A quick telephone call to the manufacturer disclosed that their product probably *will not* work with the S-10EV. But you're welcome to buy it, and try it, and possibly eat it. Not likely they'll accept a return. That's why they want you to check the compatibility list first....

Have any of you tried one of these CarChips with an S10EV? Seems like it would be a fun toy for logging EV trips & performance. The acceleration thresholds audible alarms could be helpful in preventing lead-footing and keeping the efficiency/range high. http://www.davisnet.com...

You can purchase Prestone DexCool (in the silver gallon jug) at most any auto supply. The non silicated DexCool is identified by an orange dye color. Check the operation of your coolant pump. If it's original, it's probably bad. Look for a strong stream entering the reservoir...
