1997 Chevrolet S-10 LS review from North America
"A good buy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The belt on the engine broke two months after owning the vehicle. Alternator was replaced 2 days after my purchase, seller paid full price for repair. Service engine soon light comes on every time if I use the truck in Drive instead of Overdrive. Once hooked up to a computer it always reads different. Last time computer said the gas tank was not holding a vacum. Replaced gas cap.
General comments?
I drove this truck for a little over a year, and put it through intense torture. I work off-road and drove this truck everyday off-road and was very pleased with it. The truck handles extremely good in off-road conditions and I was only stuck once. The inside is a little rough and loud. The engine in this vehicle is a great one and delivers more than enough power.
