2002 Chevrolet S10 Service and Repair Manual

The engine choice stays at two: the 2.2-liter overhead-valve four of 134 cubic inches, gasoline or flex-fuel, and the 4.3-liter overhead-valve V6 of 262. Trim differences show up in suspension and equipment content, and the relevant specifications appear with the chassis procedures.
