Should be 5 quarts including filter for 4.3L.
 
Can verify at parts store or in Chilton service manual.

My check engine light just came on the other day, this is the second time it happened. The first time it took forever to find out what was wrong, but it just ended up being that I had to have the computer reprogrammed. If this is your problem, your truck should still be under warranty.

just a bit of info for all who may have the same problems. Just back from the shop and the hissing sound I was a vacuum leak....part on order, still under warranty.....
 
the other sound...."grinding from behind the dash" at first the shop guys thought it was the tach..after they got the dash appart.......nope......after a few hours and a couple of opinions they tracked it down the PCV valve....never would have guessed! anyway still liking the truck, bit thursty though!

Faint glow in dash? by waterisle
Apr 14, 2005 (5:34 pm)
Sonoma electrical problems:
I just bought a 2002 GMC Sonoma with 50k miles for use in the Virgin Islands.
 
The battery keeps losing charge in 14-18 hours. New Battery did not help. Alternator is good.
No lights are on, but occasionally on very dark night, the lights in bottom of gauges (the park/neutral/drive light) appears to be on very dimly. It looks like a phosphorescence glow, not a real light.
 
Removal of fuse 4 in the cab (the gauge fuse) causes park/drive light and some of the gauges to go out when truck is turned on. However, the faint glow is still visible even when key is removed.
 
Removal of fuse 19 (the radio fuse) causes faint light on park/drive to go out, also the speedometer/odometer, gas, temp gauges also go out
 
Sometimes removal of fuse 19 causes all the gauges to quit working, sometimes not. When 19 is replaced, there is a surge and all gauges peg momentarily. Both fuse 19 and fuse 4 have to be removed to shut off the gauges.
 
Any ideas how this is possible?

91 s-10 pickup clutch problems by chuck46
Apr 16, 2005 (6:42 am)
I have a rattleing noise when I dowshift or accelerate the engine, I think it is the clutch bearings or something of the sort, Is it very hard to rebuild a clutch or should I take it to the garage? I do all of the engine work on my cars , but dont mess with transmission and never rebuilt a clutch.

Airman,
Im kinda having the same problem with my truck.I was hoping that you could let me know how to reset the computer.My security light stays on all the time and I think that the security system is telling my computer to stop my injectors from working.The truck will start and run for maybe a second and then dies.I have to turn the key back,wait a few seconds and start the truck again inorder for it to start again.SOMBODY PLEASE POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION!

95 S-10 having troubles getting it started by joel36
Apr 17, 2005 (4:04 pm)
I turn the key until the dash lights "should" light up, but they don't.If i keep turning the key the truck will turn over but won't start until the dash lights are on.I sometimes have to wait about 5-10 minutes with the key tuned until the dash lights finally come on.I don't know much about trucks, but i'm hoping someone can help.

Re: fuel gauge stuck [97s10ss] by dtl379

you may have a faulty sending unit. I have read online of a few trucks with this issue. Mine has a faulty sending unit, and has for years. Just for note, if you have the 4.3 X, 262, SCPI, with a 15.8 gallon tank, you can get just over 300 miles to the tank. Keep that in mind. GOOD LUCK!!!

Just when I take off from a dead stop. Seems to be coming from center of driveshaft suspect carrier bearing starting to go or maybe something in the CV-joint.
