Introduce myself, South American Crew Cab

Post by fpieri »

Hi guys,

Yesterday and discovered your site s-10crewcab.com
I am from south America (my country is Uruguay).
My s10 cc (year 2001) is assembled in Brazil and has a MWM Sprint 2.8 Turbo Diesel with Intercooler (132CV) engine. But is has a lot of components made in USA and Canada.
I think is a good truck and i enjoy off roading (we have a group at www.4x4URuguay.com, forum in spanish).

The s10 made in Brazil (as you know the s10 is the sales leader since 12 years ago, also in my country) is slightly different from the USA model. Main differences in the front. I can post some pictures and youtube videos also.

Also, i will ask for somebody knowledge because i need a replacement for my airbag control module (center console). The Part Number is: 16218445 (i did not found it in ebay).

Thank you in advance

Fermín Pieri

:woohoo:

Welcome! :wave:

Finally someone who can tell us what the Hp or Kw and torque that turbo diesel has!
What kid of mileage do you get?

Really jealous over here. Wish we had the option.

After all this time, an elusive Brazilian S-10 owner. Your trucks have some cool options we were never offered. Welcome

Welcome to the forum!!
I did some quick searching on some oem websites for gm and ac delco and the part number you have listed did not come back as found or valid. Sorry. Perhaps it is unique in design or number to the South American trucks??
We look forward to your contributions to the site.

Hi Henry, thanks for your reply.
Well, GM before year 2000 assembly this truck with the MAxion 2.5 Turbo diesel engine (as i know the engine is designed by Rover and used in Ford Ranger, Chevrolet s10 and Blazer, Mercedes Benz Sprinter, Land Rover Discovery, etc.) All with the same result: Bad.
In year 2000, GM started to put the MWM Sprint engine and since that day, all that the users says: "GREAT ENGINE, GREAT TRUCK". Ford put the Powerstroke engine (international) since that day also with good success.

Why DIESEL?
In my country and other in our area, not only trucks and buses work with diesel, but also cars and trucks. Why? simply because the diesel was the half of the price of the gasoline.
Since 2 years ago, this is changing and now the diesel price is the same as the gasoline price.
But if you make some kilometers in a month, you need a diesel engine. GM, FORD, TOYOTA, NISSAN, MITSUBISHI, etc. does not sell the truck with gasoline engine. Only diesel.

In Brazil, since year 2006 they put the MWM 2.8 Electronic engine. the same but with electronic inyection because of the new laws (emissions).
But in my country they continue to sell the "mecanic" inyection model since today. (The quality of the diesel here is a big concern because sofisticated inyection system like common rail and others fail with our diesel, Mercedes, BMW, Peugoet, Citroen, all!).

Economy: my s10 spend 1 liter every 13km in the highway and 1 liter every 10km in the city. The engine is very good, very similar torque of a gasoline model. In the highway you can travel at 150 or 160 km/h normally (i do not travel as fast, always 120 up to 140km/h)

For the engine spec, please visit:

http://www.mwm-international.com.br/def ... 3&idioma=2

the current model is 4.0TCE (140CV) electronic

the one in my truck is 4.0TCA (132CV)

i have a lot of pictures of our weekends with the 4x4 group. so i will start to upload something this days if you like.

thanks

Hi, thanks

I guess that they use part numbers regarding the year of the vehicle and may be regarding the country to be sold.
But i guess other part numbers will be compatible. Tomorrow i will write all the info in the label and i will let you know. I do not think is a unique design. all the other components are the same: accelerometers down the radiator support, driver airbag, passenger airbag, etc.

The point the users here does not find good in this truck is the front suspension. The use not good shocks.

I replaced them by RANCHO 5000 and also gain some cm (may be 6) with the torsion bars. I use a set of 31"x10.5 R15 MUD TERRAIN TOYO TRANSPATH TIRES with very good results. for the normal use i have a set of 235/75R15 all terrain goodyear wrangler tires.

