Actually my door bottom was so far out - I had to have the Dealer buy a new striker plate and I extended the adjustment slots in the latch in my milling machine ... (and I broke two cutters - that latch was really work hardened from the factory bending/processing - well over approx 30+ RC ). That change pulled in the dor and fixed my rattle ... My opening latch has always been a ltttle hard - but never really had a problem so I left well enough alone ...
Glad you fixed the problem ....

this has been a hell of a truck. i have never had trouble with it and would not hesitate to drive it anywhere. it has 238k on it. i bought it with 59k in 1989, with the only major repair being head gaskets at about 85k. still has original clutch, carb, distributor, water pump, and i have worked it hard.
Just bought a 92' Chevy S-10 the other day and have been doing a few repairs here and there, but I have run into a few problems and was hoping maybe you guy might have some ideas! First of all, I hear it is a common problem with the digital dash, but everything but the odometer and speedometer is out. I have no Tachometer, no fuel gauge, nothing for the battery, nothing for the engine or oil...I took the dash display out and checked all the bulbs and they seem to be working just fine, but they have nothing to do with the other displays so I have learned. I checked the fuses, nothing wrong there otherwise the whole display would be out. So I am not sure if it is the display or if it is the engines computer or what? I use to have a problem with a squeeling noise while accelerating and taking the foot off the gas, but I replaced the U-Joints and it was just those. But shifting is a bit rough, and it doesnt want to go into first, second, and reverse too easily. I dont know if that is the clutch or the transmission, cause i push the clutch in all the way and it sometimes grinds going into reverse while the clutch pedal is still down. I dont know much about transmissions yet, so I dont know if it is clutch fluid, the clutch or what? So any help with these problems is greatly appreciated! Thank you all in advance!
Thanks in advance, Rob.

Good Catch - and it sounds like it fixed your problem..
A couple comments if I may ??
As far it it being there since day one ?? If it was as noticeable as you say since day one - I 'd have to say the dealer should have easily caught that with a vacuum gauge which logically they must of tried for an Idle issue ... But, you never know ....
Also, for the original poster / issue - my 2002 does start and idle high for a few minutes AND the clutch in the fan is on as well - so it sounds loud and sound like it is racing much faster than it is ... This is normal .. just for reference ....
Your post was from June-6, did you get this problem fixed?
I am having the exact same problem and was wondering if you have a fix for it yet..
Thank You

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. Thanks jjj4

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

Have installed a K&N air cleaner, helped a little in seat-of-the-pants feel, haven't dynoed the truck so don't know how much gain I've gotten. Have been looking for an exhaust, but many don't have an application for my vehicle due to the lowered suspension and rear sway bar.
thanks,
Brian
I now know why their is a trip meter on the trucks. I fill up every 400 miles on 19 gal tank Does anyone know why it does that and how to repair it.
I have 1999 chevy silverado with the same problem , manual brakes work well but the abs system stop working long ago. don't know what causes this. just waiting on someone on the web to come up with a solution. if i find out anything i will post it here.
thanks
