Hi Kevin and all, There is definately a separate set of shop manuals unique to the S-10E. It is too bad that it is difficult for the Helm sales people to find. I can't find the receipt from the manuals I ordered but each manual has its own part number. They are as follows: GME...

A further comment on large-paddle inductive charger (LPI) deployment.... While redeploying LPIs to serve the specific needs (at home and work) of the very few S10E and other vehicle owners who can use them makes some sense, it doesn't make sense to mount a major effort to depl...

Hello; I tried to call Helm. I talked to probably the same lady. She said they had the shop manual that covered the 1997 S-10, the Blazer, the S-15 and maybe a couple of others. I asked several times for the S-10 Electric or the S-10E. She did not understand. I think she thoug...

Hi Sherry, I just got a set of the GM factory service manuals for our 1998 S-10 Electric. The company who made the manuals for GM is HELM. ( www.helminc.com ) I would assume since they still have 1998 service manuals that they would for the '97 models as well. You can also ord...
