[1st Chevy]

Just got my 2019 Premier last week and been doing a lot of reading here and learned a lot of good info. I would like to rotate my own tires, plus have a jack in the car just in case. I've read it's recommended to use an old S-10 jack for the Bolt. My question is, would any S-10 jack work, or is there a specific year jack I would need for the Bolt? Thanks.

seem to recall there's a particular S-10 jack, not every one will work as well

The one I have has the dimple relatively close to the scissors and still works at least on the front lifting point. Might have a problem with the rear but I doubt it. I was able to lift the entire side of the car just from the front lifting point.

Found this S-10 jack on ebay, does it look like one that would work on the Bolt's front lift position?

Thanks for the reply, just purchased it. Looks like only 2 left in case anyone else is looking for a new jack.

Taller S-10 jacks

These are my 2 taller S-10/Blazer jacks, one from ebay, another one from a picknpull junk yard. Made in Canada, 15707220.

Some of the early s-10 configs were 1000 pounds less than the Bolt weight. I'm not sure if any or how many changes were made to the jack over the many years of s-10. The trucks got a lot beefier over the years. Point being I'd go for a later model one.

It's a truck jack, it's pretty massive. It lifts the Bolt as a breeze.



On the same junk yard, I bought a couple of old "slotted" jacks for my Gen1 Volt. They are probably from older Malibu or Pontiac Grand Am. These jacks are maybe 1.5 smaller than the one from S-10 .
