#1969 of 2018 Re: Transmission/rear end Whining [herronthree] by canufixit Sep 17, 2006 (12:34 pm)
Replying to: herronthree (Sep 07, 2006 4:07 pm) Check for some past posts of mine on this suject ... In Summary - if it is your rear end;   Most all Rear ends whine, the preload (shims) in the pinion grar to the ring gear cause a lot of this issue. If they are not properly "pre loaded" at the factory the whine will get worse as the mileage goes up. This can be fixed by a tech (re set / add/remove shims). Also - per the GM S10 manual - this truck has a sweet spot at about 35 to 45 mph - that's when it's the worse ..   You will not hear this when it coasts ... Also as there is little insulation (Noise insulation) in these trucks - the road noise, tranny and rear end noise are a lot more noticable in the cab. If it's real bad, and getting worse - I'd get it checked ...

Replying to: canufixit (Sep 17, 2006 12:22 pm) Thank you for the information. This is a very low usage vehicle (less than 40 miles per month). Its only used if something won't fit into the car or if the car is in for service. The switch position most likely has not been changed since last winter so there is a good chance the diverter is stuck. If that doesn't work, I'll try Alldata. Thanks again, Bud

Replying to: canufixit (Sep 17, 2006 12:26 pm) Actually they addressed that in the letter they sent me. They also included a reimbursement form for which those who had already paid to have them replaced could be reimbursed. It didn't specify if you replaced them yourself or had a dealer or independent shop do it. It just simply said "paid to have them replaced". I would assume then that means you would be able to be reimbursed even though you did the work yourself and used after market parts. I have that form and since I do not need it can offer to send it to you to fill out and send it?? Or they printed a phone # on the bottom of the form -- am I allowed to post it here??

Replying to: canufixit (Sep 17, 2006 12:22 pm) I did what canufixit suggested and it seems to have fixed the problem... I cycled through all the climate control settings and now it seems to be fine.

Replying to: canufixit (Sep 19, 2006 10:50 am) I sent you a scanned copy of the form... I don't know how GM would respond to a copy, but if your vehicle falls under the recall criteria then I don't see why it a copy versus original would really matter??

Replying to: canufixit (Sep 17, 2006 12:22 pm) My problem was caused by rotting vacuum lines. Got my son to replace them and now everything working fine. Thanks again to canufixit. Bud Replies to this message: canufixit (Sep 26, 2006 6:08 am)
#1976 of 2018 Re: 95 S-10 4cyl 5spd (no air from main vents) [boyce] by canufixit Sep 26, 2006 (6:08 am)
Replying to: boyce (Sep 24, 2006 2:54 pm) Thanks for the Fix Comment/reply. I should have mentioned that possibility- my fault. Although the engine vacuum pulls the air from the hoses - when the engine is shut down the fumes from the engine can travel up the lines (if there is no check valve - or if it's stuck open) and the fumes can then rot the lines.   Also the hoses just "age" and the ends crack - causing leaks (and rough engine idle/performance). I had a car back in the late seventies? that had a recall to add a check valve in the brake vacuum line - the fumes were rotting the brake booster diaphram.   Congrats - sometimes we get lucky and it's an easy fix !!!   Canufixit

#1978 of 2018 S-10 engine has trouble catching on cold start by jmorin007 Sep 26, 2006 (8:26 am)
I have a 1999 Chevy S-10 pickup. In the past three months it has started having problems with the engine catching while cranking from a cold start. The problem has continued to grow worse as time goes on. I can hear the engine cranking and am able to get the engine to start every time, but it takes longer and longer each time to get it to catch. Once the engine is started, and I drive it a bit, I am able to restart without any problem, but initially in the morning it has trouble catching. I park it outside, but the temperature never gets below 50 or above 85, although the air is usual damp.   Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.
