Replying to: fatman40 (Jul 18, 2005 10:31 am) All right, I answered my own question and fixed it. The problem is the fuel pump. It was nice to have a 4" lift, didn't have to remove the tank.
#899 of 2018 2000 GMC Sonoma 4x4, 4.3 V6, 5-speed manual trans by mkokomo Jul 19, 2005 (12:48 pm)
Truck has approx. 72,000 miles on it. 5-6 months ago started losing power going up hills & after driving for long distance. Doesn't matter if AC is on or not. Pretty much had to floor it to get up to speed on the interstate. Going up hills it's REALLY bad. Replaced spark plugs, air filter, ignition rotor, fuel filter so far. Still does it. Plus when I start it up in 1st & 2nd gears it kinda "chugs" and jerks back & forth like it's about to die. Any ideas on what to do next? Check engine light came on a few days ago, mechanic said it was the Max Air Flow Sensor - what the heck is that and WHERE is that?

Replying to: dgillis001 (Jun 18, 2005 3:53 am) I have a broken tailgate cable on my S-10 2001. I want to know what you have found out about this problem. I am new to this forum and just spotted your message. I am not even yet sure how to follow a thread on your message if there is one. Will I have to replace the whole latch assembly? (For those who don't know, it appears the cable is riveted to the latch assembly, requiring the rivet to be cut--I think, to replace the cable) Can I install cables from an Autoparts store by cutting the rivet off the latch assembly and bolting a new cable on? Is there a recall? Will my dealer fix this as a warranty repair? I would really appreciate your feedback.

#901 of 2018 Engine dieing by jjj4 Jul 20, 2005 (9:14 am)
I have a 1999 Sonoma 3 door stepside with a 2.2L,auto, and 75,000 miles. I`ve never had any problems with this truck untill last week. I was at a stop light with the AC on, and when I pressed on the accelerator to go the engine lost power and quit running. After comeing to a stop the engine started right up and ran just fine. The truck ran fine, and I thought everything was cool----but today I was at the same stop light and the same thing happend again but the AC was turned off. I dont know whats going on with the truck, but it kind of reminds we of the old vapor lock thing back in the 1950s and 60s. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Replying to: 01ccs10tn (Jul 19, 2005 6:00 pm) Christopher, I have the same problem, just went to a junkyard and got a whole assembly replacement and let me tell you getting that thing out is a bear. It was so bad that I don't even want to attempt to do it on my own vehicle. Have you heard of any recalls or easy way to replace the cable? Drilling out the rivet looks like the easiest thing to do. let me know what you found out. thanks......  rkovach

#904 of 2018 Ringing Sound @ 2500RPMs or so by larryj1 Jul 21, 2005 (10:35 am)
Replying to: iant (Jul 14, 2005 7:18 pm) Hey, got '04 S-10 (crew cab) 4x4, auto, 4.3L, 21,000 miles. This is my 4th S-10 since 1984 (two good ones, one lemon, and this one which jury still out). Anyway getting a continuous ringing sound 2500RPM or so in each gear. Took it in under warranty, test drive and mechanic said probably trany. Appointment and tranny mechanic didn't hear it, second test drive and he heard it, said not trany but part of drive train! Goodwrench doesn't think warrants any further work as there are no bulletins on such a problem. But I'm really concerned I'll breakdown pulling my pop-up camper (about 2000lbs) in next couple weeks somewhere out in the boondocks - where I like to camp with family. So anyone got any similar problems or suggestions???
#905 of 2018 MPG Z-R2 by zr2machine01 Jul 21, 2005 (4:02 pm)
Hey i got a 2001 4WD Chev S-10, Z-R2, great truck 4.3 V6, 46000 miles on it. Runs great and everything, the only thing is i get around 220 miles to a tank. What is anybody else getting, i want to compare numbers with others. Also someone that had a 92 GMC with the 4.3 4WD told me that they started using K&N air filters instead of your standard filter, and they put a flowmaster exhaust system with the medium pipe (thats all you need with the 4.3 V6 anyhow) and it helped with HP and felt quicker of course but said they started getting around 360 miles to a tank! Any Input, or comments about this?   Another thing whenever i fill up, my gauge doesnt read completely full and judging from only 220 miles to a tank its probably about a 15 gallon tank, right? I heard though these trucks have about a 2 gallon reserve tank so i dont know what to think. Would that 2 gallons be the remaining fuel left when your low fuel light comes on?   Please tell me everything you know bout these trucks, any answers to my questions will help   Thanks - Brian Replies to this message: chevy02 (Jul 22, 2005 7:24 am) jae5 (Jul 22, 2005 10:26 am) zr2machine01 (Jul 22, 2005 8:06 pm)

Replying to: magilla (Jan 23, 2001 5:12 pm) I beg to differ and are offended by your comment. My S-10 has been flawless thus far; it was just a problem with that particular truck.
