Greg, Thank you a lot for spending time on my behalf looking for this part. That's very nice of you. I got the reply back from B&B tool this morning, and they said they made some of the parts for the vehicle, but not the part I'm looking for. He said they were involved with th...

Hello Niel I have been in the collision industry for 34 years. Jeff is correct the suppliers are under contract to GM and the agreement is they will not make this part for anyone else. I would still give it a try though to contact B & B. You have nothing to lose inquiring them...

Niel, as I provided in an email to you some months ago, I suspect the company who molded this part is: B & B tool 624 S Jefferson St. Muncie, IN 47305 GM would certainly own the tooling for this item, B&B are just the folks who ran the production cycle. Even if they are confir...

According to the S10EV's wikipedia page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S10ev) The 1998 ICE S10 body was redesigned but the EV model stayed the same as the the '94-'97 years. Other than some aerodynamic tweaks (closed grille, front air skirt, belly pan, seal between the cab and...

My truck is finally in the body shop being worked on, and I'm learning some interesting things about this '98 vehicle. For instance, GM parts lists for this '98 VIN number calls out '98 fenders, bumpers, and so on, but if you order these parts, a lot of them won't fit. It turn...

One good thing about receiving the S10 in Digest. Any questions are usually answered in the same digest before you respond. This S-10 list is very efficient. This question about the NiMH and how much are you really losing with their efficiency could and should be looked at in...

I have a set of '98 s10e manuals, book 1 & 2, that are the GM reprints in black & white. Two questions: 1) The manuals refer to a third book? What am I missing and does anyone have one they are willing to kinkos copy for me at my cost? 2) The GM folks note that the B&W reprint...

That is the question. If NiMH is lighter, why is it that the datasheets show that it takes *more* Wh per mile for the NiMH truck than the PbA truck? On 2/25/08, Stephen Weitz <[email removed]> wrote: > > the NMH chemistry holds more power and is lighter than the lead acid so >...

Scott, I charge in the early morning when it is colder so the air conditioning does not come on. That saves a lot of power. I also never charge right after driving, that always brings on the AC. Stephen On Feb 26, 2008, at 8:03 AM, Jeff Thomas wrote: > Hello, > Jerry is absolu...

Hello, Jerry is absolutely correct about the load influence during heat pump use. Additionally, NiMH chemistry is less efficient than PbA. Approximately .77 to 1 for Ovonic NiMH, comparing to ordinary PbA at approximately .9 to 1. There are additional weighting factors, includ...

Hi Scott, Jeff Thomas can give the best answer to this question. My guess is that the inefficiency of the NiMH truck is due to the large amount of power used to air condition the batteries. I used to lease one of these NiMH trucks for over a year and unless it was very cold ou...
