Its an '01 2.2L/5 speed with almost 168k on the clock. This truck and my black truck have less than 100 miles difference between them

Picked it up for less than $3k. Needs new tired like right now but that seems to be the most major thing at the moment. Gonna get a good once over on it done once I get my new tags and all that for it. Is there anything with these trucks to keep an eye out for? Im not familiar to the s-10 platform.

Thanks!

 

very nice! I've always wanted an extreme s10!

 

Thanks man, Im actualy supprised with how much room I have while driving it. Glad Im only 5'10" not any taller than 6 feet though lol.

 

V8 swap?

 

Nice dd. I had one with the v6, miss that little truck.

 

Looks lice a nice little turd to put around in!

I'm sure it has the same suspension up front as the Blazers, and I remember reading that they like eating balljoints. At least it has a 4 cyl so you don't have to worry about the rod bearings going bad like they do in the V6's.

 

Someday it might get a 4.8L/T67
Thanks man. It's got plenty of flaws on the outside but Ill slowly work on those once it gets warmer out.
Turd is right! Loves gettin rung out past 3k though.

Id have to read up on the suspension, but its gonna get a good looking over as soon as I get my tags for it. Hard to look underneath when the ground effect only sit like 5" off the ground haha.

 

I had a 97 SS S10; it was a blast to drive. My biggest problem was with the A/C. I bet I had that thing repaired 4 times. After 4 times, I gave up and just rolled with 2-80 air...

 

Very cool. Nice looking truck. Should be a great project/daily driver!

 

NICE! i have had couple s10 main problems i have seen/read is tranny (auto. mainly.. so your good there) and fuel pumps. seems like almost all have fuel pumps but usually they have a ton miles on them! haha those seem to be the main ones. of course notorious cab corner rust!
enjoy they are worth every penny imo
