1987 Chevrolet S-10 from North America - Comments

Brake master cylinder is leaking.

Starter is dragging.

A couple of gaskets leak.

Dash is cracking.

This is an old work truck I purchased this from the second owner who drove it for about 130K miles. He didn't take great care of it, but the truck never let him down. So far I have had absolutely no trouble with it, and I've driven about 3,500 miles.

She rides very well, is comfortable and very smooth. Though she's been beat up cosmetically, I couldn't ask for a better vehicle to drive. She is reliable and ready to work. Also, the gas mileage is not too bad (17 city/21 highway).

The only thing that I could hope to be better is the acceleration. She's gotten to be pretty slow, but I guess that is to be expected when a vehicle has over 200,000 miles!

Since I wrote this review, I have changed jobs and now do A LOT of driving (about 3K per month). The truck is now up to 227,000 miles. I had to change the battery, but aside from that and oil changes, I haven't had any problems. I honestly feel that this truck is the most reliable vehicle that I have ever driven.

I just bought me own S-10 and had it for about 3 weeks and had nothing, but problems with it. Fuel Injector, fuel pump, valve gaskets leaking, and has been in the shop for about 4 days now and they can't find anything that will make it run. So no its not a good running truck. And will die the first chance it gets. So I don't expect any body to buy one if I was u.

The 87 s10 only has problems if you buy the 2.8 v6 but my 4 cyl 87 s10 has very little problems mostly because I beat on it and chevy v6 has lots of problems, but chevy s10 are very good running trucks.

I had an 87 S10 new in 87 Used it for construction and I beat the tar out of the rig. Later on I did security with it and would chase ATVs down the trails and would actually catch the little rascals They couldn't believe I would follow them into the woods greatest little rig I owned, but had to give it up due to the fact it was a standard and my knee was in bad shape so I needed an automatic.
