1989 Chevrolet S-10 Blazer Tahoe review from North America
"Solid, reliable performer!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing major has gone in the years I have owned this wonderful truck! Just the usual for S-10 Blazers.
Oil Pressure sending unit ($15)
Lower ball joints ($150)
Transfer case vacuum switch ($15)
Oil filter hoses ($75)
Tires ($600)
General comments?
In the 4 years I have owned this vehicle it has been a pleasure to drive and very reliable. I have put a lot of miles on it and it it runs excellent.
The 4x4 is very good in the snow and after putting on some good aggressive tires it is capable of anything.
I do routine maintenance on this truck and it shows in its performance. Also parts are easy to fix and availability is never an issue.
The interior has held up very good over the years and is still stylish. The seats are more comfortable than my lazy-boy chair and are just starting to show signs of wear.
The body is starting to rust a little, but I will take care of that before it goes any farther.
I highly recommend this truck to anyone who is looking for a reliable 4x4. I do prefer the square body style and would buy another one without hesitation.
