My water pump needed to be replaced at about 150000 miles.
The clutch was replaced at the same time.
The body on this truck definitely below par. It is rusted completely through in many spots, and the paint has all, but completely fallen off.
I trust this truck like I would my mother. It has never once left me anywhere.
This truck has been a newspaper vehicle for about 10 years. I run a paper route that is at least 75 miles every night (365 days a year). I also drive it to my college classes (almost 30 miles away) at least 3 times a week.
I'll drive this truck until it simply won't go no more. Then I'll debate whether to rebuild or not.
My s10 has 207500 miles on it and it keeps going. I have only had to replace the water pump. It still has the original clutch. It is a sweet little dependable truck, and it is not giving up yet.
I also have a 91 S10 that was bought brand new and taken care of by an elderly couple. It has 244,000 miles on it and has only had the alternator replaced. It drives as if it will last another ten years.
