1993 Chevrolet S-10 Base review from North America

I have had to replace the lower ball joints at 60000 miles. I recommend that you never try to install these by yourself without the proper tools. This job took me six hours and a lot of pain.

The shocks at 50000 miles. I changed these in a parking lot of the apartment complex that I lived. They are not to difficult to install.

The water pump at 40000 miles. The water pump blew on the interstate and I had to pull off the next exit and have a local shop fix it. I think I got ripped because they charged me 350 dollars for a job I could have done for 50 dollars, 3 hours of labor and my basic tool set.

I had to replace the front brakes at 60000 miles for the first time. After pulling off the drum in the rear, the rear shoes were still above manufacturer's specs... :)

The seats have ripped on the driver side, easily solved by a seat cover.

One that has upset me was the fact that the heat decided to stop working in the middle of winter. I have installed an On-Off toggle switch to solve this. It blows always on high now.

Other that the simple things above, the truck has been great. It does not leak, sputter or make the smallest hint of a cough. The truck handles really well and will haul anything that will fit in the bed. I have decided to spend some money and get the truck painted and have a couple of neat additions. I love this truck and I will probably never get rid of it. One last thing, the truck is extremely easy to work on, if you are into that sort of thing.
