I'm having a similar problem with my 2001 S-10, except I don't hear it turning over. It just clicks. I haven't had any problems with my truck until about two months ago -- every time it rained particularly hard, the turn signal would short out for a couple of days. By the time I had a chance to take it in to have the wiring checked, it would start working again. ... Read More

I specialize in wiring problems, and the only thing that fits your problem is a loose connecter in the back of your instrument cluster " Gauge Pod". Your transmission shifts gears based on a signal from the "vehicle speed sensor". This sensor is also used to turn the Seedometer. If you have a bad connection to the instrument cluster, or damage to that connection, if will cause your gas gauge not ... Read More

For some reason the Splashes haven't held their value initially. Maybe the Edge model will do better. But it is a stylish truck no doubt about it. I seem to remember the 5-speed automatic coming around maybe in 1999 or 2000, don't think the 98's had them. I agree that a ranger or S-10 can get "lost" among the behemoths, but parking one is definitely a lot easier. My LB F-150 ... Read More
