I am the second owner of this 98s10 Chevy. It has been in and out of shop since I bought this damn thing! Right now has been sitting I am a older lady now, just trying to get it running now it had a new alternator and has had a starter, spark plugs and a brand new battery..I need this vehicle and I know that it should last longer than this... Come on Chevrolet what happened?????????
Not a huge deal for anyone mechanically inclined. I know this happens on these engines all the time as my father used to own a 1996 GMC Jimmy with the same 4.3L V6, on which the alternator went just shy of 100,000 miles. Not too bad of a fix, took me about 15 minutes, and cost me $161.00 for an alternator at my local parts store. I work with cars, and I see this as one of the only major problems with these trucks. Like I said, not a huge deal, just a pain when you don't have much time to repair it.
