20040109ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
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
