[edit] Sonoma GT
That truck came with a 4.3L naturally aspirated V6 and not a V8. no sonoma/s-10 ever cam with factory v8. end of discussion.
[edit] towing
I have a 2001 S-10. Do I tow a trailer in regular drive or 3?
It's best for the 4L60E transmission, that you tow things in 4th gear. It saves the overdrive from burning out, and you from losing power going up and down hills.
[edit] Info on available styles
I would like to see more info on the available styles (like the LS) and what the differences were.
[edit] Metric system
The early S-10 pickups had a 50L (13.2 gal) fuel tank in accordance with the metric conversion act of 1975. I'm not sure if the 19 Gal tanks were based on metric measurements, 72 L seems like an odd figure. Not to mention the engine displacement is usually annotated in Liters.
[edit] Engine Description
In the first generation section this is stated...
"The Vortec is essentially the standard Z code 262 in³ engine. The difference is the W code used a balance shaft, roller cam shaft, different heads, and Central Port Injection."
However, I own a 1993 S-10 with engine code Z and it has a balance shaft and a roller cam shaft. If anyone else can verify this, I think it should be changed.

[edit] Article transfer
Firstly, the Sonoma GT article should be heavily reworked. If this were done, there would be no need to merge the articles. Secondly, the talk inputs on this page are incorrectly placed, and signing needs to be done - otherwise any talk of something serious like a merging article is somewhat illegitimate.
Overall: there is no dire need to merge the articles. The two trucks are different in their respective rights, highly similar, but merging is unnecessary for so different a vehicle. Using the model of another article is inappropriate since it was actually accurately and properly edited. C.J. (talk) 17:26, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
