Lynn, Thank you very much! Knowing that you don't own your S10E anymore, and that you're still here to help, says a lot about you. I am fortunate to have a large, well lighted, heated, 2 car garage, and an Air / Hydraulic bumper lift that will raise my truck 24" off the floor....

Kevin and all, I think the GM manual starts by saying "pull the motor" which is the hard way. The easy way is to approach it from underneath the truck (a pit would be ideal, but I have done it with the truck sitting on the ground- raising the truck even 2 inches helps a lot)....

HI Don, It is Sunday evening. I spent several hours on my computer trying to track down if some Cadillacs used the same heater blower fan motor as out S-10 Evs. I think they did. The back of my fan motor has the part number 52475900. When I googled this, I got connected to a w...

I have opened up the box the heater comes in. Looking at the manual you were able to find it appears you have found a different heater. You have found the specs for a Thermotop S and the S-10 heater is also marked Thermotop S but they look different. The tag on the heater in G...

Happy New Year!!! I had the Tech 2 on it last night on a 15 mile trip. The heater will fire up when commanded by the scanner, and it fires up when you first turn it on. It just won't continue to run. I've read everything I could find in the archives and thought my Ambient Temp...

Hello Niel, The truck is a 1998 native NiMH, from EVBones. Previous to the "service now,e-2" incident a few days ago I always heard the fan when plugging in for a charge. Although it could be an intermittent or recent problem, I will double check it tomorrow morning. Do you kn...

I have been having problems with my kerosene heater for over a year now. Last winter I could not get it to run reliably so I got a new one and put it in. It worked fine for about a month and then would not heat the cab. It has power, it gets kerosene, it goes through three or...

Use the tech 2 to check the motor speed feedback under acceleration and see if the value jumps around, it might take a few tried to see it due to the slow polling rate of the tech 2. If it bounces around look to the motor position sensor. if the truck was throwing up faults I...

They go on the regular tailgate cable connector and fasten on the same way the tailgate does. They are to prevent the half cover from flying off should it somehow detach. An interesting point to the half-covers is that they actually reduce drag/improve mileage more than a full...

Just to clarify... It's an outside temperature of 40 degrees or less that engages the diesel heater and turns off the heat pump. One may assume you're talking about where you set the "Thermostat" on your temp control. All of this is also covered in your owner's manual. Kevin M...
