Hello Kevin I have the remaining stock of capacitors. You need four and they are 75 dollars each plus shipping which should not be very much. As far as GM trained techs for the S-10 no idea where you would find one of them. If your very careful to note how you disassemble the...

Below is a past post by Jeff from over three years ago. I believe if you asked Jeff today he would highly recommend replacing them. I would compare this to like driving without insurance. You never now how long you can do it or what will the damages be if something does happen...

Hello Michael I receive the list in digest. I have not seen any replies so sorry if someone has already addressed this. You should check your fuse and I would bet money you need a new fan motor. If your lucky you already have Jeff/s better fan buffer. I believe the majority of...

Hi, everybody. My 1998 S10E is now charging and running, after replacment of the auxillary battery. The old battery was two years old, and its voltage, while still sufficent to power the instruments and radio, had apparently declined too far for charging. I am deeply grateful...

It went under the hood where the stock GM inverter mounted, that is why the radiator expansion tank had to be relocated. The AC-150 is bigger than the GM inverter because it is air cooled and has an air plenum under the inverter to cool the phase modules. The AC-150 has been r...

To me, the outside photo of the "fuel" door itself looks factory-made, but I'd bet that it was transplanted from another vehicle by someone after the truck left the factory. I doubt that GM would have passed high voltage wiring into the bed of a pickup. From the photos, I also...
