2003 Chevrolet S-10 LS ZR2 review from North America

Buyer beware - SIMPLY PUT STAY AWAY FROM THEM.

I purchased my truck in Feb 2006, within a month, the ABS light came on and passenger window switches failed. Shortly thereafter, I noticed the quirks with the CD stereo, constantly skipping before blaming the truck CD player, I cleaned all the CD's in my collection with a readily available cleaning kit an then I used an automotive CD cleaner kit. After that a mysterious clunk started in the general area of the driver side front end. I say general area as the noise comes and goes intermittently and is very hard to pinpoint. Found an antifreeze leak, replaced a headlight and now the headlights don't align properly (this is a simple fix with the standard 9006 bulb, no adjustment involved, simply no reason for alignment problem)

I have to say as much fun as this truck is to drive it just isn't worth the hassle, after driving a 1997 K1500 for 206K w/o this many headaches.

I HAVE ALWAYS CONSIDERED MYSELF A CHEVY DIE HARD AND HAVE GOTTEN INTO HEATED DEBATES OVER THE CHEVY/FORD THING, but EVEN I AM CONSIDERING THE "F" WORD NOW - CHEVY??? NOPE NEVER AGAIN!!!

I will also be dumping this truck as soon as I can.

Instrument panel/console were well configured.

ZR-2 appearance package is a poor attempt at mimicking the ZR-5 off-road truck - if I want an off-road truck I want an off-road truck, not the cosmetics.

Sharp looking truck, that is fun to drive aside from the mechanical headaches.

Feels like I "got taken for a ride" when I bought this truck
