I just got a 99 S10 my first manual at 38 years old. She's only got 138k on her and was maintenance well, just rust being a Michigan truck! Hope she does me well for the near future thanks for the video.
This is an old video, she has 316,000 miles on it now! Be easy on it and take care of it and it will definitely take care of you! glad you enjoyed the video.
120000,miles in four years now that is very reliable. I just watched your other video. I've got the same truck 2002 chevy s10 4cil 2wheel drive base cab 329000 miles.around town steers and stops beautiful a cup of coffee and a cig with radio on full volume driving around Sunday morning at 3 o clock with noone else on the,road.now that's fun
I just got a 2003 GMC Sonoma from a neighbor's estate, I used to joke with him about inheriting it one day. He croaked while mowing his lawn and his kids can't manage a manual shift so I got a good deal. Good video
got a 2nd gen 98 s10 with 355k miles, runs like a dream, only had to replace a few small parts, 100% factory engine and transmission with the exception of brakes, only a 2.2l 4banger but its so much fun for the cost.
I have a 99 2.2 S10 as well, and it is in fact horribly slow. I also happen to be in PA too and the biggest issue I have is when there's snow. If there's snow forget going anywhere, I have a lot of hills and it won't move lol.
Just moved to baja California need a car that can handle better than my Acura TL type S down there, I think this review is perfect because I'm buying used on Craigslist and they all have around 150k- 200k for my price range since I'm being cheap, $2k budget.
It’s actually not horribly slow. My wife has a 2007 Cobalt which has the 2.2 or similar I think. I’m really close to getting an S10 as a beater project
thubb6 the 2.2 in the cobalt is an ecotec aluminum block DOHC where as the 2.2 in the S10 is an iron block push rod engine with about 40 less hp and the truck is 1,000 lbs heavier than the Cobalt. Either way it's a great reliable beater especially if it's a stick.
West Hills Rides Man.. had no idea. That gives me an idea about how nimble the 4 cyl S10 might be. Huge difference in weight and horsepower. Not even looking for anything fast.. just something to lower, keep clean and run around town with
Check it out good, take it for a ride, as long as u don't beat it and rev the pants on it, they are good solid little trucks. This one has 244,000 miles on it now and just put a clutch in it over the weekend.
@@angelcolin51 well yeah they have the capability from factory, I meant it as a joke being the 2.2 S10 is slow as frozen molasses, especially climbing PA Hills with the A/C on lol
I'm looking at a 2000 chevy s10 2.2 4 cylinder but I'm wondering is that engine any good is it reliable. It has 153k , does that have much life to it left?
that was an old video, i'm at 337,000 miles now, original engine with no internal work, transmission was pulled twice only to replace the clutch (manual trans.) If you take good care of that engine, it will certainly take good care of you.
Is the truck still driving and if so how many miles? Just picked up a garage kept one owner 96 s10 extended cab 2.2liter 5 speed with 82,000 miles on it. Such a clean truck in and out
kyle chai that one was on it when I bought it, it’s been wrecked sense then twice, the one on it now I found in a junk yard on one of my other videos. U can probably find them new on amazon or order one from an auto parts store
West Hills Rides I’ve been looking for one. I bought one from advance auto that said that it fit however it didn’t really fit that well so I guess I’m a bit hesitant to order one online. But thanks for the quick reply!
Gustavo Quinonez not bad, this one is a 4cyl with a 5speed manual, average driving I can get 25mpg, if I'm really trying I can get 28-29 highway. Btw the channel name changed to West Hills Rides, be sure to check out some of the other content if you enjoyed this video
Copper-Brass lol that would be a cool project but it’s just designated as a work truck. That’s one of my older videos it now has 266,000 miles on it and counting, so until the 4 cyl blows up there won’t be any mods lol
@@WestHillsRides what about the 4.3? I have a 2002 blazer with 150000 miles on it and is still strong but I'm a little concern about the auto trans I don't know how long will last
I have a chevy s10 98, since 2008 with 106,000 miles .
It's been with me for 16 years 213 k miles, ,I love it. Easy to fix it.

I like these gen 2 S10's and even the early Colorados' with the 5 banger, both are very solid!!
If they are taken care of, they are definitely great little trucks! I just posted a video of it reaching 300,000
I have a 98’ Chevy S10 4.3L V6 With 113k miles, body is great and has auto windows lol, love it!

Great to see these lil trucks are still running! I have a ‘99 S10 with 87k original miles and I can relate to you with it being gutless lmao!
I have a 2003 chevy s-10 zr2 and i love it rins great and does well in the snow in the winter this is my 3rd s-10
Thanks for this!
S10s for life

thubb6 it would be perfect for that, just don't beat on it and it will do exactly that for years to come, plus parts are plentiful.
Thinking about a 2000 Isuzu Hombre.
filoIII it's the exact same truck, kinda hard to find though so that would be cool
Found a 2000 model Hombre 5 speed for $2400. 148k mi. Supposedly a good truck. IDK.
Check it out good, take it for a ride, as long as u don't beat it and rev the pants on it, they are good solid little trucks. This one has 244,000 miles on it now and just put a clutch in it over the weekend.
It got up to 50 decently. Runs out of onions after 50 mph
I like the video but you should probably blurr out your tag on the videos
Thanks glad u enjoyed it, and I'm not too worried about my tag being in the video.
Why? It's out in public all the time.
Somebody should do a towing video with the 2.2 s10 I have yet to see one on TH-cam
That's because they dont tow lol
The West Hills Life yeah they do I found it on the owners manual
@@angelcolin51 well yeah they have the capability from factory, I meant it as a joke being the 2.2 S10 is slow as frozen molasses, especially climbing PA Hills with the A/C on lol
You can tow really heavy loads as long as you're only going downhill. 🤣 hopefully you can stop 😆

@@WestHillsRides wow, that's some miles. I have a 95 5 speed with 225k. What to look out for and do you get a little ticking sound?
your door is loose.... its been wedged or something. i can see it shaking separately from everything else
Why does yours start so slow is it to to age or just bad spark plugs and ignition coils ?
I got a 00 s10 2.2 with 137know I’m at 139k I like it :)
Is the truck still driving and if so how many miles? Just picked up a garage kept one owner 96 s10 extended cab 2.2liter 5 speed with 82,000 miles on it. Such a clean truck in and out

Put a 2 step launch control on it!!!
There's only 3 options when launching this truck, falling on its face, burning the clutch, or severe wheel hop lol
I’m thinking about buying one, how is it on gas?

Agree
