the s10 lineup is KNOWN for being crappy, and breaking, i wouldn't drive that if they gave it to me.....

 

[TheRookie]

I also think the S dime stuff is bad news, THat and I think this belongs in a different part of this forrum

 

[metstalker]

personally i had a s10 blazer 1988 and loved every miniute of it.. there were alot of small problems because its age but other then that it was mechanically sound with a 4.3L no big tranny problems it was faster then the 4.0......

 

[metstalker]

yep thats a 4.3 i can tell by looking at it. GOOD Engine

 

[TheRookie]

4.3 would be a good engine if the CPI didnt suck so bad

178,000 miles on an S-10 is the end of it's life...

i had a 93 s10 4x4 p/u. with 3 1/2" of lift and 31's on it. it had the 4.3 but it was pathetically slow. absolutely no power. y? i dunno... my stock x out performed it in every possible way. the s10's have really weak front ends on them. u'd never want to put a locker in it and certainly wouldn't want bigger than 33's absolute tops. i tore mine up with 31's. so i wouldn't even considere 33's. it was reliable maintainance wise other than the front end but sucked in every other way... compared to my x atleast. it would've been quite nice if u swapped in a straight axle, gears/ lockers, lift tires etc... fairly stock it was pretty bad though.

No comment.

I didnt read the description but from just looking at the pics it looks like an automatic with a huge tack and shift light. Ummm just from that I wouldnt even think about buying that truck.

 

[Rhett]

One thing about it, the truck is in Issaquah which is fairly close to you. I'd go look at it, just to see if it was a bondo queen or not...

 

[hatched91]

you've got some balls. you're considering buying a chevy and your talking to a bunch of ford guys! anyways, sounds like a hell of a deal. Already completelty built and off road ready. I had a 4.3L V6 in my silverado and it broke down several times. I had a lot of trouble with it, but then again it was old.

 

[CodePoet]

For the same money you could build your explorer to be more capable than that...in my opinion. I had a 91 s-10, by far the worst vehicle i ever had, i honestly was not impressed and I do not necessary bleed ford blue. That's just me...

Haha! So true! I never liked Blazers/Jimmys. Doesn't look like a bad deal but he's pretty much admitting the transmission needs a rebuild.

 

[DeRocha]

Well someone (agilbert68) just bought it for $3,750.00...

 

[TheRookie]

I cant believe that thing sold for that much. WAY more than its worth.

Anyway I also do not bleed ford blue. However for the cost I do agree that you could build a much better explorer than that thing.

 

[FireZapper]

I had an 89 poS-10 blazer....2 distributors, powersteering pump, front axle wouldn't disengage (valve in the tcase). Man lots wrong with the poS-10

There's one born every minute...

 

[F14CRAZY]

If I'm right, they have the 700R4. So you'd have a better tranny than the A4LD
