I bought my '99 S10 Blazer from my grandparents after my grandma hit a deer with it. Sat for about 8 years before I decided I didn't want to see it go off to the junkyard. I bought it, hauled it home, and spent the summer pulling parts from the donor '99 and from a 2000 Bravada in the scrapyard for body panels, and she had 58k miles on the clock when I bought her in 2018. She's turning 25 in about 2 weeks now, February 10. 73k miles and counting, hoping to get many more years out of her.

Hi, I bought a 1983 chevy s10 pickup about 6 months ago. The original owner, a farmer and mechanic, ordered it from the factory in 1982. He had 3 trucks, and used this one for going into town.. when he died, his daughter inherited it..she gave it to her son in the last year of high school. He blew the head gasket. They had just repainted it, put new tires on it and re-did the exhaust system. Its gorgeous, silver w an aluminum tool box on the bed. Best of all, it only has 69,004 original miles on it ! Once the head gasket is repaired and the carburetor.. I am going to sell it. I am in Charlotte NC. How do o go about getting the best price ? Thank you..haven't done it before and hoping for some advice.

Curtis Mcquiston super fuckin cool that even after the first time, you didn’t give up. Hope it’s up and running man. Picked up a 1983 S10 Tahoe It’s an auto trans, but the deal was so fuckin good for how clean and low miles it is I couldn’t pass it up.

Loved my 95 s-10 extended cab with the jump seats in the back that I had from going into my jr. year of high school in 2005-2006 up until early 2011 when I regretfully sold it. 2 wheel drive with the 4.3. Was always kind of fun seeing the friends that didn't call shotgun get pissed about having to climb into the jump seats. Still to this day I still have a soft spot for s10s/Sonomas and if I had the extra money I'd gladly pick up one for a project.

I love how you guy's manage to find a video on almost every car you do an up to speed episode about jumping something.

[@eschelar]

Great episode. Very edutaining. I had an s15 back in the 90s with a massive propane tank and a 2.6L v6 that drank oil like Amy wine house drank "beverages". Dude who sold it to me was an ex semi truck driver and had some old leaf springs installed that made the thing ridiculous. I could take a full two yards of dirt. And it had a lo final drive reduction gear too, so it was shit on the highways, but badass for hauling. Awesome little beater truck. Still remember when my dad took it down to buy some dirt and they said it would probably only take half a yard. He put in half a yard and the back end dropped about half an inch. The guy dumping dirt did a Keanu "woah" and put the full yard in. Maybe an inch and a half drop. So he threw another yard on there and it brought it down to normal "ass height". For an s10. Hahaha. Turns out they used a full on half ton chassis for the truck, so the chassis was just fine with a little pressure.

Another fun fact about the S10 Chassis use: The original design lifespan of the Grumman LLV specified by the U.S. Postal Service was 24 years, but in 2009 this was extended to thirty years. The body and final assembly is by Grumman, and the chassis (based on the 1982 Chevrolet S-10 Blazer) is made by General Motors, with the powerplant (2.5L I-4 TBI "Iron Duke" and, in later production, General Motors 2.2L I-4 iron block/aluminum head engine), instrument cluster and front suspension similar to those used in the Chevrolet S-10 pickup and S-10 Blazer sport utility vehicle.

[@Thundarr995]

@@Chente-27 If you can't find a good Extreme you can just buy a 4.3L and put a 3.42 or 3.73 rear axle in it, buy a speedo recalibration module to fix the speedometer. The extreme has the same engine as any other. The extreme came with the 2.2L also. It's a pretty good engine but they're pretty slow. I had a 95 with the 2.2L and the head cracked twice. I think GM fixed the head cracking issue in 97. If you read my thread near the top I left a list of all the stuff I did to mine. I have spent some coin on it,but I really don't care because I'm probably never going to sell it. Buy one with good paint if you buy one and one that doesn't make any weird engine ticking noises. Sometimes the lifters are bad other times it's the timing chain. The 4.3L can last a long time if you keep the oil changed.

Sergio González Torres the story is simple. All these are rebadged Japanese trucks. Ford Ranger = Mazda B series Chevy S10 = Isuzu hombre/ Dmax Dodge Ram 50 = Mitsubishi L200 That’s it. Some of them used v6 American engines for the domestic Market but the basic and good ones used the Jap 4 bangers.

[@ulogy]

Let's not discuss Rams. They're not doing so hot in the legend department anymore (Quality of mechanic components has dropped while a focus on interior as arrived with a greatly raised price point.)

[@no_4259]

Eulogy they can talk about them just like they talked about the new Jeep Cherokee. They simply should ignore these and instead talk about the original models. Idk, maybe from the start of the Dodge D and W series pickups and later the creation of the model Ram to the V-10 monster ram to all the times they been used for competitions. It could make an interesting video, but they should omit the new rams. They are no longer what a ram should be.

ive had 6 s10s. 2 were iron dukes, one with the 4 speed manual. i had a 2.2l 5 speed and a 4.3l 4l60e. and then there was her. the 1994 chevy s10 with a first gen tbi 4.3l and an nv3500 5 speed manual. the 94 5 speed 4.3l was hands down the best truck out of all of them, even counting the fact the other 4.3l truck was 4x4 with a 3.73. the 94 manual truck with under 2000 of engine upgrades, the trans being built, and the upgrade from the 3.08 to a 3.42 locker meant i was dusting things with stock-ish small block swaps, small turbo build honda with maybe 330hp, and a cammed 2002 ls1 camaro with a six speed. the truck continued to make it to 199,000 miles before i parked it with a blown trans, my only major repair that i ever needed. i cant tell you how hard i abused that thing, but it made it through 6 long, hard, domestic violence style years of abuse, i stopped counting the amount of burnouts i did with the thing after it was finished and driving let alone before the trans and rear end. all while getting 16mpg city and 27 highway. if you can pick up a 2nd gen s10 94-96 with the tbi 4.3l in it, paired to the nv3500 5 speed, i promise the truck wont let you down. ive owned crown vics, ive owned toyotas, ive owned a honda civic, and even a 4.9l 5 speed f150. that 94 s10 was still the best all around vehicle ive ever owned, counting reliability, fun, comfort, and price.
