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: How do I fix a high pressurized A/C system on my 2000 Chevrolet S-10?
I had a mechanic replace my exhaust headers a while ago on a 2.2 L 4-Cyl. Engine and he had to remove the A/C unit to get to it. Now when I tried to use my A/C system it is not cooling down as it did before and when I tried to add more oil/frion mix into the system, the gauge was telling me that there is well over 100 psi of pressure inside and that I obviously shouldn’t add any more. During the process I had the system on Max A/C and the fan on high. In the middle vent there were small bits of sponge being blown through it. Through my random search of answers I think it might be the sensor that controls the compressor and tells it when to turn on/off. Any suggestions or ideas would help….

A: OKAY FIRST PUT THE GAUGES BACK ON AND READ BOTH THE HIGH AND LOW SIDE PRESSURES.

LOW SIDE 30 TO 40 PSI AND HIGH SIDE 225 TO 250 PSI.

CHEAPEST WAY IS TO JUST REPLACE THE ACCUMULATOR AND THE EXPANSION TUBE AND EVACUATE AND RECHARGE AND ADD THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF FREON AND OIL.

TRY THIS GUY, I HAVE PURCHASED MANY ITEMS FROM HIM THROUGHOUT THE YEARS AND SOMETIMES HE HAS A LOT OF OLDER PARTS AND ODDBALL PARTS, ALSO HAS VERY GOOD PRICING AS WELL AND IS A VERY FAST SHIPPER.

Q: Can anyone lead me to a good source for finding info. on my 1987 Chevrolet S-10 Blazer?
I am in need of a transmission for this vehicle, the problem is I need to find out if it is or is not with the aux. valve body, I would like to do this by not having to pull the pan and look. I went to the local Chevy dealer and he looked in his records and could not tell me because two different trans. were installed in that vehicle that year. I would think with the Vin# someone will know, could use advice on how to find this out.

A: yea good old gm the later it was in the year the more you will have a aux v/b if memory serves me right look at he month i think anything later than 6/87 you will have the aux v/b but if you want to make sure pull the pan and if you see the tube that runs from the pump to the back of the v/b into the servo then it will be the aux v/b

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: 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: 95 chevy S-10 SS, When i use my turn signal my hazards turn on why?
I have a 95 Chevrolet S-10 SS- I recent purchased it and didn’t notice the problem before hand, When I turn on my head lights my right blinker doesnt work? but it does with my headlights off? and when i use any turn signal my hazards flash? Whats going on do i have some serious wiring problems to figure out?

A: Your trouble is in the turn signal switch. It is behind the steering wheel. If you have a air bag in the steering wheel ? You will need the proper person to repair it.
About two hours labor.

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: Harmonic Balancer for a 1985 Chevrolet S-10: SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY!?
My husband just found out that his Harmonic Balancer went out in his truck. I located the part but we aren’t sure how long this process will take to fix…can anyone tell me how extensive it is to completely disconnect then re-connect one of these parts?
Also, do you really need to use the pulley to do this procedure?
well, we started friday at 5:00 p.m and finished at 1:00 a.m. lol…we couldn’t figure out how to use the puller…and I’m actually the one that figured it out, plus we had to take everything off..the radiator, all the belts to get to it cause we didn’t have a lift or anything..so all together it was a 5 hour job, but it did save us a bunch of money..shops wanted $90.00/hr. labor…that you all for your answers..we prob. wouldn’t have tried to tackle it alone if I wouldn’t have read all your responses.

A: It is not that hard of a job. I am suspecting that the rubber ring in the balancer deteriorated and the ring has slipped. Hopefully the keyway hasn’t sheered in the snout of the crankshaft. This is what keeps the balancer from spinning on the end of the crankshaft. You’ll need to remove the upper half of the fan shroud. remove the serpentine belt or v-belts. It’s helpfull to remove the cooling fan just to get it out of the way. there is also a pulley bolted to the harmonic balancer that will have to be removed. Loosen the harmonic balancer retaining bolt. this will be very tight and the engine will have to be held in place if you don’t use an impact gun. you’ll have to either purchase or rent a harmonic balancer puller/installer.
it’s better to use an installer also because trying to swing a hammer in there with the radiator still in is pretty tight. I’ve also found a lot of the times you will need to use a tap or a thread chaser on the bolt holes the balancer puller uses. These are typically different bolt holes than what the pulley uses. They don’t get used very often and get plugged up with rust and dirt. Once you install the puller, tighten down the forcing screw. Make sure you put the adapter in the end of the screw for it to center on the snout of the crank. If not you’ll end up ruining the forcing screw. You’ll have to stop the engine from turning while turning the forcing screw. You can do this by using a screwdriver and engaging the teeth on the flywheel. Once you get the old balancer off, check and make sure the key is still installed on the snout of the crank. Install the new balancer using a balancer installer. It’s sort of like the remover but it presses the balancer on instead of removing it. You’ll need to hold the center screw and turn the big nut with a wrench. This forces the balancer back on to the crank. Make sure you press the balancer on all the way or the belts will have alignment problems.

