1991 Chevrolet S-10 Tahoe Pick Up review from North America
"Buy an 91 S-10 and not a 98 Blazer!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
What a great truck! Let me start by saying that I bought this S-10 when I was 17 years old, and drove it out of the dealer show room. I have drove every one of the 165,000 miles on this vehicle. My only complaints are as follows:
Clutch - on my 3rd clutch. I did learn to drive a manual on the first clutch (replaced at about 40K miles)
Emergency brake lines - replaced about 4 times. These would always freeze up on me in the winter time due to moisture ingress. A few times I was stuck with the emergency brake on. I finally learned not to put the emergency brake on during winter months, and have not had a problem with them since.
The doors have started to sag because the bushings for the pins on the hinge come out. I have had these replaced once already, and they need to be replaced again.
Due to the door sagging, the door is very difficult to close.
General comments?
The body on my S-10 is very rough, but can be expected as it has drove over literally millions of tons of road salt in Pittsburgh.
My only "design complaint" is that the cab is not long enough. I am only 5'9" but the cab could have been extended 4 or 5 inches which would have made the last 15 years of driving more comfortable.
This has been a great vehicle and has got me through those "financially difficult" years in college without a problem. Chevy could have used me for a commercial!
I was 100% sold on Chevy because of this vehicle and bought a 98 Blazer, only to find out that they have every defect under the sun.