Also i replaced the cover of the engine in the front because of the intercooler radiator in the front .

Bye, thanks

Jeez, I got so excited I forgot to help. Try here: http://www.directauto.com/ Rumor has it that they ship to other countries. http://www.rockauto.com/ and http://www.partsamerica.com/ ship to other countries as well. LMC truck may ship outside the USA.

A whole bunch of envy here, I wish I could get my hands on one here for a good price. Add an extra tank with a coil for vegetable oil tie it into the main fuel system and I am sure it would pass emissions. I am jealous

I keep mine out of the city as much as possible! If I catch too many lights and I can average 13 mpg. The stupid Oscars where going on and they shut down Hollywood Blvd from Orange to Highland. I was digging a whole directly next door to the Chinese theatre. Getting to the freeway at the end of the day was a major nightmare (Did I mention I hate Southern California) MPG went waaaaaaaaaaay down. Now that would make my truck 10mpg less efficient than the diesel. In my mind the extra fuel burned sitting in L.A. traffic more than caught up to what the diesel would have put out with the extra fuel burned. I am :bonk: thinking these politicians need a swift :kick:

Thank you very much for the welcome!

10 Km/L is about 23.52 Mpg (CITY)

12 Km/L is about 28.23 Mpg HIGHWAY
13 Km/L is about 30.58 Mpg HIGHWAY

BUT, our gaspoline and diesel price is not the same as in the US.

Here, 1 liter of diesel today cost: USD 1.40
Gasoiline price is almost the same: USD 1.42

How much is the diesel price in US today?
thanks

Welcome aboard Fermin!

You have an excellent truck there. Your km/L or MPG is making us Americans very jealous. I would love to have your engine in my truck instead of the 4.3L.

Again welcome and thanks for sharing with us.

KWalsh

Diesel prices around my area are around $3.70USD per gallon, which I believe works out to around $1USD per liter...if I did my math right. :)

I went through deep water a year ago during some flooding and it set my airbag light I'm assuming your airbag light is on? I thought I had shorted something out but I gave it a couple days to dry and the light went off.

Yes. my airbag light is on since that day. The truck was in the water for 3 hours so it came inside. so the airbag control unit was affected by the water.
Of course the front sensor (accelerometers) were "inside" the water but i tried to replace them but the airbag light is still on. so, i think the control unit (inside the center console) is damaged.

The same place, with MT tires no problem. but this day i was talking over the phone and also i were with standard tires. i came out by the window.

WELCOME!!!

Be sure to pass along this forum info to others down in the DEEP SOUTH so a new section just for the South American guys will need to be added... :)

That video link and pictures were very nice. I'm not a mudder but I do like to watch some of these videos that have been posted here. Can't afford the fixes that would need to be done after days like that :lol:

HaHa! Looks like a NW KS mail route road in a rare rain storm. Hmmm, maybe that's why my repairs are so frequent and expensive???
Seeing that waterlogged truck reminds me why I don't do that. Too expensive to keep running with my "normal?" driving!
23-30 mpg! Yeah, I'm very jealous of that!

Well, water, if you remain inside for a while is the worst thing for the vehicle.
After that day, 1 week later i experienced starter problems so the started needed to be fixed. Afortunately, nothing more than that.

When we go mudding, well, a very good wash of the chassis, engine a body and interior. I have the truck since 1 year ago. I went to many weekends of mudding (beach also). Until now only the starter failed. But i saw other to brake differentials, engines, and many other things.

No i am looking to buy a Jeep Cj7 1980 with a very good 6 cilinders turbo diesel engine (nissan?) and locking differentials in the front and rear end, also 35" MT tires just for the days of fun. Just as a second or third vehicle for the fun (i use the truck as a daily vehicle).

