yes they did! easy way to find out is price the fuel filter it's about 3 times the cost!
also there are 3.4 and 3.9's that are flex, but not all

E85 is made up of less petro than regular gas. it is a step towards lessening the dependency on oil but technology hasnt gone far enough to completely rid ourselves of oil. nor will they let us get off oil without some kind of money being made. how would you feel if you owned EXxon and then went bankrupt because you had no income??

Here's links to your truck on the government site. Note the MPG figures for Gas and for E85...

Gas Mileage of 2002 Chevrolet S10 Pickup 2WD FFV

5 MPG less using E85 with an auto tranny, and 6 MPG less for city driving with a manual, and a whopping 7 MPG less on the highway with a manual.
