Hello Casey I have a 1997 S-10 with Panasonic batteries and my problem now is batteries. I just bought a Tech 2 and have learned just enough to take readings of the batteries. I am in Portland Oregon and as far as I know there is no support in the state or even another factory...

A request to all: I have recently purchased a 1997 S10 EV Lead acid pick-up truck and I am looking for a service manual for the 1997 truck. I understand that the service manual for the 1998 S10 is still in stock but I am not sure if there is a difference in the manuals. If any...

Hello Casey As far as I know the 1997 and 1998 S-10 EV would be the same except it only has a drivers side airbag and no stock CD player. So either year should give you an idea of what an S-10 EV would be like. I highly recommend the S-10 EV it is a great vehicle. The 1998 wit...

In the 1998 S10E, the high voltage disconnect is located at the top of the engine compartment far to the driver's side of the vehicle, about 3-6 inches from the firewall. It is mostly plastic, about two finger width's wide and about 4 finger width's long.. The body is a lighte...

IIRC, battery disconnect in the factory S10E is achieved by pulling a fuse under the hood, very near the center of the firewall, and very close to the firewall. Tom Dowling _____ From: [email removed] [mailto:[email removed]] On Behalf Of Gil Dawson Sent: Saturday, December 25...

Well said, Don. 300+ volts, maintenance free batteries, and an AC direct drive means performance and range. You can have all of these with a GM S10. EV Bones has several very young S10s, some with NiMH batteries that could yield better than 70 or 80 miles range. These trucks s...
