1988 Chevrolet S-10 review from North America

Starter went out at 168000 miles.

Clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder both needed replacement.

Rubber around both doors shrank and no longer fit.

Headliner fell down and had to be removed.

Heater did not blow warm at all.

A/C did not blow cold air.

Lock on passenger door would stick and you could not always get door to open.

This truck was a workhorse! Other than minor things and basic maintenance you would expect from a truck with close to 200K miles on it it ran great and never gave me a problem.

Engine was pretty gutless, but I could load the bed up and it always made it to where I needed to go. Never spent much time out of the slow lane on the highway, but I never worried that I wasn't going to make it to my destination. It never needed anything more than basic maintenance and was really bulletproof. The tranny always worked flawlessly.

On the down side the paint was totally shot after only 13 years and the interior was not much better. The weather seals around the doors had shrunk and no longer fit. The dash had numerous cracks, and the headliner disintegrated.

I would buy another in a heart beat, though, because of the reliability. These are great work trucks.
