I'm am looking into POSSIBLY trading in my 1999 4 Door Blazer for a 2000 Extended Cab S-10 Pickup.

 

Anybody have any info on 2000 S-10's?  Likes, dislikes, problems, anything.

 

I took it for a test drive today, it was nice.  I'm going to have my dad go look at it early next week.  Any input at all would be appreciated.

 

Thanks alot.

What's the details on it Bill?  (2WD/4WD, color, etc.)

 

Oh yeah, have those oil lines checked out.  The ones you have a problem with on the Blazer.  (If the trucks are the same as the Blazers.)

4WD

Red Extended Cab

16,701 miles

Factory warranty is good until April 11 next year.

 

But it's not looking good right now that I'm going to get a deal worked out.  I'm not sure I can get enough out of my Blazer, and if I put it up for sale, by the time I sold it the truck would probably be gone, and I doubt I'd find another one for this price with this low of mileage.

 

But I'm going to keep trying for a few more days and see what I can get figured out.

Does anyone know if the 2000 S-10 and the 1999 Blazer use the same oil lines?

 

I've had problems with the pressurized lines going to the filter on my Bvlazer and I would like to know if I need to worry about this with the 2000 S-10.

 

Any other problems or info. would be appreciated.  Thanks.

If the filter assembly on your Blazer is relocated in any fashion then I can almost promise you it uses the same remote relocator and lines that the 4wd you are looking at does.

 

I'll do a little checking for you and see what I can come up with but I'm pretty sure they are the same.

I had a 2wd ext. cab and thought it was good overall.  The only thing that bothered me was the poor hinges on the doors. I had the 3rd door fixed twice and the passenger door hinges replaced once.  One of our clients has a large number of S-10's and they have the same complaint on the doors.

Well, I'm keeping the Blazer.  I've had enough of this dealer.  There were a few small things wrong with the truck that were really not a big deal at all, but they tried to lie around them and I caught them up it the lies.  And I've been there four business days in a row to see the guy who will decide what they can give me out of the Blazer (the fourth day was today and I had an appointment).  I've yet to see the guy.  I told them they obviously don't want my money, and I don't really need their truck, so I won't be back.

 

I was just trying to work something with the same or lower payemnts and get a newer truck, so I have the luxury of not worrying about it.  With the few worries I had about the truck having some of the same problems my Blazer has had, and the "I could Care less" attitude of the dealers I said screw it.  The Blazer will be fine.  As a matter of fact Tom and I our going to do a little work to it in July to make it last a little longer, and I'll be driving for a while.

 

Thanks alot to everyone who helped me out with all the info.

      My brother has an Escalade. The warranty has expired so he told his wife to go to the Valvoline quick lube he uses some times. They told her if her car was a 2020 and newer 6.2 engine they wouldn’t touch it. Hers is a 2019, so they did the oil change.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      The oil filter has NOTHING To do with oil leak. GM sources parts from 1,000's of vendors and as with anything mass produced, flaws are unavoidable.    Putting a larger oil filter will do nothing but satisfy emotions. The OEM filter is designed for the engine and perfectly capable of handling the demands on the engine. Oversize oil filter could result in reduced flow and overall lower oil pressure.

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
