1991 Chevrolet S-10 Truck review from North America

Since 2000 I have replaced quite a lot of stuff.

I replaced most of the engine electronics including the computer.

I replaced the heater core.

Two batteries. All filters, fuel, etc..

Probably all of the vacuum hoses have been replaced along with the distributor and everything between there and the tips of the spark plugs.

I replaced the starter around 2004.

Recently I replaced the radiator and all the hoses.

At nearly 100,000 I replaced the tires (big deal, right). Circa 2006.

OK, so from all of the stuff I replaced you think I'm gonna complain. Wrong. I love this little truck. My little S-10 is cheap to maintain. Parts don't break the bank and the truck is a breeze to repair. I thought about selling it, but, I can't bring myself to do it.

The little 2.5 Iron Duke keeps on singing along and it's fairly decent on gas. From time to time I need to haul stuff and the little S-10 works like a dog.

I guess this is why I keep my little truck. It always, well almost always, starts. It will haul most anything that will fit in the bed, and who cares if it gets scratched.

I originally bought the truck for a big move I was making and I needed to haul a few loads. It was my intention to keep the truck for about six months and then sell it. That was seven years ago.

Before this truck I had a Nissan. The S-10 is the better work truck. It just feels like its more capable of working than the Nissan I had.

The 2.5 liter Iron Duke is noisy and slow, but, I don't care. It's has been very reliable and I don't give it a second thought. The bench seat is getting pretty worn out after sixteen years.

My truck does not have power steering. It's the plain short bed, base model. I love that about it. In fact, that's my favorite part. It has rubber floor mats so I can clean it out with a garden hose.
