Your reply is to a post 5 1/2 years old. I installed an electric fan on my s-10. If you have a/c its a whole different ball game. If you don't wire it correctly you can blow up your compressor.

Belated thanks. After I found and replaced it, I discovered that the problem was my burnt out wires about 4 inches from it that I didn't find until my new VSS wouldn't work. Thanks again

are you still having those noises. i have a 2000 s-10 ext cab 4x4 and it also makes these noises when you start and stop and turn and it seems the warmer it is the more it does it. I also grease the fittings regularly. anyone who has a suggestion would be appreciated.

transmission trouble by marcb2
Oct 14, 2006 (8:10 pm)
I went to drive my 97 s-10 3 weeks ago and backed out of the drive. when i tried to to put it in first gear all that happended was the gears kept grinding, no matter what gear i tried. had it towed and the mechanics said he saw nothing wrong but thought it might be a master slave between the clutch and transmission. so i had that slave and the clutch replaced to the tune of a little over a grand. had it back for 2 weeks and was out on the interstate going 75 mph and all of a sudden it popped out of 5th gear. after a few minutes, i realized all i had was 4th gear. anyone else have similar issues? if so, what was the cause and fix? feel free to e-mail me at marcbuchananyahoo.com

has it ever overheated? you could have a bad head gasket, or warped head. what is your temp running at? a bad head gasket will not make it skip if the water is going into exhaust. does it look like steam coming out of tail pipe?

The only thing I can think is that the trans is actually gone. I speak only because it sounds similar to when the trans on my 95 went out. I had just had the clutch replaced. The shop that used the wrong shift tower gasket and hence all the fluid would leak out through the top of the transmission. They finally figured out the problem, but had to order the new gasket, but they filled the tranny and I went about my way. I was on the freeway going about 75-80 when all of the suddent the truck popped out of 5th gear and I tried all the other gears and I think I was able to manage 2nd, but only long enough to get off the freeway. Once parked I only had reverse, barely, and that allowed me to get it backwards onto a dolly to tow it home, which was a distance of about 80 miles.
 
Anyway, it could be possible that it is the transmission???
