1992 Chevrolet S-10 SS review from North America
"It has good pick-up, handles well for a truck, and hauls things like there's no tomorrow."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced all brake lines, steel and rubber.
Replaced all gas, air, and return lines from the gas tank up.
Replaced all CV joints.
Replaced Universal joints twice in one year.
Replaced water pump and thermostat.
Installed new gas tank because the factory one was rotted out.
Cracked dashboard allows the door of the glove box to pop out of place.
Mysterious wires are hanging out of the underside of the dashboard. (Previous owners replaced heater core and head unit, so this is not a factory issue.)
Heater fan speed selector is broken, and the High setting doesn't work at all.
Emergency brake handle broke off inside the cab.
Split back window used to leak, but it was fixed with some clear caulking.
Large hole in body over right, rear tire.
Reverse lights do not come on.
General comments?
I bought this truck for $500, and since I replaced all the above mentioned things, it has been a very reliable mode of transportation. It does eat up gas, though.
Even though my suspension is on the verge of needing replaced, the truck still handles well.
Truck does not have tilt wheel, so steering takes some getting used to.
