Transmission gears jamming at 130,000 miles.
Water pump at 85000.
Starter at 120,000 miles.
This truck is owned by my sister. She is not good at maintaining anything in good shape.
The oil was changed every 20,000-30,000 miles.
Transmission fluid was never checked or changed until it was damaged.
I thought that the truck held up pretty good considering how it was taken care of. So I purchased an S-10 with a V6 and maintain it like it should be. And I love it.
Do you really mean she only changed the oil every 20,000 to every 30,000. it is amazing that truck ran at all in the end. Makes me want to go buy one right now if it can take that kind of abuse and still go.
Suprisingly vehicles can go a very long time without an oil change. With some vehicles that go 40,000 without an oil change and you change it, everything goes to garbage after that. Including the motor. A dodge neon went 40,000 miles without an oil change.
