2001 Chevrolet S-10 LS Extreme from North America - Comments

"I love this truck, but I want more!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Weather moldings on outside bottom of door windows do not stay in place and were warped. Have had this problem since I got the truck. Only second repair recently has seemed to fix the problem.

A/C compressor causes loss of 8hp when it shuts off every 20-30 seconds.

Seem to be having issues with acceleration. Sluggish performance with power transfer from engine and gear switching in transmission.

Third door squeaks. I had to purchase silicon lube, but it still doesn't feel right.

I am still not impressed with the speakers in Chevrolet products. I have never had factory speakers that could adequately handle the power/bass output of the factory head unit.

General comments?

I really wish it had a bit more to give me in performance.

In some ways I would have to agree with the comment about the 2001 Chevy s-10 extreme. I own an all black 2001 s-10 extreme; extended cab, with a tonno cover, 3-inch drop, and I've taken all the decals off. I love the truck and feel like I'm on top of the world when I drive it. But it does feel sluggish, and at 60 thousand miles, a lot of stuff is starting to break. Not to mention that I live in an apartment complex and my truck seems to be a big target for getting broken into. I've already been robbed twice this month. Which brings my grand total to 6 times in the last two years.

My third door does not open anymore, because the handle broke. But none of this changes the fact that when my truck is all clean, all eyes are on me.
