Rockstar      I am contemplating getting an S-10 or S-15 as a
second/back-up vehicle and light hauling. Nothing fancy. Hoping
for a 4cyl, 5spd, long box. Any good years? Any bad years?
Looking for fuel economy and reliability. Thanks,Scott   2.

uncle had an 89' S-10 and he loved it, it ran forever I think it
had a V-6 if I remember. I have a 2001 S-10 with the 4.3 V-6
which is GM's smallest gas hog, I would be amazed if I got 16mpg
in my truck. When I bought mine I test drove a 2.2 and it had no
power what so ever, which is why I decided on the 6 cylinder. I
have had a couple expensive freak things happen to my truck, but
that could happen on any vehicle. Most of the S-10's I see have
a ton of miles, so good luck in finding one that's still in good
shape.   3. muddmonkey      muddmonkey Member      get a
