Q: Ok so my friend is considering buying a used 1993 Chevy S-10. Will 1993 blazer hood and fenders fit this?
This S-10 has Severe body rust. The box is being replaced. So are the rockers and cab corners. Both front Quarter panels need replacing, so if we can’t find a good set of used ones will a set off a 94′ Blazer fit this?

A: Yep, same body style.

Q: What is the most economical way to transport a 14′ Kayak using a Chevy S-10?
I need to something that I can load and unload myself and something that is not too pricey. Any advice is welcome.

A: More info would be helpful.

Do you have a cap on your chevy?

How heavey is the kayak?

I would suggest buying two foam cradles (fit to the underside of your kayak).

Then open the tailgate of your S-10 and put the kayak in the truck bed, resting on the foams.

You will also have to buy some rope or straps to strap it in.

Then, stick a red flag on the end of the kayak where it hangs off the back of your truck.

We did this when we had single kayaks and it was so easy to load and unload as the kayak was not on the top of the truck. Easy for one person to load/unload on their own.

Q: Anyone know where I can find a used pickup bed for a 1997 chevy s-10 pickup truck?
I would appreciate it seeing as how i was in a wreck and was hit from behind so now im trying to sprue my truck up again

A: I have a 62 chevy myself.

Check the junk yard. They part out cars that are deposited there, it’s good for body parts and unusual parts like exhaust manifolds.

Also, check the utility bed dealerships. They remove stock beds and install their beds. They do SOMETHING with the ones they take off, right?

Keep an eye out for ads, you never know.

Q: Can I put in a radio from a 99 malibu into a 1997 chevy s-10?
I want to change my radio for my s-10 and i used to have a chevy malibu and i have the radio. Do you think I can.. It looks like it fits… PLZ HELP me!!!

A: Many of the GM radios from about 1995 to about 2001 were the same. One of the key differences was that some came with a cooling fan in the back where others didn’t. The other difference was usually on the big SUV. They used a slide bracket on the right and left side of the radio instead of screw mounts on the front of the radio. I replaced a cassette player with a CD player with a fan. Had to cut out the plastic piece in the back of the dash for the fan to fit. Other than that I think your radios a compatible. I think the radio I got was from an S-10 and put it in a Caprice.

Q: I have a 2001 Chevy S 10, can I use diesel fuel instead of regular?
The reason I am asking is because I fill up at the station every three days, I put $20 in each time. I only drive to work and back, which is averaging to about 60 miles a day give or take. I want to know if I can convert vegetable oil and make it like diesel fuel so that I save money on gas. Is it possible for my car?

A: i have seen the effects of using diesel in a gas engine on 2 cars at the toyota dealer i worked at, as said black smoke out of the exhaust (a lot) 0 power, and could ruin you fuel/emission system.

to fix it, the tank had to be taken out and the diesel had to be taken out, they most likely flushed out the fuel lines and possibly replaced the fuel pump but not sure i didnt see the tech do that i was busy working on my own car.

Q: Will a chevy s 10 automatic transmission bolt up to a 1998 isuzu hombre 4.3 liter?
I have a 98 isuzu hombre that needs a transmission(automatic). Do you know how much a used one would cost if i put in myself? Also, would a transmission from a chevy s 10 fit becuase they were made by the same company i believe.

A: Yes it’s the same truck. Just make sure you buy one for the same size engine and whether it’s for a 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive truck. Chevy GMC, and Isuzu Hombre are the same but have different styling. Call some auto recyclers “junk yards” and price a used trans ($150-$800)and ask if they install and how much. There’s always deals to be found if you look hard enough. I had a older Chevy Blazer 4X4 done for $750 but the first used trans was no good and they replaced it under the 30 day warranty. The GMC Safari – Chevy Astro vans use the same engine and transmission if your buying one out of the classifieds ($100-$400 no warranty) .

Q: On a 1994 Chevy S-10 pickup truck, which fuse does the airbag use?
I need to replace the heater core in my ‘94 Chevy S-10, so I have to first take apart the dashboard. To avoid activating the airbag, the Haynes manual recommends removing the fuse, but there doesn’t appear to be a fuse specifically for the airbag. Any advice would be appreciated.

A: pull all fuses20 amps or above :O)

Q: Does anyone have a 1996 Chevy S-10 Pickup?
I have a used S-10 and want to know if the interior lights are supposed to come on when the door is opened?

Q: Do I have to put Dex-cool in a 2000 Chevy S-10, 2.2 ltr , manual trans ?
Getting ready to replace radiator, water pump, Thermosat and hoses. No longer under warranty, do I have to use Dex-Cool or is it ok to switch to a regular extended life antifreeze?

A: No, use the dex cool, (orange) it is made for that specific application, do not change it out or you will have problems with the heads and gaskets. It has dex cool in it for a reason. Never mix the two either.

Q: 2001 chevy blazer S-10, can you install a higher speed rear end in it and get better gas mileage. ?
2001 S-10 chevy blazer, 5 speed, 2 wheel drive. I never use the 1st gear because of the gear ratio is way to low, can I install a high speed rear end and increase my mileage and if so roughly how much increase would be allowed.

A: Potentially you can increase your MPG with a “taller” rear axel ratio.
You could replace a 3.0 gear with a 2.50 gear set. This would mean that, at highway speeds, the engine would be rurning 2500 RPMs instead of 3000 RPMs. This should save fuel.
But if you plan on carrying heavy cargo, this will work against you. The engine would be operating below it’s peak horepower, so the Engine Control Module will widen the fuel injector pulse to try to get some more power at the low RPMs. this uses more gas. If the engine has to lug all the time, this will put additional wear on the engine.
Plus, you will need to spend probably $500 to buy and install the new gears.$500 will buy a lot of gas.

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: Chevy S-10. What is the number, or model of a rear axle? year 2000.?
I have to buy a new axle for my chevy s-10. Does anybody know what is the model, or series number on your own chevy s-10 pick up truck. I have looked and scraped where the number is supposed to be, but is not vissible. There is no plate either. If you have that info or link to look it up, can you share it with me?. I will be very grateful to you guys. Thank you. Mine sweals, and vivrates. The faster the speed the louder the noise. I have lifted the truck and i have noticed that only the driver side wheel has traction. the other comes and goes. I think it needs replacement. Or do you guys think I can get the gears replaced? I think the ratio is 7 3/8, with ten bolts. Has anyone used a different axle in a 2000 chevy s-10?

A: You may want to check this site out

Q: I need to replace the door pins on my ‘98 Chevy S-10. How do I know which size of pin to use?
I went to the local parts store and there were about a dozen or so sizes to choose from from. How do I know which size is the right size for my truck?

A: To my knowledge there is only one size for that vehicle, but the best thing would be to take the old one in for comparison
