Thoughts on the Chevrolet S10 Super Sport?

I’m leaning towards a retro look with some vintage-style alloys. However, when it comes to upgrades, I can’t promise it won’t end up costing me an arm and a leg!

I’ve owned a Chevrolet S10 Super Sport for five years now. Overall, it’s been pretty reliable. However, I’ve noticed some common issues with the transmission, especially if you push it hard.

What kind of maintenance tips do you have? I’ve been thinking about taking better care of mine as I plan to keep it for a while.

Definitely keep an eye on the cooling system. A friend had trouble when the radiator started leaking. Those are common issues with older models, but pretty manageable with regular checks.

Good to know! How much do replacement parts generally cost if I need to do repairs?

Replacement parts can vary, but generally, they are reasonably priced. I’ve replaced a few components, and the total for maintenance over the years isn’t too high, especially considering the reliability ratings.

I’ve always found it humorous how many people think the S10 is just a regular truck. They don’t realize it’s actually quite sporty! Try taking a corner with some speed, you’ll be impressed.

Right? It’s like a compact truck that packs a punch! Would you say it’s worth it for long-distance driving?

For long rides, it’s decent, but I’ve encountered some vibration issues past a certain speed. Just be sure to check alignment; it can make a big difference in comfort!

Is that something I can do myself, or do I need a pro to look at it? I don’t want to mess it up.
