The S10 mount is pretty slick. Nice & flat, big lock to hold it in place.

Best part is its around $10 or $11 from a dealer that'll give you competitive prices.

If the part # isn't in the FAQ, have them look up an '01 or '02 S10 with the V6, 2wd or 4wd, should't matter.

made my own mounted inside the car. Slides in and out. Cut a "V" in two peices of flat stock, slide them on the computer, tack weld where you want it, remove computer and finish weld.

****. i guess the 98 PCMs are different than later models. i looked at some pics of 02 S10s and they are flat on one side where mine is not oh well it can't be harder to make than half the fabrication so far.

I used a Silverado PCM mount..... it's kinda clunky and mounts the PCM at an angle but it was free!