Here they love japanese trucks like the Toyota, Nissan, Mitsubishi, etc.

thanks

Hey Fermin, Some of those "rice grinders" are pretty good trucks too. I know some folks look down on them but they, just like all others, have their good and bad points. One thing I do know for sure, they sure hold their resale values better! :shock:

Bienvenido Fermin. Que haces en Paraguay? Aqui todo el tiempo hablamos de las trocas que vende GM en Sur America i como tienen motores diesel. Mi troca es del ano 2000, i la mayoria de las partes son hechas en Brasil. Aqui en EEUU no vendieron estas hasta la ultima parte del ano 2001.

Muchas gracias. Hasta el momento había olvidado pedir disculpas porque mi inglés no es muy bueno. Incluso releyendo alguno de los mensajes que escribí veo varios errores de ortografía, letras que faltan, etc. Pido disculpas.

En realidad yo vivo en Uruguay que es un poco más al sur que Paraguay, sobre el Río de la Plata. Es un país pequeño, muy lindo y muy tranquilo que invito a que visiten. Tal vez hayan oído de Punta del Este, un lugar muy lindo para pasar el verano.

Aquí yo me dedico al rastreo (tracking) de camiones de carga y otros vehículos.

Con respecto a las s10, si, efectivamente han tenido un muy buen suceso en Brasil, Argentina y Uruguay. Aun al día de hoy es la líder en ventas en su segmento. Algunos de los materiales usados en Brasil no son tan buenos como en USA y Canada pero en general pienso que es una buena camioneta. La verdad que la s10 tiene una muy buena apariencia, es muy confortable y su motor MWM 2.8 TDI realmente muy agil, es como un auto.

Yo no sé, pero el nuevo motor electrónico MWM 2.8 (el 4.07TCE) cumple con euroIII. Tal vez pueda pasar los controles en USA. Ahora bien, no creo que sea un motor muy barato.

Bueno, les mando un saludo, y gracias!

The translations can be a bit rough, but mostly understandable.

What I'd like to put in my truck is the new Cadillac 250hp diesel V6 they just released in Europe to compete with Mercedes and BMW

Only, I'd like to hook up at least one turbo with intercooler to get a little more power.
But, as is with 250hp this would be alot more powerful than the 4.3L engine

Supposedly the major manufacturers were waiting until after 2007 (because of the new diesel emission standards) to begin introducing small diesels in the USA. That is one of the reasons Heep and VW did not offer the Liberty and Jetta diesels after 2006. Most of the small diesels now being sold in the EU states, would meet or exceed the Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel emissions standards. Look for 1/2 ton diesels from Toyota/Nissan/GM/Ford/(Dodge, if they still exist) in 2009.

I think it'd be cool to have this diesel in the engine compartment, and then rig up an electric system in the bed to use for highway use.

I know that's alot of trouble to appease the climate change crowd who thinks mankind is destroying the earth in spite of over 19,000 scientists who are saying it's NOT caused my mankind.

But, it'd be kinda cool to be able to use electric some of the time to save money on fuel. Maybe out on the highway electric might workout OK.

From the look of this pic it appears that your engine hood and grille are one complete assembly. Correct? If so then that's cool the differences beteween U.S. and Brazilian S10 trucks. I like the headlights and the 94-97 U.S. model mirrors on your doors. But your tailights... eh I like the U.S. models better.

How about some interior pics. Are there any differences between U.S. and Brazilian models?

Welcome to the site, fpieri. I spent a couple years in Central, and some in South America, and I still have a rough time with the Spanish language. My wife's first language is Spanish though, but she doesn't have the patience to teach me. I've seen some nice S10 CC's down there. And when I was there, they cost thousands less than I paid for mine, and I got an excellent deal on mine, for here anyhow.

Anyhow... :cheers: Una grande cerveza fria de mi parte para celebrar!

There was one other than me that made it up, most just tried to go downafter they the up attempted couldn't be made. There were some remnants of mirrors and fenders at the bottom. :lol: :?

Hi, some notes for the interior pictures:

steering wheel is not the original. Then original is not of leather but another "similar" material no as good as leather. The one i have now i bought from ebay (american).

