    This truck is an excellent value, especially if you do routine maintenance yourself. Parts are inexpensive. I drove a 1996 S10 daily for about 15 years. Clocked 340,000 miles and it was still running when I sold her. Changed head gasket at 190K, 2nd engine at 295K. Drawbacks: 96 and earlier 2-bolt downpipe design kills gaskets prematurely and causes an exhaust leak. Fix is to get a header or exhaust manifold and 3-bolt downpipe from a later model. Need to drop the transmission to change the slave cylinder (happened @90K mi.). NV manual transmission is solid though. Clutch replaced twice. Headlight switch wears out so contacts get weak after constant use. My fix was to replace with toggles after replacing it twice. Currently drive a '92 Toyota and the S10 upholstery was more comfortable and the steel for the body is a thicker gauge. Both the 2.2L 4 cylinder and the 4.3 V6 Vortec are good reliable engines.

    Replaced it in 2014 with a '96 base Tacoma with 71K, and no first or third gear, for $400.
    The gearbox turned out to be an easy fix, but after 18+ years it did need brakes, shocks and eventually a clutch. But I'm not complaining. With only 84K on it now, It may outlast me!

    About that Q&A about a lean code, if you run too lean for too long you can cause irreparable or more expensive repairs later down the line. For starters, if it's really bad you might start overheating your engine. Down the line, you'll start burning pistons, exhaust valves and sometimes even heads (though that's more common in much older cars).
    A lean code could suggest a vacuum leak (which is what the mechanic that suggested an intake manifold gasket had in mind). In order to find that leak, spray brake cleaner around the air intake system until the engine revs up from sucking up the flammable gasses, then you'll know you're near the prime area.

    Having owned two 2nd-gen S-10s with that engine, I can tell you not only what they'll average for mileage (18.5 w/2200 & automatic) but the timing chain set should be replaced around 100k-mi., and should only bereplaced with the GM OEM set--using every piece included! (You really don't want to overlook the oil galley plug w/lubricating orifice)

    The 4.3L V6 in my friend's 2000 Sonoma lasted him well over 225,000 miles, and those numbers aren't even that impressive compared to the ones some people have had. The startup issue could just be a dirty throttle body. Those old Chevy trucks and W body cars were notorious for starting and dying like that and having to give them gas.

    My brother gave his 1975 Chevy Luv pickup to my Dad. My Dad wanted more power so I installed a sbc with a 350th and a 9" rear. My Dad was picky and wanted the factory gauges to work. Using brass threaded plugs, I drilled the centers for the metric sensors and the gauges worked.

      Commercial Isuzu trucks still use General Motors motors for their gas motors. Our company has a 2015 Isuzu 4500box truck with a GM 6.0 V- 8. Fast truck for a HD work vehicle, but they dont seem like the build quality is there. BTW, had to replace the 6 speed automatic @ 130,000 miles, cost around $5000 for a rebuilt transmission to be installed, typical GM.

Approach. I always say I drove junk, I know what that is...I'm still wrenching, mostly on neighbors cars. They are amazed, but I tell them, hey it's still a car, and the basic things I learned still apply.. electronics although help on more complex problems. The problem is still basic. My ex bought a new 88' 300 zx 2+2, and it had a horrible rumbling noise, went to 6 dealers, had the car 13 wks, changed everything except tires, ive seen this problem and said change the tires, the dealer said no ...they finally got the car back, and bought a 87 Maxima.

    Many Isuzu transport about 2.5 Tonnes everyday even though that the factory mention that they should not exceed 1.2 Tonnes as max transported weight
    They are so popular at the point that we have in Tunisia a factory of assembling isuzu that it has never satisfied the demand we have to wait for about 6 months to buy one, and people import them from SAUDI ARABIA it is better than waitibg for 6 months or more ....

    Another thing to check for on the rumbling noise on the Acura RDX is, check underneath the vehicle and make sure the front air dam has not come loose from bumping a curb or something. Once you get up to interstate speed ,just the air flowing around it will cause it to vibrate. Make sure all plastic pieces are secure to the vehicle.
