Bad starter, flex pipe and Cd player lights are going out. But otherwise good.
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.
Your problem is you bought the dreaded 2.2L four, rated one of the top 10 worst engines of all time by Popular Hot Rodding. I run a 98 ext. cab with the 4.3L 6 and I see 24 mpg on the highway, and if I drive it nice, 20 mpg in the city and the power is brilliant down low where you need it to be in a truck. If you can, trade up, the fuel economy is not worth the hassle of a cheesy little engine.
