1998 Chevrolet S-10 LS review from North America
"Good Truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator 130000 miles - easy $100 fix.
Catalytic Converter 100,000 - Rattles hardcore but really doesn't affect anything.
Brake Line blew - 135000 - $170.
Nothing else other than maintenence such as plugs, wires, brakes, oil.
General comments?
This is a great truck I have had hardly any problems with it.
I noticed the volts were dropping while I let out of the gas. It was accompanied by this humming. IT ended up being alternator.
MY catalytic converter rattles hardcore. I can have the music blaring and I can still hear it. It doesn't really affect any thing at all though.
Brakes blew one morning as soon as I turned it on. The pedal just went to the floor. It ended up being a pin hole leak behind a cross member.
Overall a great truck to drive and rely.
