At 112,740 miles the ball joints and tire rod gave way while driving at 50 mph as the wheel folded under my car.
700.00 repair.
We won't even mention the crummy breaks
I have had to replace 4 to 5 times.
The front mirror likes to fall off from time to time, The lever broke that adjusts the bucket seat.
Other than the Engine, Transmission and Clutch I think I have replaced everything else. Oh, the heater works great! That will probably go next!
Oh, by the way, the truck was made in Canada on a Tuesday in april 1998, must hae been the Stanley Cup playoffs that were more interesting that day!
The chevy is a great vehicle if you like blowing 500.00 or more every six months for repairs. The inside has a nice looking cab, but is not comfortable for long rides, The arm rest was great unitl it caved in. My wipers go on sometimes for no particular reason, It rides nice when it's not in the shop,
Dude Sounds like you bought a beater... oh and chevy s-10's are made in New Jersey... not canada. Id bet money you have a isuzu S10 knock off.
Hehehe like a rock... ;)
And is jersey any better? Maybe there was a Devil's game that afternoon? lol.
Actually the S10 trucks were all built in Louisiana. The Blazers were made in New Jersey. Neat trucks.
Dude, paying 500 bucks every six months for maintenance on a vehicle goes hand in hand with driving a vehicle... If you drive a BMW or Lexus, be prepared to pay a helluva lot more in oil changes alone...
