- In this video I give a full in depth tour and test drive of the 1997 Chevrolet S10 5 speed. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this car while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it sounds under acceleration. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

This view is great, you can see the footwork, shifting, steering, and all at the same time whilst having a sense of speed as things fly passed the windows. great job!!
5:08. Anyone else find the sound of that upshift as satisfying as I did?
I have a ‘95 with the 2.2. It sat for seven years. We replaced the fuel pump and it ran smooth as molasses. Keep the vids coming!
2:36 exactly why I absolutely despise those shift knobs.
When I get my hands on a five speed s10 it'll have the Hurst ball shifter my dad has the t-handle on his Jeep and had issues with it
And those floor mats...barf-out!
My 94 has a regular ball for the shift knob... pre-face lift difference I guess.
Didn’t even notice that lmfao
@Andrew Gates son of a gun it’s a FORD RANGER
I bought one new, lots of memories, mostly, no heat, fuel gauge problems. Definitely built character, not that I needed it.
Agree, like a old school pick up
Justin P. so do i
I just got one the heat and air don't work and suspension is shot the fuel tank has a leak the electrical will catch on fire sometimes and my parking brake is a 2x4 I keep in the bed and you have to hit the ignition with a hammer before it will start
@@zachferguson8968 how much did you pay for that xD
@@tylerfrankel5374 it was free lmao put 8,000 miles on it sold it for $800 I call it a win
I have the same truck, and I must admit, the sound of the engine and stock exhaust is quite something special. I've never heard the (rotation type sound it makes) in any other car or truck!
The 2.2 was definitely one of the better sounding 4 cylinders for sure
I’m not sure what rotation type sound you mean?
I miss these types of vids
Dolphinsfan771 same here.
Dolphinsfan771 me too
Same 😢 the videos will never be the same
i got an s-10 last year for my first car too. its a great truck dude
I own a 2002 S10 Sport with the 2.2 Liter..I put 18×9 IROCZ Chrome on aluminum wheels with P255/55 Goodyears on rear & P245/55 on front..I had Magnaflow Mufflers with Split Exhaust twice piped underneath the rear bumper..it's got 110,000 original miles put on by me..Rust Free Bought from O'Reilly Chevrolet
Tucson, Arizona 🏜
Ive had this truck since 96 and never left me walking has over 300k runs great just needs a battery.
have you ever pulled a quad with it? can you put a quad on the back?
@@567Kriss look up which one your looking at look up it’s box dimensions, then look up your quad dinensions
yeah ride that clutch like you own it
Yeah I noticed how much he was riding it.
Coffeelips it’s always good to let your foot rest on that clutch pedal like u own it to
kamryn G I hope to god you are being sarcastic.
DestruxandExploze what do u think? Mechanics gotta make money some how
make sure to let off all the way when you shift too
I had an identical one that was red. I loved that truck, but that buzzer drove me insane!!
I have a working AC too, its called a window.

vince creeed that’s the right way to do it
That same engine was also used in the Chevrolet Cavalier, of which I had a '97 year model once. On top of that, mine had the 3-speed automatic. All in all, it's not the worst engine out there.
Also, the exhaust on that truck sounded very nice! I wish my old Cavalier did that, lol.
just get rid of the dexos coolant and they're solid.
1:15 I swear to got that sounds like a 350 starting up
Yeah the starter does
Yeah but then you just hear the puny 2.2
I've owned 3. Great little trucks, no real mechanical issues. My advice: 5 Speed over the Automatic (especially in the 2.20 Four). You need the gear selection to keep the right power band, automatics lug it down. Second: Stick with the 2.20 - Four with the 5 Speed. Great gas mileage; over 20 around town; upwards 28+ highway. The 4.30 V-6 has plenty of power, but fuel economy suffers. In the little S-10, v-6 mileage is MINIMALLY better than a FULL SIZE CHEVY with the V-8. S-10 has good ride, handles well; easy to park; carries most needs of a pickup. Recommend the Extended cab if you can find one.
I had a 03 Sonoma with a 2.2 and a manual that was a extended cab and yeah it was the perfect daily driver minitruck and I miss it everyday I also learned how to drive manual in it
They're some of the most comfortable trucks on the road too
gotta say, that exhaust sounds healthy :O
Great video as always Kyle! Love those S10 trucks.
I love your shifting with the camera for 1st person. Thumbs up. I give you credit for that! YOU ROCK!!!
