I am thinking about selling my S10E and would like to get the list's input on what price it should sell for. This is a 1997 S10E with the EVBones NiMH upgrade. I got the truck in March 2006 with 12600 miles on the truck with the recently installed NiMH pack. The truck now has...

Pat, This is a NiMH vehicle, right? If the vehicle sits for a long period without charging, the SOC gauge will be signifcantly incorrect. (due to the self discharge of the batteries) The batteries will be significantly lower in charge than the SOC gauge says after weeks of not...

Paul, Sorry to hear about your failed pack fan. The original design of these fans is a troublesome item, not only in S10-EV's but in the vehicle they were originally designed for. The part's primary use is in '94-02 Cadillac, for the cabin blower motor. When mine failed I cont...

Mr.Ashbrook, It's hard to believe what Bob Lutz said about the EV1. I drove one for six years. I'm not a "Hollywood Type" and I paid far more for the EV1 than any other car I've ever had. GM NEVER offered the EV1 for sale to me and I got my EV1 in the first six months they wer...

Hello Niel I was surprised to find out ATF has been used in some manual transmissions including this one. I have not owned a newer vehicle with a manual so this is very interesting. At least I gave the right advise on the main question. To buy a used transmission from a lower...

I had an NiMH '98 truck (and a couple of EV1s), and the explanation we were given at the time was that the truck had the same motor as the coupe, electronically de-tuned from 100Kw to 85Kw to extend the range. Even allowing for the truck's additional weight and poorer aerodyna...

Pat, I'm not sure myself but if some of the trucks have the 100kW motor and some don't there could be some reasons for it. It could either be that the truck went through EVBones, and got a horsepower upgrade or it could be the differences in the two model years the truck was i...

The exhibit is absolutely shameless hype, spin, and mis-information. I'm surprised that the Disney people let them get away with this. Disney must be desperate for exhibitors.
