1994 Chevrolet S-10 Base review from North America

Fan clutch locked up - 40K miles.

Wiper motor failure - $65K miles.

Head gasket leak - 72K miles - admittedly a major problem, but fixed by the dealer for a reasonable price and fixed RIGHT!

Fuel pump replaced - 100K miles.

Starter replaced - 120K miles.

Best vehicle I've ever owned by far! With the exception of the head gasket leak everything I've had to replace is what I consider to be normal wear items (nothing lasts forever). Although the head gasket leak WAS a major problem its the only one I've had. I do almost all my own work and maintenance, but the dealer service I've had has been excellent.

I love the way it looks; great overall design with really nice touches like a peaked hood and cool tail light shape. Mine is painted "Radar Blue" (deep purple) with gray tweed fabric upholstery and looks customized from the factory.

I paid less than $10K for it and its given me more than my money's worth; great value! It's been paid for for years and I still drive it every day.

My only complaint is the lack of power from the 4-banger, but you can't have everything!

I love this truck and I never ever want to sell it! When the day finally comes for it to be retired, I plan to do a full customization on it including installing a small-block V8 and resurrect as the hot rod it already LOOKS like it is!

I don't care what anyone else says, this is a fantastic product; I'd buy another in a heart beat and would recommend it to anyone!
