I bought a 2003 2.2l 5 speed s10 when I was 14 with 32,000 miles. 14 years later that’s still my daily driver. She’s my slow as shit baby but I’ll never get rid of her. So reliable and anything that’s wrong with her is an easy fix. Other than hitting a cow on the highway she’s never been down longer than a day. I love her

Mine is named "Louise". She is a 2002 LS, 2.2 liter 5 speed manual with 176,000 miles on the odometer. By far the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned. She starts right up on the first try even in -30 degree weather. She's a farm truck so she gets worked hard but doesn't complain one bit. I will be replacing the tail gate since it's badly rusted out and is barely hanging on! Love my S10!

@barbiesawada5916 3 года назад

I have a 1995 SS that is getting a 5.3 swap right now and I love it. Your history on the S10 is incorrect. Chevy Luv was actually the 1st small Chevy truck and it was basically a Isuzu truck with a Chevy logo. Like Mazda and Ford , Ford owned 65% of stock in Mazda of America. 2nd Generation S10s started in 1994-2004. All S10 models are hot for collectors and race track drivers due to their weight. You should do more videos on S10 restoration and LS swaps cause they are Hot right now.

Got my grandmother's 96 s10. 2.2 with the 5 speed. Ls package. 2 wheel drive. Been a fun little truck. She got it new off the lot back in the day and at 200,000 miles my grandfather had to put a new engine and trans in it. So it has its second 2.2 with 5 speed in it but it's been great for my first vehicle. Rebuilt front suspension (ball joint, wheel bearings) and I've had to put a new water pump in it. It has its issues but damn we've had a lot of fun in her. One day wanna ls swap it.

@ryurc3033 2 года назад

Usually the center plug that has the steering shaft in the way is only a problem if the motor mounts are collapsed. Put a jack under the motor and raise it up an inch. Totally changes the situation. Extremes did come extended cab. I have a black one, and blazers came as an extreme as well. My bravada is more comfortable than an s10, just a few of the early 90s trucks. Even a few 92 or 93 trucks had what was called cpi. Early "vortec" aluminum intakes existed. Look up motor week 1/4 mile testing for a sonoma gt, compaired to the iconic 454ss truck. They were within 2/10ths of a second...pretty rad

@geoffmorgan6059 Год назад

Agreed, I have seen in the local Pull-A-Part a 2000 S10 Xtreme with a cargo door and four wheel drive! I pulled the front frame hooks off it and put them on my vanilla 2002 GMC Sonoma.

@colubrinedeucecreative 2 года назад

Really good video dude! Yes it surprises me. I am 44 and have a 98 S10 LS with 2.2 but I am poor so not sure any of this counts toward the meta or anything. I bought the truck near 10 years ago and it does good for me, but there are tons of problems I wasnt even aware that it was having, like a arm bushing problems? The EGR I think is clogged and the tab was broke off so I had to epoxy them together but still get sputtering and ffs there is vibrations at some lower speeds and I am not sure about what it is, kinda thinking it was clutch but happens even full in so idk just so many problems.

I have a 2002 Chevy S10 4.3 Extended cab. pretty reliable easy to fix. gotta fix the Chevy lean tho. Left side cleans more than the right. Usually people say alignment but it’s stock height. Usually people lift the left side up so it matches the right also. idk what it takes but you can also drop the right which makes it leveled with the left.
