Anyone have a shop manual for an S-10EV? Gil I think what you are describing is the exhaust pipe of the heater for the batteries. It is low there it should have kept it up higher or moved it. I Just looked over the braking system. It does have anti-lock brakes that is run with...

Hi, Jerry-- Manual? There's a manual? I hadn't thought about a manual! Any idea where I can get a copy of a manual? Thanks for explaining why my electric truck has a gas tank. I hope the guys at the DMV buy the story when I go for the HOV sticker. Diesel heater, indeed. What a...

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...

I've had my S-10 EV since Nov. 2001. Exactly as you describe, I've had the same experience at least a dozen times in the 28 to 37 mile range. I've been told that other S-10 EV drivers are getting 50+ miles per charge - and that my battery pack needs work... so Scott @ Performa...

Hi Jerry, I'm driving a PbA truck so this may not apply directly to you. 50 miles for a PbA would be optimistic. I have a panasonic pac with about 18K miles on it and get reliably 40 miles if I'm careful. I've heard ranges for the NiMH of about 55 miles (anyone with NiMH confi...

Howdy, I just took over the lease of Jerry Hudgins' S10 on Sunday night. After driving it home, I started charging it. It started at about 65% and indicated that it would take about 3 and a half hours. Four hours later it was at 96%. It seemed to take another hour for it to cr...

I've decided to sell my 1998 Chevrolet S10E. I've recently acquired a second (damaged) RAV4 EV, so I'm over my limit for EVs. EV1 drive train, front wheel drive. Air conditioning, fuel-fired heater, cruise control, tilt wheel, automatic headlights, daytime running lamps, power...

If you're EV is *really hooked up* (with an ACP drive system), a diagnostic discharge test is as simple as plugging the Tzero into and outlet and telling its charger to make your electric meter *spin backwards*. /wk At 09:40 AM 9/14/02 -0700, Tom Dowling wrote: >The Chevrolet...

The Chevrolet S10E service dealer in Sacramento has a resistor bank that is about the size of a small desk, with wheels, specifically for discharge testing and cycling of S10E battery packs while installed in the truck. It discharges at 25 Amps -- about 8kW. It would make a gr...

Looks like I'll be moving in two or three months to Asheville, where there's no service location within a practical distance, so I'm obliged to find someone to assume my S10E pickup's lease. It's a 1998 model with NiMH batteries, and less than 7000 miles on the odometer. The l...

New Low Price. I love my S-10E Electric Pick-up, but having 3 year old twins makes it impossible for me to drive the girls anywhere, without taking my wife's car, which has been more difficult, due to increasing activities with the girls. So now that the RAV4-EV are available,...