Q: I have a 1991 Chevrolet S-10 pickup which suddenly stopped running.?
It had sat in my driveway for over a year without being run. After using it for short errands recently over the last week, it died on me. I can start it and it will run as long as my foot is on the gas pedal, but the minute I take my foot off, it dies. Can you tell me what might be wrong? Also, I have replaced the fuel filter and tried to empty the bad gas out of the tank. I can prime it, and it will run for a short period. PLEASE HELP!

A: i couldnt find any thng specific in my haynes but my brain tells me u got a bad sensor. i would guess air idle control valve is high on the list. second would be mass air flow and third would be throttle position sensor. i would go to junk yard and get aicv and toss that in. it will cost next to nothing. if that doesnt do it, bite the bullet and take it in for 85 bucks and have them diagnose it for you. good luck, keep your greasy side down.

Q: Blinker problems with 1992 Chevrolet S-10?
The right blinker works fine but when I try to use the left it doesn’t work. The light comes on but doesn’t blink. The indicator in the dash stays lit and dosen’t blink either. It blinks when the hazards are on but otherwise it doesn’t. When I try to turn to the left the switch doesn’t reset like it does when I switch it to turn right. I checked all the bulbs and they are all fine. Don’t know what’s wrong with it.

A: if all the bulbs are good but does not blink you need to replace turn signal switch. this will also fix the “When I try to turn to the left the switch doesn’t reset ” problem.

Q: Chevrolet Express 1997d. used or 2002 auctioneMaybe 03 auctioned too?
I need a vehicle for work and can’t choose!

Here are my choices:
1. 1997 3500 Chevrolet Express Cargo Van: Might be a V6 or V8
-Maintained by in house mechanic every month
-86,000 miles
-Some dents, scratches, interior cosmetics need some work
-$4,200 – The company is selling it because it’s the only vehicle thats too small on the lot and too low for the loading dock. And there logo is still on it, so they subtracted the cost of repaint also, I guess.
or
2. A 2002 1500/2500 Chevrolet Express Cargo Van from auction like Copart or IAA Auction.
or
3. A 2003-7 1500/2500 Chevrolet Express Cargo Van from auction like Copart or IAA Auction.

What I don’t like about the 97 is the fact that its now 2007 (10 years), are these Vans ageless or am I being to picky. (ps. I ride a 95 s-10 with a 98 engine). And the auction ones might be lemons. What you think?

If your a mechanic or very knowledgeable about this vehicle, then feel free to answer. It would also be nice if you own a few : ).

A: I would buy the 97′ Express, mostly because they only put 8,600 miles on it average yearly. This van is a V8 being that it is a 3500, it will cost more at the pump but V8’s are a decent powerhouse. The 97′ Express is also worth $6200 with alot of wear compaired to excellent condition being worth $8200, all in all it still is a bargain. My dad had leased a 2001 1500 with a V6 and the only problem he had was one spark plug went out, he currently owns a GMC Savana 1500 Cargo van. I have driven it a couple times and it really is a easy driver. With auctioned cars they tend to sell for more than they are worth, and most of them come with problems like leaks in the transmission or anywhere that vital fluids flow. It is better to be able to inspect and drive the vehicle to make sure you will be happy with it.

Q: Will a hitch from a 97 Blazer fit a 98 S-10?
I have an original factory frame-mounted receiver hitch that was taken from a 1997 Chevrolet Blazer LT 4×4; I have someone interested in buying it from me to use on a 1998 Chevy S-10 P/U. Neither of us knows: will it fit? Or can it be reasonably modified to fit?

A: Yes the blazer used the same frame and chassis 1996-2004. almost everything is interchangable except headlights grills and some interior parts.

Q: Why does my car randomly stall at low speeds or idle?
94 chevrolet s-10 4.3litre V6 approx 105k miles

fuel pump went out approx 15k miles ago and it was replaced along with a fuel filter. use 89 grade gas and regular fuel system treatments after an oil change.

My a/c cycles a lot. One thing I notice about my a/c is that every once in a while when you start it up you will hear a bang coming from where that compressor is at. Maybe it has plates/rotors in it that are off track. I almost think my a/c problem is causing the stalls?

It only stalls when i am going very slow or recently stopped from a slow speed. And, it only appears to do this when the a/c is on. It seems to want to miss after coming out of reverse from a parking spot too. Today was weird. It stalled as I parked in my garage, and it would not immediately start back up.

Thanks for any recommendations before I have it checked.

A: Idle air control solonoid may be going bad. I would take to a shop and check with scanner
