Lynn, I have done the service so no problems there. There is a biodiesel station on Long Island but it is about a little less than half a charge away. A few questions: 1. Is there any other way besides the Low Heater Fuel light coming on that my fuel is running low? 2. What ar...

Guys, You have it all wrong. Only one person offered the 115V (that's the true voltage of the charger) and he wanted a grand and a half for it. A few others offered help in getting a 220V charger that could be timer programmed to charge and support for me to get my employer to...

Lynn-- Thank you very much for performing this measurement for us. It settles the issue insofar as I'm concerned. (I also like the tonneau to keep groceries from flying out onto the freeway.) Many thanks for your meticulous work. --Gil At 10:06 AM -0600 9/29/06, Adams, Lynn wr...

Hello Lynn Thank you for the Tonneau Cover results. I would like to add one myself but want to keep it as light as possible. I like the idea of a full hard cover but I have not found one that weighs less than about 60 pounds. Here is one called an Undercover that has a lot of...

Summary: A 7% increase in efficiency is seen when using the rear half tonneau cover. I have completed my experiment to see if installing a half tonneau on the rear of the S10E has any significant effect on the efficiency. As most of you know, the S10E originally had a half ton...

The simple answer is GM did not sell the EV1 because it did not want to. GM sold the S-10 with exact same running gear as the EV1. There was less S-10 trucks on the road than the EV1 so the excuse of meeting some Federal law sounds like a ridiculous excuse. GM made a very limi...
