2003 Chevrolet S-10 Xtreme V6 Start Up, Exhaust, and In Depth Review

[@SteverRob]

Most of the Xtremes are gone now, a bone-stock one is even harder to find. Mine sat for 4 years but I managed to save it before it was too late. 244k, 4.3 5spd

[@Iloveracing2007]

But I found one

[@Sturmtruppe1917]

I found one bone stock back in 2018 when I was 15. It has a 4.3 Vortec v6 with cold air intake, 4 speed automatic, extended cab with fleet side bed, and black paint with gold stripes. Barely any rust on the frame or chassis. It was my first vehicle and I still have it today. I take care of it because they’re becoming more and more rare with each passing year.

[@ec6933]

[@patspina707]

I got an 01 xtreme and I friggin love it. The 4.3l vortec is a good motor. Im putting dual flowmaster super44s on it and a cold air intake cant wait.

[@Jasonrotfl]

CAI has no benefits and the filter fills up faster than a factory one which restricts airflow and you lose power. Not to mention the don't filter the air anywhere as good.

[@patrickturner1575]

Jasonrotfl So why sell them? They do nothing? Car guys aren't idoits.

[@Jasonrotfl]

Patrick Turner Multiple studies have shown that oem air boxes are better and people buy them because they believe all the fancy graphs on the side saying they will gain 15 HP and increase torque.

[@synthetic509]

I noticed a difference with my CAI, but I put a throttle body spacer as well and later got the Hypertech power programmer. It really woke it up. Also, I lived 2 miles up a dirt road for 2 years with it and never had any issues with my filter clogging. I've got CAIs on other vehicles too and no problems. BTW it was a 2001 Blazer Xtreme 5spd. It really scooted along for a Blazer lol

[@Shadow0fd3ath24]

I'm THAT guy... the programmer is what gave you the gains. a simple tune will give you 20hp

[@derrickprowx]

I have an 03 Xtreme. Still going strong. Rebuilding her from the ground up just because. 101k miles, my first car purchased with 16 miles on the odo.

[@idontlike101]

Yea my exterior and interior is horrible lol but the engine just runs so amazing, it picks up really well and hauls like nothing, man GM sure put good work in to them

[@blitzkrieg634]

And so a legend was born on KZbin.

[@achm3d]

Yes finally a video, and its got the XTREME package!!!! Gotta love that XTREME marketing! lol It reminds me of a deleted Family Guy scene in the episode where Joe walked again. I take it you were in the OBX for the beach? I agree it was a deserved vacation because you've been busy Kyle but KZbin has been so boring and lonely this past week with no new tours :( I don't care about what those channels with millions of subscribers are doing THIS is more satisfying to watch for me!

[@pskittle488]

Great vid, Kyle. Good to see you back "on the air" after a, I'm sure well deserved, vacation. One thing to note, you didn't demo the rear jump seat, located on the passenger rear panel. Otherwise it's good to see you back and also entertaining to watch all the viewers make thier silly comments. I think the comments are sometimes almost as interesting as the vid. Keep up the good work, Kyle!

[@nihalanth]

You get the body kit, the lowered and very stiff zq8 suspension, the unique wheels, and a choice from striping, the "HEAT" graphics, or nothing at all. ive had a '99 xtreme since 2001. I was 19 when I got it. chevys goal was to attract younger buyers with this model, it worked. the best thing about all s10's is how easy it is to drop a 350, or many various v8 platforms. they literally drop right in with almost not modifications at all. great trim for a v8 swap tho, no appearance mods needed.

[@dynastyman09]

You said "Flareside", but that is the term that Ford uses for its similar bed styling. Chevy's term for that particular style of truck bed is "Stepside", as opposed to "fleetside" (the other styling option available for the s10)

[@jamesappello386]

Felix Hernandez sport side is the correct term

[@IKhanNot]

Our 96 Blazer had 266k when we sold it. The rest of the vehicle wasn't all that but it was one hell of a workhorse and that 4300 ran perfect. Only thing it was a bitch to change the plugs and wires so we made sure we used good ones so we never had to do that again.

[@derekp4975]

The other sides got a jump seat not a storage pocket

[@gmman010983]

I love the dashboards in the GM trucks of that era very simple and easy to work on...Much better to me than that Colorado that replaced it....

There are 4 wheel disc brakes. The s-10's have a weird bulge behind the wheel that look like drum brakes at first, but if you look closer there are disc brakes.

[@DeFreshS10]

The S10 Extreme has a different, more aggressive, cam shaft than the regular 4.3. This can be seen by the VIN code "W" versus the VIN code "X" in the 8th spot i believe.

[@bittexas6318]

DeFreshS10 interesting

[@joshmatthiesen4552]

Wrong lol. The w means it's a 4.3. Nothing on the vin says if it's an xtreme only the RPO codes tell you

[@jasonzantizo7660]

+toyoscio why lol

[@jasonzantizo7660]

+SWRTY do they have manual tranmissions too?

[@Fuffcat]

+Jason Zantizo he JUST said in the video 12 city 17 highway. i have a single cab stepside xtreme (shorter than the one in the video), 2 seater manual transmission with the 4.3 vortec and the g80 locker differential. i've managed 21 mpg as my all time BEST. average is around 19 mpg. even when coasting hills and shutting off.

[@Fuffcat]

since commenting, i now average 22mpg. i started shifting as follows:CalypsoNotch408 1st gear to 10mph 2nd gear to 15mph 3rd gear to 20mph 4th gear to 30mph 30+mph = 5th gear. the cuplrit: american driving habits. i never shift beyond 1300 rpm. 1500 when im being "average" (as in, shitty driver). we have lead foots. but it also depends how deep you push the pedal. you cant just jerk it around and expect good mileage. the injectors are dump happy. i push the pedal less than a quater inch down to get it moving. i used to push at one quater to half way down. its all in the driving. on the highway, our trucks are at peak efficiency based on aerodynamics at 60mph. and in 5th gear doing 60 the whole way, my foot is still only a quater inch pushed. (like, barely touching the pedal). anything beyond 60mph is greatly diminishing efficiency as our trucks are beyond the point of least wind resistance for it's size, weight, and shape.

[@graverookie]

What are the stepside xtremes called? Is it the same name for both stepside and fleetside? How much do the stepsides usualy cost used?

[@Immad1337]

200hp and 200lbs of torque isn't good enough for a stock minitruck? Okay... lol Just because the speedo reads 100 doesn't mean the truck is only capable of 100.

[@koolskater30]

i dunno about you guys and i know these comments are old but I can't seem to find a decent one for under 7k with relatively low miles here in socal. even if it isn't an extreme, one with a v6 auto goes for 5-6k here. but one major plus in socal is not having to deal with rust so I guess we pay for it.
