2000 Chevrolet T10 problems

chevrolet logo

The Chevrolet S-10 is a compact pickup truck produced by Chevrolet. It was the first domestically-built compact pickup of the big three American automakers. When it was first introduced as a "quarter-ton pickup" in 1981 for the 1982 model year, the GMC version was known as the S-15 and later renamed the GMC Sonoma. A high-performance version of the latter was released in 1991, called "Syclone." The pickup was also sold by Isuzu as the Hombre from 1996 through 2000, but only in North America. There was also an SUV version, the Chevrolet S-10 Blazer/GMC S-15 Jimmy. An electric version was leased as a fleet vehicle in 1997 and 1998. These models are sometimes internally referred to as the S/T series to denote two and four wheel drive models respectively (similar to the full size Chevrolet C/K trucks) despite all versions being badged with 'S' nomenclature.

In North America, the S-series was replaced by the Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon, and Isuzu i-Series in 2004.

The S-Series ended production in Brazil in 2012, being replaced by the Chevrolet Colorado, but still with the name S-10.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2000-01-08
  • VIN: 1GCCT19W1Y8
  • Components: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
  • Summary: 2000 S10 4WD ZR2. YESTERDAY I DECIDED TO CHECK WHAT I HAD THOUGH TO BE A LEAKING OIL FILTER. TO MY SURPRISE MY OIL FILTER WAS TIGHT BUT I HAD OIL ALL OVER THE TOP OF MY SKID PLATE (ZR2 S10), THE BLOCK AND MY OIL LINES. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THAT LEAKING OIL LINES ON THE REMOTE FILTER IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON FOUR WHEEL DRIVE S-10'S. I ALSO LEARNED THAT I WAS ONE OF THE LUCKY ONES THAT DID NOT HAVE THESE LINES COME LOSE AND DESTROY THE ENGINE. I ALSO LEARNED ABOUT REDESIGNED OIL LINES THAT GM CAME UP WITH. THIS MEANS THAT GM KNEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM SO WHY DID THIS QUALIFY AS A RECALL? THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM COULD BE VERY EASILY OVER LOOKED ON THE ZR2'S BECAUSE OF THE SKID PLATES. I WISH CHEVY, GM, OR EVEN THE DEALER THAT I PURCHASED IT FROM WOULD HAVE TOLD ME ABOUT THIS WHEN I BOUGHT THE TRUCK.*AK
