1993 CHEVROLET S10 Owners Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Periodic Maintenance Inspections
Listed below are inspections and services which should be performed at least
twice a year (for instance, each spring and fall). You should let your GM
dealer’s service department or other qualified service center
do these jobs.
Make sure any necessary repairs are completed at once.
Steering and Suspension lnspectiont -Inspect front and rear suspension
and steering system for damaged, loose or missing parts, signs \
of wear or
lack of lubrication. Inspect power steering lines and hoses for\
proper hook-up,
binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc. (On vehicles equipped with manual
steering gear, check for seal leakage.) Lubricate the steering linkage.
Accelerator Control System -Lubricate all pivot points with engine oil,
except the
TBI throttle shaft. Do not lubricate the cam pulley. Remove all
external deposits from pulley. Do not oil any accelerator or cruise control
cables. Replace any cables that have high effort or excessive wear.
Exhaust System Inspection -Inspect the complete system. Inspect the body
near the exhaust system. Look for broken, damaged, missing or
out-of-position parts, as well as open seams, holes, loose connections or
other conditions which could cause a heat buildup in the floor pan or could
let exhaust fumes seep into the passenger compartments. See “\
Engine Exhaust” in the Index..
Drive Axle Service -Check rear/front axle fluid level and add as needed.
Check constant velocity joints and axle seals for leaking.
Transfer Case (four-wheel drive) lnspectiont -Every
12 months or at oil
change intervals, check front axle and transfer case and add l\
ubricant when
necessary. Oil the control lever pivot point and all exposed control linkage. \
Check vent
hose at transfer case for kinks and proper installation. More
frequent lubrication may be required on off-road use.
tA fluid loss in these systems may indicate a problem. Have them inspected
and repaired at once.

Your satisfaction and goodwill are important to your dealer and Chev\

artments. Sometimes, however, despite the best intentions of all concerned,
misunderstandings can occur.
If your concern has not been resolved to your
satisfaction, the following steps should be taken:
STEP ONE -Discuss your concern with a member of dealership
management. Complaints can often be quickly resolved at that le\
vel.
If the
matter has already been reviewed with the Sales, Service, or P\
arts Manager,
contact the owner of the dealership or the General Manager.
STEP TWO -If after contacting a member of Dealership Management, it
appears your concern cannot be resolved, by the dealership without fuhher
help, contact Chevrolet's Customer Assistance Center by calling
1-800-222-1020. In Canada, contact the GM of Canada Customer Assistance
Center in Oshawa by calling 1-800-263-3777 (English) or 1-800-263-7854
(French).

U. S. Virgin Islands, call
1-809-763-1 315. In all other overseas locations, contact GM International
Export Sales in Canada by calling 1-416-644-4112.
