[S10-EV] Fuel Fired Heater Questions
Hi Michael, I no longer have my truck but did use ( and work on) the diesel heater when the truck was here in Colorado. Your fuel usage seems about right, I also had an hour long commute and filled up about every 3 weeks. I do recommend using kerosene (no 1 diesel) when it get...

[S10-EV] Fuel Fired Heater Questions
Hi Michael, I live in Salem, Oregon where it can get cold for most of the winter. I have had trouble with filling the tank like you describe. I tried to troubleshoot the problem and found there is a mechanism in the throat of the filler tube that has a little ball like a ping...
[S10-EV] Fuel Fired Heater Questions
I'm a new owner too, however, I would guess you have a problem in your fill pipe. I have actually never filled mine at a gas station. I filled a 5 gallon Diesel container and use that to fill at my home. I converted the bed of the truck to tilt and had to re-locate the fill pi...
[S10-EV] Fuel Fired Heater Questions
Hello, I imagine that most S10Es don't see a lot of very cold weather or burn much diesel/kerosene, but since I live in New York, my truck has definitely been burning some kerosene lately. This will be my first winter since purchasing the truck, and I have a few questions for...
[S10-EV] SOC
Merry Christmas to all! I'm re-posting to see if anyone knows what may be wrong. (no replies on my first post). But let me ask another question too. If you connected a charger directly to your pack, before the contactors, along with a generator in the back of the truck to run...
[S10-EV] My turn! :) Truck only charges to 81% then E2 on charger and Service Now/DTC on truck
I've reset the SOC two more times, and now all 4 times the truck soon stops charging w/ E2. The Tech2 has the following two BPCM DTCs: - 0064 Battery 8 Excessive Voltage Change - 0274 Auto Disconnect Open Battery Control Module Commanded The charge aborting at 81% was a false...
[S10-EV] E2 Error
Hello Niel, First, apologies for not getting back earlier. When I get busy at work, I am not near a computer. The temps when it happened where probably in the 40's. This summer we were having charging issues in warmer temps but that was only with our charger at home e-5. Bill...
[S10-EV] SOC
I'll try to keep this short. 97 VRLA truck. Installed new 75 Ah AGM batteries. I have been driving and discharging to about 50% on the SOC, but the voltages are still high, (330 pack voltage, 12.6 to 12.8 per bat. on the Tech 2). I tried to "Push" the computer to learning my p...
[S10-EV] Kerosene Heater
Thanks, Niel-- I'm delighted to learn from someone with experience in a matter I've merely pondered. This is such a great email list. I can write about my guesses with confidence that someone will let me know when I've guessed wrong. --Gil On Dec 13, 2009, at 11:26 A, Niel Nie...

[S10-EV] S10-EV E-2 Error, Service Now
Hello Niel, The truck is a 1998 native NiMH, from EVBones. Previous to the "service now,e-2" incident a few days ago I always heard the fan when plugging in for a charge. Although it could be an intermittent or recent problem, I will double check it tomorrow morning. Do you kn...
[S10-EV] Blowing battery pack fan motor fuse
Hi Alex, I don't know about any other conversations, but I recently had issues with my battery pack fan motor as well. At first, I noticed that the 3-pin connector at the motor was getting warm, and the pins were oxidized. I cut out the connector and hard-wired the motor, whic...
[S10-EV] Kerosene Heater
I have been having problems with my kerosene heater for over a year now. Last winter I could not get it to run reliably so I got a new one and put it in. It worked fine for about a month and then would not heat the cab. It has power, it gets kerosene, it goes through three or...

[S10-EV] Will NiMH batteries freeze
Hi Michael, My NiMH truck has experienced at least a couple of New York winters. When I purchased the truck in February of 2009, it had been sitting unused (with a dead pack) for several months in the previous owner's unheated garage. I transported the truck to my driveway whe...
[S10-EV] My turn! :) Truck only charges to 81% then E2 on charger and Service Now/DTC on truck
I've had my S10EV for goin' on 3 years now and am relatively familiar w/ its peculiarities, either from direct experience or vicariously from this mailing list. Recently my truck stopped charging to full and the charger E2s and the Service Now light comes on. It stopped at 81%...
[S10-EV] "Service now" light
Hello All, A couple of days ago my wife got an E-2 in the morning, followed by the unfriendly "service now" in the truck. We do not have a tech 2.....yet. I have tried clearing the faults by, the "high voltage and ground disconnect procedure", but I assume I need to clear the...
[S10-EV] Will NiMH batteries freeze
Hi, Michael-- Please let us know if you find out to the contrary, but there's unlikely to be any pure water in the batteries, and any other chemical in liquid form would have a dramatically different freezing point. So no, 32?F would likely not be a temperature at which state...
[S10-EV] Will NiMH batteries freeze
Will discharged Nimh batteries freeze causing damage to the battery? The trucks I'm looking at have to be transported from California to Georgia. I would assume the transport company would take the southern route but if they had to pick up any vehicles up north before heading...
[S10-EV] Cogging
Use the tech 2 to check the motor speed feedback under acceleration and see if the value jumps around, it might take a few tried to see it due to the slow polling rate of the tech 2. If it bounces around look to the motor position sensor. if the truck was throwing up faults I...
[S10-EV] Cogging
It only happens when I'm starting out. Its a little like a clutch vehicle when the clutch is not let out properly, a slight bucking. I don't have any warning lights but I guess I should get it checked with a scan tool. Stephen On Dec 7, 2009, at 6:11 PM, Ryan Dela wrote: > Sou...
[S10-EV] Cogging
Sounds like a loose connection to me. At best the plug might be coming loose or the motor position encoder could be going bad. Worst case an IGBT module in the controller could be going bad, or there is a ground fault. if there is a ground fault the HV contactors should open?...
[S10-EV] pre-nup
The pre-nup is a good idea. I figure since I bought my truck in 2004 I have spent more time under the hood or in the battery pack than behind the wheel. Most of that time was when it was a lead acid truck before it was converted to nimh. This is not to say that you will have t...
[S10-EV] New member greetings and a few questions
I'm close to doing a deal on these trucks but have one last concern. One truck has been down a year and the other for 9 months. What are the opinions on whether the batteries will "wake up"? I don't want a truck that will need new batteries? My fiance would kill me for not buy...

Interesting point about the mileage improvement...I wonder how the mileage would be in a truck without a cover, but with the tailgate folded down or removed? Michael Anzalone ----- Original Message ----- From: kevin gildea To: [email removed] Sent: Friday, December 04, 2009 12...

Groceries do just fine with the half-tonneau, except maybe in a hard rain. An open box of styrofoam peanuts, now, that's another matter. --Gil On Dec 4, 2009, at 9:49 A, [email removed] wrote: > Interesting that the half cover is more efficient - we chose to go > with a full c...
[S10-EV] Convenience Charger
My convenience charger gave up. For about a month it was the only charger I had and I guess I used up the 10 to 15 uses these are apparently good for. Has anyone had good luck with them? After mine quit, I was told they are only for "emergencies". (Well then lets re-name them)...
