2. Fuel gauge went at 278,657 Km's.

General comments?

Really reliable little truck.

- Best truck made.

- Has not burned a drop of oil since I got it.

- I recommend this truck to anyone who wants a great dependable truck.

- I'm pretty lucky. My dad has owned this truck since new so I know its been well taken care of.

- Do not buy 80-92 GMC S15,Sonoma or,Chevrolet S10.

Why not to buy to buy compact GM Truck.

1. Very unreliable engines. I owned one and it threw a rod at 100,000 Km's.

2. The body's were made from recylced iron and would start rusting within 5 years of owning even with it taken care of all the time. My dad owned a brand new GMC S15 and that's what happened to the body on it was washed 3 days a week and taken care of and within 5 years of owning it rust big rust bloches stsarted appearing on the body.

3. Theres a hundred more reasons why there so unreliable. The only good ones were the 1994 to 2004 GM compact trucks. I know becuase i own a 2002 GMC Sonoma. The replacement for the S15
