#1 of 28 Instrument Panel Replacement by passenger1 Jan 15, 2007 (3:34 pm)
I have a Canadian bought 2000 S-10 that I'm trying to sell in California. Is it possible, or advisable, to replace the instrument panel so it primarily reads in miles rather than kilometers? Replies to this message: kcram (Jan 21, 2007 7:41 pm)

Replying to: passenger1 (Jan 15, 2007 3:34 pm) Strictly an opinion, but I would say no. Because it's a Canadian-spec vehicle, changing the gauge cluster will immediately make the vehicle "TMO" - True Mileage Unknown. This voids all warranties that may still be in effect, and makes it very difficult to sell.   kcram - Pickups Host
#4 of 28 Chevy S-10 - Ignition Key Lock by spooler May 30, 2007 (11:15 am)
#5 of 28 Ignition key lock problem 92 s-10 by spooler Apr 29, 2007 (6:13 pm)
Ive got a problem with my ignition keys or lock. It seems that lately no matter which key I put into the ignition switch, I have great difficulty getting it out of "lock" posistion. If I jiggle the keys around enough,and the steering wheel for 5 to 10 mins, the ignition switch will eventually go from "lock" to the "off" position and then it's no problem getting the keys to turn to "start". It used to be I had one key (an orignal) that had never given me problems, but it's prbably getting worn out. The other two were duplicates made by the orinigal owner and would work with again losts of shaking (and cursing). My question is, do I need a new lock cylinder? Or should I just call a Chevy dealer with the VIN number and just try a new set of factory keys? The key knock-outs were lost by the original owner.

Replying to: spooler (Apr 29, 2007 6:13 pm) wow, i had this exact same problem, i would mess around with the wheel and jiggle it for a half hour, and now i can get it within 30 seconds, try this:   Put your key in normal smack key with fist to get it in farther turn key   works for me every time, changing a key cylinder is a pain in the ass, cheap parts though, so either way its not a big problem if you know what you are doing and have the right tools.

Replying to: spooler (Apr 29, 2007 6:13 pm) I have the same problem with my 92 S-10. When my keys get that way I get new ones made and they work better. They still have their moments but they do work better. Replies to this message: argochevenator (Oct 21, 2007 8:12 pm)
#8 of 28 We've got ignition! by spooler May 01, 2007 (2:34 pm)
Thanks for your replys! I finally did what hoodlatch suggests and went down to the Chevy dealer to have a new ignition key made. In order to do that they needed to see proof of ownership of the vehicle,VIN# and a photo-ID. The parts guy cut a new key, and now it works like a charm! I only had them do one since I thought it could be a lock cylinder issue. Didn't have the truck with me at the time to try it. But since this one works so well, I'll have them cut me another. The cost per key $9.15. Evidentally according to the parts guy, it happens a lot. The keys just get worn out. Sometimes though the cylinders are shot.

1997 Cheb c/k Pick-up: Drove over curve with rt front wheel. Parked truck. Woulld not shift into park. Could not get key out of lock. Pushed hard and able to put shift into park. Cannot get key out. Otherwise, shift and drives normal. Does this chain of events suggest something new? Please advise. Replies to this message: argochevenator (Oct 21, 2007 8:09 pm) philscbx (Nov 12, 2007 11:39 pm)
#10 of 28 Ignition key lock solution by ftorres00 May 17, 2007 (4:04 pm)
Your problem is the ignition switch solenoid, it is attachd to the ignition switch with only one screw and one tiny electrical connector, it is dealer part but not expensive, you can replace it or just remove it, it is a safety lock so you can start or turn off you car only in the park position. Good luck!! Replies to this message: hoodlatch (Jan 27, 2008 5:55 am)
