turn signal/multifunction switch

Written by: carrollsue on Oct 17, 2006 11:48 AM

Intake manifold gasket, low oil pressure

Written by: bigfoot15 on Nov 04, 2005 06:32 PM

Since a mechanic put in a new intake manifold gasket on my 1993 Chevy S-10, 4.3L, vin code Z, when I start the truck in the morning it sounds as if I just changed the oil: it rattles for a few seconds then sounds normal. Any ideas about what could cause this? Thank you! Read More...

Ruined engine after new intake manifold gasket. The Chevy dealer recently replaced the intake manifold gasket in my 1993 S-10, 4.3L V6, engine code Z (that is, not the high output version) because coolant was slowly disappearing (but there was never any water in the oil, nor on the ground). The next morning after I brought it home, when I first started it up, it ... Read More...

I just purchased a 2003 S10 with the ZQ8 sport suspension pkg.(4.3L). I owned a 1993 Sonoma before and it proved to be a great truck. I traded it in on a Camaro (which has and still is a fun and reliable car). I am pretty biased toward Chevrolet, so I really cannot give an objective opinion on your message. However, I also used my GM Card earnings (only $600). You should ... Read More...

Written by: jimihendrix on Jul 03, 2000 05:13 PM

I'm looking at an 1993 Chevy S10 long bed pick-up with a 6cyl. 4.3L engine and 77,000 miles. The asking price is $2800 which seems kind of low. Reading some of the posts leads me to believe that there are some problems with the fuel system on these trucks. Anyone have any advice on this particular truck, thanks. Read More...