1:28 I like those old Chevrolet horns
looks like a lot of new vehicles on your lot.....i hope this brings lots of new test drives
Man my dad had a '98 gmc sonoma 5 spd 2.2. It was a great truck. It had over 240K miles when he sold it. Granted the exhaust sounded completely different and the interior was redesigned, but this is still really cool to watch :)
the vids just keep comming! great job kyle.
Here in South America we had that generation until 2012 with facelift, it was offered with a 2.4 141hp gasoline engine, the 2.2 with 110 a 2.5 Turbodiesel with 95hp only from 95' to 98' and since 98' to 2012 a indestructible 2.8 Turbodiesel MWM with 132hp or 140hp and 340nm since 2006.
Oh my...I so miss my Chevy S-10 PickUp Truck with the stick shift on the floor!!!
Really now? Did they ever come 3 on the tree?!... All stick shifts are on the floor unless its like 1950.
@@user-oz9sb3kf4u She was referring to NOT HAVING THE SLOWER AUTOMATIC SHIFT ON THE COLUMN - OBVIOUSLY.
Kyle, I love the vids, Keep em comin, my friend my favorite video you had so far was the one with the 1979 Dodge lil Red Express, if you could tell me what kind of problems were on it, id be willing to buy it
@gentle285: you cannot shift into 5th gear anytime you want. If your speed isn't high enough, your top gear will drop the rpm of the engine below its power range and it will die out. You have to go through all the gears until your speed is high enough so that your top gear (5th or 6th on most cars) won't drop the rpm too much and then mentain your speed and that gear to achieve the best fuel economy. From my experience 60-70 mph and 6th gear will give you the best economy.
I used to have a 1992 s10 ext. cab,stick shift pretty sure a 6 cylinder was my favorite truck, then I had a 2000 s10 stick shift.. now I have a 1997 automatic I love s10 trucks look good for how cheap and easy to fix
i like this more relaxed-type reviews, keep em coming!
Thanks for informing us about that light indicator. I never knew a light came up when you had to shift when there isn't a RPM gauge.
it does but it's mostly worthless lmao
This truck has been lowered also, Kyle didn't mention it. You can see the drop shackles for the rear leafs.
i drove an automatic today for the first time in idk...5 months?? and i accidently left foot braked bc i thought i had to push in the clutch when i was coming to a stop.
nice video, like always
EVERY S10 COMES TACH READY WITH A TACH WIRE BEHIND THE GUAGE CLUSTER EVEN IF THE TRUCK DIDNT COME WWIHT A TACH THEY ALL HAVE THE TACH WIRE..
I have forgotten how that start sounds, I needed to change the starter and the new one is adapted from another truck is not the same :c, this made me get beautiful memories.
"Not necessarily for pulling..."
In both senses of the word? :)
I'm thinking of getting one of these in the future as a beater truck
Kyle, you must have been driving alot of manuals bro, you have gotten alot better at shifting.
Nice truck as well.
First video watched of 2018!
Even though it's not fast, you have to imagine, it'd be fun as hell to bang some gears with that truck.
This is my daily, lots of fun especially in the snow
Dan Clark yea i got one to but i would not say its fun in snow... maby for a couple skids then the 1 wheel drive open diff they all come with reallllly blows, u could get stuck in an inch if u dont keep your speed up
Chevyblock 550 it really is though, I have an '02 Sonoma (basically the same as this truck plus a tac) and the tires skip when you bang it into 2nd
I wouldn't mind having one of these with a 4 cylinder 5 speed.
Someguyto I have one that is white and I love that thing
Every time i hear the engine from them trucks it always reminds me of my grandpas 5 speed chevy s10 growing up. Now ive got a 5 speed 99 dodge dakota the sounds the exact same. And i absolutely love it. I just finally learned how to drive manual for the first time at 23 years of age. Always drove automatic my life. But now i honestly prefer manual over automatic. Ive drove 4 wheelers and dirt bikes with manual shifting but any car or truck was always automatic.
Saabkyle04: You may have already noticed this, but when you did the first person clips and you aimed the camera toward the windshield more directly, the lens started adjusting to the bright light and the glare issue actually began to go away somewhat.
I just thought I'd say that.
I like all the videos you do! They don't have to be bran new Mercedes, I like the variety in your videos.
Nice love the s10 keep it up man
s10s are some of the smoothest shifting trucks ever!
