I just bought a 2002 S10 4x4 4.3 with 44,000 miles. Runs great but I get loud engine / electrical noise over the standard radio and my XM radio. Any ideas how I can correct the problem ?

Does the noise come through the speakers when using FM radio as well as XM? or just the XM?
If it is just the XM, you could be picking up a lot of noise when using the accessory outlet.
If it is through fm stations as well as when your using the xm, your problem could be a por radio ground, or a poor ground in the antenna circuit...usualy occurs at the antenna base where it attaches to the body
