    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!

    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.

Great trucks I’ve had minor issues with mine! I did have to change out the fuel pump eventually and one time I did have to change out two solenoids in my transmission! It was stuck in 3rd gear and I could go into reverse but once me and my buddy changed out the solenoids she was good to go!

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.

    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

    Personally I love s10s. I’ve got a 2.2 5 speed single cab 2wd that I bought at 15. Absolutely love this truck and still daily drive it even tho I have a 86’ f-150 and grand Cherokee. I don’t give a damn for horsepower that much. I pull my jon boat and I do a lot of side jobs and it’ll haul supply’s when I need it to. My 2.2 s10 has never let me down. Hell I even wrecked it and they are stupid simple little pickups and easy to find parts for. Got a sound system in it some a/ts, a new upgraded clutch, a/c will run u out of it. Wish they still made them because I’d buy a new one. I’m even getting an s10 for my gf to daily drive. And I plan on buying another 4x4 s10 when my now s10 gives out. If you’re in the market for one and watching this video buy it. Can’t go wrong for the what 2 or 3k they go for nowadays if you find a papaw gettin rid of his. They have some common issues but I’ll tell you rn it’ll fail you less than a big truck that’ll chug gas all day

      I have the same exact truck, just spent about $700 for a custom driveline for it because apparently the one that came from factory on my truck wasn’t from an s10 and they had to order conversion u joints crazy crazy crazy it has the g80 locker idk if that has anything to do with it but keep your eyes peeled so you don’t have to deal with the same crap

    I never understood how hard it is to lock your steering and just remove steering shaft from the rag joint 🤦🏽‍♂️😅 saves so much time doing a tune up on the 4.3L

    There's a nice '95 S10 for sale by me with the 2.2 liter 4 cylinder, extended cab and a 5 speed. Anyone have an opinion on that combo? I currently have a 92 Ford F150 which I love, except for its crappy gas mileage.

    I really wish it came with a LS motor but maybe that'll be a future if the vortex 2200 ever dies.

    I have a 2002 S10 LS. It sat for 10 years was my cousins. Had 21000 miles but fuel system was shot. Flat tires and sitting my cousins back yard. Body and interior like new! I had it towed out and the GM dealer rebuilt the entire fuel system. So I have about 7k invested with what I paid for the truck and the repairs. So far so good. I gotta look into that turbo kit someone posted on below.

    They sell a turbo kit for the 2.2 that gives you 80 to a hundred extra horsepower honest stock 2.2 trick that with a posi rear end and a 5-speed and you have a contender anywhere you go with a short bed single cab go for $1,200 you basically have an awesome fun little monster

    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.