What kind of exhaust system does it have ? Sounds great ...
thanks terry that's exactly what I been hearing
YEA I KNOW WAT YOU MEAN BUT YOU CAN PUT A TACH IN IT LIKE I DID MY S10, BECAUSE WEATHER OR NOT AN S10 HAS A TACH ITS EASY TO INSTALL BECAUSE EVERY SINGLE S10 COMES FROM THE FACTORY WITH A TACH HOOK UP WIRE IN THE CLUSTER EVEN IF THEY DONT HAVE A TACH, SO YOU CAN GET AN OHM METER AND FIND TEH WIRE THAT IS FOR A TACH HOOK UP AND SPLICE IT AND TAP YOUR TACH INTO THAT WIRE AND THERE YA GO YOU GOT A TACH THATS HOOKED UP JUST LIKE A FACTORY ONE WOULD. 'CUZ EVERY S10 COMES WIHT A TACH HARNESS
You can see how much better you've gotten at driving a manual, especially after watching the nissan sentra vid from 2008.
You're the 76# most viewed in the world again today!!! Nice.
That's who I bought mine from, cleanest truck I can find anywhere.
Nice you just gave me a lesson of how to drive a manual car. Thanks Kyle
Minus resting the foot on the clutch. You'll wear out the clutch much faster.
Pretty nice shiftings now, nice job :) Just a quick note: you could shift to 5th gear anytime you want. Actually, it is recommended to always use the highest gear to achieve better fuel economy. Great video.
Eh kinda as someone who drives one of these you can use fifth as fourth but the truck doesn't like it much lol
Two things I remeber (apar there was a review on Popular Mechanics)...
The bundled cassette with tips.
Also, shift pattern is not straight, remembersme some VW.
Anyone remembers?
Everyone is thinking wtf are you talkin bout with the shift patter... Now im googling vehicle with strait shift patter...
do you know of what exhaust system was on that truck
Wow, I've heard the 2.2 was slow but... damn, that was a case of "lots of noise =/ no forward movement"
It's not meant to be fast....
Fair enough, I would just think that's not een enough power to haul things around. Especially when you have Tacomas and Frontiers breathing down your neck.
Just Here For The CZcams the 4.3l v6 has like 250 ft lbs of torque though and is rated for towing 5600 lbs but I actually have towed about 6000 with mine.
i just did a run to the scrap yard in my 03 s10 2.2L 5 speed with the box loaded to the top of the rails with brake rotors. she got the job done
Torque... not hp.... its a truck dude. Its made to small light things like a couch or even an engine.
Kyle, your videos are well made, enjoyable to watch, and provide me with endless entertainment. Thank You so much for what you with your videos. Much luck in the future.
these trucks are really nice and lots of fun. just doesn't handle quite as well as some other small pickups.
I have the 4.3 1997 ZR2 (3 inch lift factory, power windows, locks, automatic).
Drives great. I test drove a older (91 body style) 2.8 VERY SLOW compared to the 4.3
yea i have the tbi as well. ive revved it out a couple times and it just takes off pretty well. i dont all the time though cause gas. too much nowadays. cant wait till the winter snow, do some drifting. mines got about 81,xxx miles on it too
My older brother has a truck like this one, except his is an automatic and it has the 4.3 L V6. Also the AC in his doesn’t work either. That was a pretty common problem with the S tens between 94 and about 98 or so.
I got a 2.2 automatic. It's a good truck, little beat up, but it was used out on a pasture. Except for that runs great, some little work needs to be done. But overall great truck.
Nice vid man, you're are like a pro at driving a manual now! I always love watching your vids, especially the one where you feature a manual car and test drive it. Keep up the good work.
If the car is on, and you are in park, then you aren't in gear, yet you shake the manual checking if it's in gear, you do that BEFORE you start the car, you can actually launch the car into buildings and cars and SHET like that if you don't check before hand.
1:37 stylish shift knob?
So im buying a chevy s10 "97 .. im excited about it. However i dont know how to drive Manual. So im watching this video and it doesnt appear to be difficult. I noticed wen ur shifting gears ur foot is still on the gas pedal. now do i release the gas pedal slightly or fully when shifting?
the 1994-2004 Chevrolet S10 was assembled in
Shreveport, Louisiana
Linden, New Jersey
São José dos Campos, Brazil
Sounds good for a 4 cylinder.
