1998 Chevrolet S-10 LS review from North America
"Piece of crap"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump cracked, because the Dex-Cool sludged up, causing insufficient cooling.
Transmission jolts under acceleration.
Interior pieces are coming apart.
Only the passenger side speakers work.
Leaf springs are bent, so the truck squats.
Gas pedal vibrates.
General comments?
This is my friends truck, so when he first got it, I thought it was pretty nice. But looks are deceiving. It began when I started to truck up. This thing is n-o-i-s-y, and with a 2.2l 4 banger, my wife's 1987 Blazer blew the doors off this thing.
Worst of all, it rides like a Sherman Tank. The truck also has horrible overspray and orange peel in the paint (now I know that's not the trucks fault since it probably had paint work done).
But, I don't know where Chevy went wrong with this one.
