1999 Chevrolet S-10 ext cab review from North America
"I like the truck a lot, but the repairs are getting costly"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Catalytic converter went at 70,000 miles. A dealer replaced at no cost it was under warranty.
Brake sensor went twice. Not under warranty and costly to replace.
The oil pump lines and oil cooler lines went and had to be replaced. not aware of any recall or that they are under warranty.
My mechanic told me all that went wrong with the parts were from normal wear and tear and not due to rough driving or abusing the vehicle.
General comments?
Truck handles very well and rides nice. Very good on the gas mileage.
