1984 Chevrolet S-10 durango review from North America
"It never dies.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It really likes its starters, I've replaced 3 since I've had it
idles very rough
after a long trip the starter sticks
rust in the front fenders
drivers side window off track
rear tailights don't work very well
burns oil
heater doesn't heat up all that well
have to hold the 4x4 lever to keep it engaged
a heater vent fell in
drivers side door hard to close and clunks open.
General comments?
Got it from my dad.
Still on the original engine, transmission, and every other mechanical component other than the starters.
Takes forever to start in the morning
once its warm it runs fine except for idling
interesting to tow with...
Easy to drive
unbreakable. will run forever, just when I think its about to die, it keeps on going.
Been through "the tuff truck" competition at the fair (jumps, mud pits, bumps, rocks) and is STILL running...
Easy to light up the tires, but it doesn't like doing it as it boggs and sputters when done.
God...it just won't die.
