2002 Chevrolet S-10 Base review from North America
"Good soild truck, buy the ext warranty though"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A/c compressor at 14,000 miles
window weather strip 1,000 miles
runs hot with a/c on since 15,000 miles
fuel pump at 43,000 miles
main engine seal at 45,000 miles
a/c line fitting leaking 46,000 miles
tries to stall sometimes when cold
fuel gauge is close at best.
General comments?
Truck is the base model, 4cyl 5 speed. Barely makes it to 85mph on the interstate. Always a problem when using the A/C. However, with as many things that have gone wrong with the truck. I still can't seem to part with it. The transmission shifts smooth, lots of pep for a 4cyl motor. Dash lay out is great, perfect look to the truck. I have always been a Ford guy, but this truck will run circles around a Ford Ranger. These are good trucks, unusual for so many problems?
