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)....

Has anyone had any luck getting a Webasto repair manual since the GM manuals don't cover the heater breakdown itself? I emailed the OEM section at Webasto and was told to contact GM. Lynn I believe you had posted before that it was a DW-50 model, is that correct? --- On Fri, 1...

The fuel fired heater does not heat the water in the radiator. There is a separate coolant loop with a separate reservoir for the heater. The FF heater loop's reservoir is a rectangular shaped reservoir on the driver side of the engine compartment about 8 inches behind the rad...
