1987 Chevrolet S-10 review from North America
"This truck will never die"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brake master cylinder is leaking.
Starter is dragging.
A couple of gaskets leak.
Dash is cracking.
General comments?
This is an old work truck I purchased this from the second owner who drove it for about 130K miles. He didn't take great care of it, but the truck never let him down. So far I have had absolutely no trouble with it, and I've driven about 3,500 miles.
She rides very well, is comfortable and very smooth. Though she's been beat up cosmetically, I couldn't ask for a better vehicle to drive. She is reliable and ready to work. Also, the gas mileage is not too bad (17 city/21 highway).
The only thing that I could hope to be better is the acceleration. She's gotten to be pretty slow, but I guess that is to be expected when a vehicle has over 200,000 miles!
