I'd rather have a t-zero. It costs less, gets to 60 mph faster, and has a longer range. Plus buying one will help AC Propulsion get to build Scion xB conversions. Best regards, Arthur At 10:13 AM -0400 9/27/04, Hausman, Steve (NIH/NIAMS) wrote: > >From an article in Car Connec...

I found this old order confirmation from Helm. This might help you get a shop manual. Since it's print-to-order, Helm has it in electronic form and should still be able to supply it. Tom Dowling -----Original Message----- From: [email removed] [mailto:[email removed]] Sent: Fr...

All of the lead-acid S10E trucks originally had Delphi 12V batteries. All of those were changed out to Panasonic 12-volt batteries. The S10E always had 26 12-volt batteries, just like the EV1. On the EV1, the Panasonic batteries were far superior to the Delphi batteries, and t...

Hello, I am sure that others know where to get the manual, too. Helm Inc. sells the manuals for about $150. Delivery takes a week or so, then you would want to get some binders so that the loose leaf isn't flying everywhere. I, too, am seeing signs of a battery weaker than oth...

The S10E never had 8-volt batteries. It always had 26 12-volt batteries, just like the EV1. In most respects, the electronics and drive train of the S10E are almost identical to the EV1. It was the Ranger EV that had the 8-volt batteries. Performance Chevrolet in Sacramento wa...

Hi Tony I am no expert on electric but I have be told from several sources that all it takes is one battery not at full strength. I guess a chain is only as good as its weakest link really applies here. You have to test every battery and it is the first thing you want to have...

Gil, Congratulations! Welcome back to the world of EV drivers! My truck didn't run at all when I first got it, and it took me a few weeks and many dollars to get it running, so you are ahead of the game there. The diesel fuel is for the heater. You have a diesel-fired heater f...
