Well this brings up a good question. I bought two PIM's many years ago when the list price I think was around 3300. If I recall correctly they came in from GM being called remanufactured. Cost was around 2200 each. I believe this is the most complex and game over part on the S...

The part I'm referring to is a vertically mounted circuit board right in the middle of the case along the back wall. When I say the capacitors are fine I mean they are not blown apart like the ones Jeff Thomas posted pics of a few years back. I thought I remember the blue caps...

I have a 1997 with NiMH batteries. I drive about 35 miles 3 to 5 days a week to work and back, depending on how warm it is. I charge at a public charging station near my office (Mountain View California City Hall) as I can't quite make the r/t without recharging. The odometer...

I had searched around about 9 months ago since many manufacturers now are making fuel efficient tires. The problem I came across is almost none of them are sized to fit the S-10, Ranger or RAV4. The best rated tire at the time was by Michelin. A couple of notches below the Mic...

Good and interesting question, Don. I converted my '98 to Panasonic EV-95 NiMHs out of a Rav4-ev about 3 or 4 years ago. I added two over temp cut-offs, six additional temp sensors and one pressure sensor to the pack at that time. Had to leave it on the OEM 1260U PbA programin...

Robert-- I have not read any previous post you might have written on this topic, but I'm assuming that the blower motor inside the battery box isn't running, or is not running fast enough. If so, and, before you buy a new blower motor, you might wish to first review an experie...

Hi Scott, I had a problem with my paddle switch too, but mine would not come on. So you could drive away with the paddle plugged in. I never missed that light because it is not part of the "Bulb Check" on start-up. So if your paddle is not plugged in when you start up, you'll...
