1992 Chevrolet S-10 Ext review from North America
"Overall very reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Catalytic converter had massive hole when I got it; had it welded.
Previous owner could not put tires on right, so a bolt broke; 40.00 fix.
Broken vent controls (hissing sound in cabin). I'm currently buying a replacement from the junk yard.
Paint is all sun faded, but not much rust (red & black).
Chrome grille has seen better days, but the truck is 16 years old.
Truck idles very high, will not run when idle is turned down. I have been given 1000 different reasons for this, and it has been very annoying. This makes the engine scream down the road, and it burns gas fast, however the previous owner is to blame for this.
Shocks need replacement.
Truck cost me $500.
General comments?
Overall I'm happy with my truck. I have not had a problem starting it, and I've had it for a month or 2 now in the middle of the winter. If anyone could give me an idea as to why the truck will not run without the idle turned up, it would be appreciated.
I have always liked the old style S10s and S10 Blazers. I had a short bed 92 S10 before this, one and an 88 Blazer 2 years before that.
The engine runs very strong! The 2.5 is one of the most reliable engines on the road today.
