Oh yeah, one more thing, It's not happening now but for awhile, My RPM would stay quite high, about 2,000-3,000 and would not drop even in idle, my car would Jerk violently as if I was downshifting and flooring it when really, all I'm doing is cruising. I heard something that sounds like a fuel pump problem like it wasn't able to pump because there was something jammed in the fuel line. Any Ideas on this too?
I also noticed a small transmission leak after I park I have checked the fluid it says its fine , I was told by a friend that that year blazer had a problem with a leaky transmission pan gasket,one other thing my shift indicator seems to be slightly off i really like the truck and I am hoping you guys can offer some help and advice.
thanx
this site rocks
I purchased this beauty in 2004 and have used it mostly on stop and go traffic on I-5 in the Portland area to go to work and for driving up to Seattle a mear 3 times!
As I mentioned I have a 6 month old and even though I can turn off the side airbag I'm looking at selling my trusty truck in order to afford a more fuel efficient and family friendly vehicle before the summer fuel prices kick in .
If your interested in pictures and other information just send me an email. Of course it may take a day or two to respond with my hands full w/ the new son!!
Thanks!

i am an 18 year old male from louisiana. i bought my S-10 2nd hand. its a 2002 ZR2 you know the specs. so im not going into all that. i bought this truck to go to school and maybe my camp in, mainly because it is a lot better on gas than my 1975 ford bronc which gets all of 11 mpg. anyway im on a swimming scholarship hence flipper. the forum has been a majo help so far thanks a ton.

I had the '99 Sonoma offered to me for very good price, $2500. I decided to get it for my 14 year old. I'll use it in the mean time but 3 things have changed since I got it. My older son has started to drive it instead of his Mustang. To my suprise the Sonoma got 26 mpg on the trip back to midwest from Fla, where I got it.
The 3rd thing is I fixed the a/c by just charging it.
Then it continued to suprise by getting 25 mpg in local driving. It is my 3rd GM with a 4.3L V6, but the other ones get 22 and 23 on trips and high teens local. My friend with a 2000 Grand Am 4 cyl gets the same 26 mpg hwy as the Sonoma.
I have 184k miles on the oldest of my 3 4.3L GM's. It is next in line to get rid of but I have not had to do much to it. I expect to get a relatively trouble free next 100,000 miles from the Sonoma.
The Sonoma, being from S. fla has not been in salt and was undercoated when new. The undercarriage is nearly rust free. I have gone through it and fixed a few things in it (like charging the a/c and new front brake pads), and the only 2 things left are the alignment and the instrument backlighting.
I'm looking for a 1991 Cameo S-10 front bumper cover with round fog lamps. My landlord sent a couple yahoos over to the house to clean up the property some and they accidentally threw mine away. (It was sitting on top of two trash cans after getting a small crack repaired.) Doh!
Anyway Here's a link to a page I whipped up with pictures of each year they were produced.

I also noticed that this truck doesn't have it's own area here.....mods?
They're getting rare and are as old as the internet.
Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have one or know where to get one..

The vehicle is very well equiped with trailer towing package. Does anybody know how to find out if it is equipped with positraction or traction lock on the rear end. It seems to go through the snow without any drama.
It does also have the very unreliable gas gauge often cited as a problem.
it shows 80 plus when running and about 40 when its off, never owned sonoma
before and this one was messed up when I bought it so don't know what to try.
WORK FINE, NOW I HAVE REPLACED WITH NEW SENDING UNIT AND IT
ALSO READS AROUND 60 LBS EVERYTHINGS GOOD,
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.
