So try your luck with an S10. You should expect the unexpected when you modify ANY vehicle.

Sounds like bad chassis grounds. But what is smoking and from where?

Sounds like the truck isnt the issue. Just saying.

Not to be a dick, but yeah... trucks not the issue...

You just need to take a few extra steps evidently.

 

[STRUCK]

I'm guessing you did a body lift, take a minute and go over the whole truck and check all the wires make sure none of them streched so much that the came apart. Does sounds like a chassis ground came loose.

Don't just give up, any vehicle you do something after market to your gona eventually run into an issue.

i dont know what body lift you bought but the PA one i think comes wth extened brackets for the firewall grounds but you easily make them with some 14 gauge wire or something

You are going to have just as many problem (if not more) with a S10. I know, I drive the Ford Ranger and my Mom drives the S10 Blazer. Some of the things I had to fix on the S10 were dicked up, if not expensive in labor to fix (thank god I'm a mech). The Ranger has had its problems, but not ones where the cost starts in the $1,000's to begin with.
