brake lights stick sometimes after pressing the brake petal but even when they might stick i have to tap the pedal several times and they go off. however the 3rd brake light on top of the truck never sticks and works every time. i have replaced the CHMSL relay, replaced the braking ground wire,turn/signal hazard flasher,turn signal/hazard switch on the steering column,stop light switch on the top of the brake pedal(which is not adjustable,just slides on with a metal clip to go over it),and the turn signal fuse,hazard fuse inside the fuse panel of the truck and my rear brake lights still stick. the weird thing is that when they stick if i turn on the left turn signal the right one is stuck on still but the left light blinks, turn the right blinker on and the left light stays on and the right light blinks.turn off turn signals and they are stuck on until i tap the brakes until they go off.thank you to anyone who takes the time to read this and a special thank you to anyone who responds with any kind of answer. thanks

A: If anyone has messed w/ the wiring before, there may be wires crossed underneath. If it was mine I would start at the back &(this may sound stoopid) check the bulbs. If they’re fine then get underneath in back and work your way forward following the wiring harness. All this is just if you think it may have been worked on by a previous owner. Hope it helps

Q: 1991 Chevrolet S-10 Blazer?
I purchased a 91 Chevrolet Blazer (S-10) on the 3rd of April, I had the oil changed on the 5th of April, 08. This morning, while on the way to take my kids to school, i noticed the oil pressure gauge was registering very low. Though the truck wasn’t running any different. I stopped and checked the oil level and it was fine. Isn’t there an Oil pressure sending unit or something like that that controls the gauges? It has been a long time since i had a vehicle of this age and type. (Though i am female i am not stupid so please if you answer don’t give any “oh shes a female” answers). I don’t mind getting my hands dirty and if i can do the work myself i will. Any possibilities will be appreciated. Thanks to all.
It has a 6cyl 4.2 engine. The oil pressure gauge has 0, 40, and 80 on it. It has been staying between just below 40 and just above it. Now, when i slow down and stop it fluctuates between 0 and about 20 and the “Check Gauges” light flashes.

A: Its running perfectly fine, just below 40 is fine,I have the same truck

Mine has 273,000 miles on it,Ive had it for 3 years now and put 40K miles a year on it, the thing you have to watch out for is the bearings,they go! The truck will give you fair warning too,it will start to sound like you have big knobby truck tires on it when the bearings need replacing. By the way,this has been the best vehicle ive ever owned!!

Good luck!

The check engine light goes on and off in mine too,and its never been a problem for years!

Q: Can a 1991 chevrolet s-10 extended cab handle a slide in camper?
i have a 1991 chevrolet s-10 extended cab, it has a V6, i want to put a slide in camper in it, and i plan on doing alot of traveling in it, have a road trip planned next summer to the east coast to the west coast, think it can handle it? heres an example of the kind of camper i want, the dry weight says 1,120..is that how much it ways with all the equipment like the water ect http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Sunlite-Truck-Camper-Ice-Cold-AC-Toilet-NO-RESERVE_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem35a5fd26ccQQitemZ230418097868QQptZRVsQ5fCampers

thannnnks
i’m going to try and find the lightest one possible,, thout id add that

A: The S-10 isn’t designed for such weight. 500 lbs is what it’s rated for. Handling will be poor and gas mileage will drop by half. Go get a real truck.
