1999 Chevrolet S-10 LS EXT CAB review from North America
"Great Practical Truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bad starter, flex pipe and Cd player lights are going out. But otherwise good.
General comments?
I have had the truck for 2 months, I had a 95 Caprice 9C1 police car with the LT1 V8 and needed a economical truck for my business. I found this truck online for $3000 and I drove it 500 miles from place of purchase. It ran real rough and had poor gas mileage (granted it has a 4:10 rear end).Later on I had new GM plugs, wires, Cap, Air Filter installed and it didn't change anything. Check engine light came on turned out a bad flex pipe is causing the 02 sensor to send a bad code. It runs even worse when the A/C is on It shifts funny and there is a high stalling rpm sound coming from the engine.
