Hi Don, Could you tell us more about the type of problem you're having? What are the symptoms? Have you used the GM Scan Tool for diagnosis? Which version of the S10 do you have? Where are you located? Any luck with the hoist search? casey

Hello Casey As far as I know the 1997 and 1998 S-10 EV would be the same except it only has a drivers side airbag and no stock CD player. So either year should give you an idea of what an S-10 EV would be like. I highly recommend the S-10 EV it is a great vehicle. The 1998 wit...

In the 1998 S10E, the high voltage disconnect is located at the top of the engine compartment far to the driver's side of the vehicle, about 3-6 inches from the firewall. It is mostly plastic, about two finger width's wide and about 4 finger width's long.. The body is a lighte...

IIRC, battery disconnect in the factory S10E is achieved by pulling a fuse under the hood, very near the center of the firewall, and very close to the firewall. Tom Dowling _____ From: [email removed] [mailto:[email removed]] On Behalf Of Gil Dawson Sent: Saturday, December 25...

Well said, Don. 300+ volts, maintenance free batteries, and an AC direct drive means performance and range. You can have all of these with a GM S10. EV Bones has several very young S10s, some with NiMH batteries that could yield better than 70 or 80 miles range. These trucks s...

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...

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...
