Just purchased a used 1998 S10 extended cab 4 cylinder automatic had a slight vibration around 60 to 65 mph, I took it into the mechanic and they had all of the U Joints and the carrier bearing replaced also had the tires balanced and rotated. Now the vibration has turned into a really bad shake but the mechanic said he cannot duplicate the problem. I can't drive the truck above 50 mph.

Article 96-26-21 is being republished in its entirety as part of a consolidated 7.3L diagnostic aid booklet.
ISSUE
Some vehicles with transmissions built prior to 11/13/95 (5L13) may exhibit a driveline resonance/vibration between 1400 and 2000 RPM with the torque convertor engaged. This may be caused by the torque converter.
ACTION
Prior to torque converter replacement, refer to the following Service Procedure for details to verify conditions.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Verify the resonance/vibration does not occur in neutral and is most noticeable between 1400 and 2000 RPM with the converter clutch engaged during medium to heavy throttle conditions. Also watch for the vibration to diminish at engine speeds lower than 1400 and higher than 2000 RPM. If the concern meets all of these conditions and the transmission has a built date prior to 11/13/95 (5L13), replace the torque converter. Refer to the appropriate Service Manual for removal and installation procedures.
2. If the vibration concerns do not meet the conditions, check for non-factory installed items that could affect driveline and verify proper installation. Also refer to the appropriate Service Manual, Section 05-00 for diagnosis and testing.

I bought a boat and trailer and there is no cord to hook up the trailer lights. i have a 1998 chevy s10 pickup extended cab.

your best bet is to get a harness from the parts store for your truck. cost is around $30.00 but well worth it. it connects into your harness and doesnt corrode and blow fuses while your trailer is in the water
