1995 Chevrolet S10 Engine cooling Problems

“I own a 1995 S10 (4x4) pick up. I purchased this vehicle new in 1994. I had to replaced the remote oil filter lines 3 times!!! My third set is currently leaking. The remote oil filter lines fail where the rubber hose is crimped to the aluminum tubing. This is a very poor design. Apparently, chevy doesn't acknowledge the problem.”

“From what I have been able to find out, there is a carbon build up in the engine, and when some of this carbon flakes off it causes the EGR valve to stick open slightly. This in turn causes the engine idle very erratically and most of the time causes the engie to stall. This always occurs when slwoing down and stopping which is quite the safety hazard as when the vehicle begins to lose power and stall all the power options such as steering and brakes are also lost. This has almost caused me to rear end people numerous times especially in situations when I have had to stop quickly. …”

“The vehicle has an ongoing problem with the oil coolant line failing while driving at various speeds. This failure results in the vehicle stalling, but it will restart within minutes. The vehicle was driven to the dealership, where the failure recurred. The coolant line has been replaced twice. The first failure occurred at 30,000 then 60,000 and now at 120,000. It seems to be occurring every 30,000 miles. The intake was leaking oil.”

“While driving, fan came off in 1995 Chevrolet blazer and damage the radiator. This is similar to campaign 95v-180. If hood would have been open, this could have been a hazard.”

“My truck was under warranty when I first took it to the dealer for repairs, they did not diagnose it at that time. Repair was done after warranty expired, dealer did not pay. A recall was in effect for the same engine and year, but only covered cars, not pickup trucks. Blown cylinder head gasket . Nlm”