The rear interior mirror has maplights. Now i bougth also the blazer or american crew cab overhead console. I will install it when i have some time...
I need to add the exterior temperature sensor and also find the cable with the speed information in order to have the console to show exterior temperature (refresh is related to the speed of the vehicle).

Do you know where can i find on-line the exterior temperature sensor?
I guess i found the part number somewhere.

Thanks in advance

Thanks Quickbiker for the welcome,

Thanks also for the video. Here we have a group at www.4x4uruguay.com
We like mud and we go out 1 or 2 times a month. I spent half of a monday to clean chassis, engine and body !! but we have fun!
Now i want to buy a Jeep Cj7 or (YJ very rare here). We have at the group the one and only TJ. Well, the army here had some CJ7. S10 is very good off road but i need to lift it (suspension and body) and may be i will loss the excepcional confort of driving in the 99% use at make of it. So i think the best thing i can do i but a Jeep with V8 engine, lift, 35" mud tires and have fun. Yes, I know, i will need to repair it and mantain very often.

thanks

Fermin

Here you have a picture of the Wrangler TJ ...

I like the music in your vids, fpieri. And nice mud. The wheeling here is mostly rocks, tight trail through woods, and hill climbs. Is it mostly mud trails over there?

Yes, mostly we have mud and sand, very good dunes. Next weekend we will make a trip to a rocks zone also.

Question about lockers:
Brazilian S10 up to year 1999 came with tracklock wich is a Limited Slip locking differential in the rear axle.
Then, until year 2006 they came with open differential
From year 2006 they started again to use TracLock.

TracLock for me is not enough. So i want to install a full locker like the Richmond Gear Powertrax No Slip traction system. about usd 385 (or similar).

Does the american model include a locking differential in the rear axle?
What is your opinion about the PowerTrax No Slip?

Our brazilian crew cabs have a DANA 44 30 spline open differential in the rear axle.

Thanks in advance!

Wowzers, you serious about d44 stock in your s10? I bet they use the Isuzu D44, that's what I got in mine now, from a Rodeo. Is it an aluminum or cast steel housing? Anyhow, you have allot of choices for what to put in there. I use a Detroit full carrier locker in mine, they are a bit radical on the road, but about the most robust out there. Can also get the power trax or something for stock open rears. Our S10's come with the option of the G80, which is what they call a locking rear, but it really doesn't fully lock, but much better than an open rear.

Hey Fermin, I see by the pictures (nice truck) you posted you've got an electric pusher fan in front of the radiator. Does that come stock on your diesel models or did you add it yourself? If stock I assume because of the length of the diesel and lack of room between engine and radiator for mechanical fan. Nice picture of the TJ also including the smiling face of the lady passenger. Can't see well enough if driver is smiling. Always nice to see people happy and having a good time! :D

Hi, the fan you mentioned is stock. Also it has another, the big one, between the engine and radiator.
The driver of the TJ is always smiling but in this photo does not.
Well, thank you very much for your comments and here you have another smiling picture...

So is the small fan just an auxillary or runs only when air conditioner is on?
Good to see you're having fun also! 8)

Hey, it runs only when AC is on.
AC and rear wheels ABS is stock in all models
We have here 3 models:

BASIC. AC, no electrical package, standar wheels, no back window, etc, rear wheels ABS


STD, AC, electrical package, aluminun wheels, back window, rear wheel ABS, etc. (also called here FULL EQUIPMENT)


DLX (STD plus 4 wheel abs and airbags, called here EXTRA FULL Equipment)


mine is DLX

in Brazil they sell also another model EXECUTIVE wich has also leather seats, etc.

mine is year 2001 but the model 2008 is exactly the same except for the dash panel wich has less instruments (oil pressure and voltimeter is not present anymore, why????)

mine is stock plus

a) fenders (of model 2006+)
b) air intake (hood, only cosmetic)
c) overhead console (to be installed...)
d) CHEVROLET decal of cargo door (model 2006+)
e) leather steering wheel
f) headlights all white (model 2003+), mine where white and orange but they were no so good
