Exclamation Need some quick TIPS for unlocking a truck with a lock jack

I used to be good at getting into locked cars. I cant tell you the number of times Ive locked keys in cars at the carlot, sometimes running cars. I could get into some cars, like 80s camaros and things easily under 8 seconds.


Today, I have a 97 S-10 Blazer sitting in the middle of the driveway with the keys locked in it. I tried like hell this morning to get in, but Im not sure what Im looking for. It has power locks. Any ideas?

Using a decent slim jim that has always worked before.......

Those S-10s can be tough ! You have to snag the lever on the tumblers.....NOT the slider on the door panel...
put a slight bend in your jimmy so it hits the lever....go slow !! feel around .....you will find it

Is that lever above or below on the lock? I cant remember what they look like inside.

If it ever stops raining this year, I'll go back outside and try some more!

Dont ask Allan !!!!

Cant remember top,bottom or side.....just feel around very carefuly & you will feel it......Its all "feel' & picturing how it works.......It has been a few years since i was doing this all the time. just dont even bother with the slide !!! you will just snag wires !!!! & put a bend in the jimmy it helps to get to the lock

Ok, I ended up having to cheat. I called the serial # in to the Chevy garage and had a key made from that. That made more sense than tearing up stuff inside the door!


Birdog, since you can get in them, I need a CD Player for my S-10!! Kidding!
