Usually, when you buy a part from GM, GM wants the old one back. For some reason I cannot recall now, this one did not go back. The Power Steering Control Module in my S-10E went out years ago, I paid for a replacement, and the replacement failed within the warranty period. Th...

If they could be obtained that inexpensively, you can be sure that insiders and mechanics will snap up any good vehicles and simply throw in new i.c.e. motors for resale, but the gov. tracks the titles on each 'clunker', so it would be hard to title it...at least that is my op...

They are not incorrectly labeled. Your truck is native NiMH, the sensor map you're referencing is PbA. The battery # assignment map is entirely different between PbA and NiMH. As your pack is NiMH, the sensor location assignment is 18,19,15,1,4,5 On Jul 11, 2009, at 9:02 PM, M...

Mostly just 26 voltages, 6 temperatures, airflow, and airflow temp. Basically, anything you can read from the Tech2. To be precise, the pack isn't sending the data; the truck is polling it. I fairly extensively reverse engineered most of the Tech2 protocol from Jan-Apr of this...
