sounds like you might have put the fuel filter on backwards.

sounds like either a bad ground to the battery or the positive battery cable to the starter is bad/loose.

I cant help you with a front bumper cover. I know you have been looking for one for a while. I have been hunting for a drivers outer door panel for a 1980 Cameo and havent had any luck either. I have mine ready to paint and this is all that is stopping me. Do you have one for sale? Thanks, Darren

1st, Great site, Loads of info. I am the 3rd owner of a 1999 S10 LS 4x4 Stepside with 4.3Ltr (180k + miles), A/C, Auto and standard cab, Black Pearl Paint ( sharp when cleaned up)/ dark grey interior. Absolutely great running truck with lots of getup and go when needed. The 4 wheel drive is unstopable. Only real complaint (which is €on me) is I hit a pipe gate and creased the hood, cracked the edge of front window and broke the pass mirror. Month after buying, the fuel pump died (130k mi) and coil pack died with no warning, cruising down a winding mountain no traffic luckly (150k mi.). My better half still says its her truck. Love this truck, 5 years ago - best 6k I spent.

Ok, to start I have a 1998 s10 2.2. Awhile back I had to replace a new left front spring ( i blew the original one into 2 peices, no idea how i did that) so i went ahead and replaced both springs and shocks. Well a little while later i started noticing some creaking and small popping noises. There were no noises before i replaced the spring and shock. I can push down on the right front bumper and it makes a large popping sound. It also makes the sound when i let the clutch out and start going at a stop, and when i back up, and over large bumps. Does anyone know the reason for this. I think it may have something to do with me replacing the spring or maybe with me mud riding so much. Any solutions. Thanks!!

I have a 99 S10. Some "fun" problems. Owner induced of course. Stopped at a store and left the radio on for hubby sleeping in truk. Ran the battery down. Pushed started it. Accelerator stuk in high. Drove a mile down the road and turned off truk cause of this. Then couldn't get it started. Jump started it.
  No problems til this winter. Delivering pizza in the ice and no anitfreeze. Not thinkin bout it much. Next morning didn't bump the ignition to move the serpentine belt. Of course it stuck overnight and broke off and made holes in radiator which I didnt see.
  Replaced the belt and drove it a couple 13 miles or so. Each stop and start got more hard starting. Finally went to store and on getting back in truk wouldnt start. Had it jump started to get home.
  Next month, couldn't get it started so replaced the fuel filter. Then found out about the holes in radiator. No water present in oil at that time.
  This week, finally got new radiator. Put it in. Still hard to start but started truk. Added water and coolant. Oh no, it is disappearing! Wouldn't you know it. Water in the oil.
 
                       Blown Head Gasket!
  So now gonna attempt that. Had replaced a wiring harness on a dodge truk once. Worked on other cars thru my life.