My friend how you adjusted the clutch put it 1 first it to Dow car got off need to coming out little be more up tray to find where- the obd cant find it to my first truck S10 manual thank you b much let me know any one know do it
@talldude123 GEO was GM's import re-badge brand. AKA Toyota, Suzuki, isuzu. so only the prism(corolla) had 2 airbags Also, since that truck was designed in or around 91 thats why only the 1 airbag (only 1 year after it was required to have 1 airbag in all cars(1995ish) . It got 2 when it was redesigned. BTW it wasn't that long ago when there were only those motorized shoulder belts. GM actually had the first airbags in the 70's years ahead of its time. while taking 8 yrs to redesign a car
Kyle I like this view better than from the back seat. It's more like driving it. Just a suggestion. Great videos!!
Andrew Perry I agree! This truck does not have a backseat though sadly.
for terryrds or anyone that knows, which is better for saving gas.. the automatic or the manual
If you pull the shifter out of gear without the clutch you should blip the throttle to unload the gears
It's possible, but it takes a lot of time and a lot of money. In your case I wouldn't suggest doing a conversion, only because of how common your truck is and its actual worth. What I mean by this is, it would probably be cheaper, and definitely way more easier to go out and buy another single cab 2.2L S10 with a manual transmission than it would be to convert your current truck.
hey do a test drive of a 1987 chevrolet caprice classic with a 305 v8 loaded power windows locks and mirror power seats power lumbar tape player mint shape no rust or damage runs drives like a new car and only 274,218 miles on it
ride the clutch enough
will this truck with the 2.2l engine be sufficient enough to pull a small trailer with a single jet ski on it?
This is the video that made me decide to buy another S10
It made me want to fix mine
Just detailed a 1998 s10 today extended cab
I like this camera angel because I can see how you shift and your feet
I'd love to have this.
@gentle285: yeah, try shifting in 5-th after you just pulled away in 1st and watch how your engine cuts out.
Realmente la camioneta más linda creada jamás...
Si eso es verdad
@djfrankyv1 is it because he is keeping his foot on the clutch pedal even when he isn't shifting?
i am a though and though Ford guy buy i love the look of this truck . Damn where i come from thats rare to find in that kinda shape
i have a 97 s10 5speed 2.2 but it has a stock shifter. the throw is a little to long for my liking-if anyone knows where i can get a short throw shifter for this car, please let me know -its smt im rly interested in.
@XceSS47
Isn't it hard on the clutch and drive train? I shift from 4th to 5th around 90 km/h
What is the exact shifter that was in this truck
i like that s10
lol! you could make a "how to drive a stick shift" video by using your driving. its a perfect camera angle, this little truck will make someone happy!
@codrinseth15 my mom's 2003 yaris (1L engine) can go 20 MPH in 5th gear... And my instructer's Honda jazz/fit could do it. The engine will only stall if you stop without using the clutch, or if you start in a high gear (1st and 2nd works the best). My mom's car will wobble and struggle if you put it in 5th at about 10 MPH (I've tried it) but above that, it won't stall whatever gear you're in.
Was y’all intwined with car connection in Shelby ?
I've noticed that most 5 speed S10s I've ever seen don't have a tach. And every automatic S10 I have seen does. I have a 94 S10 5 speed with no tach. It doenst matter though. If you can really drive a standard you don't need a tach. However, if you feel you need one. At least 94 models and up that I know of, have a light on the cluster that tells you when to shift up.
If the clutch is pushed in, no gears are engaged, so coasting to a stop is just fine.
@codrinseth15 Shift into 5th after the first gear? What are you talking about?
@MrLagunaChris a lot of it has to do with the engine design. most engines ur referring to with low hp/liter are push rod(OHV) engines. These don't get a lot of hp for their displacement but they're generally smaller and lighter than a similar displacement DOHC engine. Obviously these are generalizations, and you'll most likely find exceptions to this but that's a big part of the reason why.
Wow! It’s pretty rare to find a mid 90s GM vehicle with working AC. My dad had a 94 S-10 extended cab, and I think he must’ve had it in the shop at least five times for the AC. He eventually gave up on it because the warranty ran out. I don’t think it was until 98 or nine when GM finally had a lot of those issues resolved.
I bought my 97 as a commuter and the a/c was broke, only a leaking line and now that its replaced and recharged it blows cold!
5sp with no tachometer is so strange
@@marc96accord Not on a base model it’s not.
Hey bro how did you install the b&m shifter knob on it?
If you want quick acceleration get the HO4.3.
i own a 1998 Chevy s10 LS 5 speed its my first car and i love it. i think you should do a video on a 1998 Chevy s10 LS 5 speed.
Hello what exhaust system is that. It sounds great
