| This is an LS version of the S-10, very few of these were converted by Solectria. It has about 15,500 miles on it. The truck was originally an Arizona truck so it has absolutely no rust. When I bought it, it had 12 dead Hawker batteries and about half the Arizona desert in it. After a substantial bath, it started looking like a truck again. The batteries were a wash as well. New Dominators and a little re-wiring got me into a really nice truck. UPDATE: It's been almost a year and over 5,000 miles and going strong. No serious problems, only a loose wire that caused a dead truck. Traced the wire and no problems since. What a TRUCK! UPDATE: It's been 2 years now and over 10,000 miles. Still running great. This is a daily driver. | |||||||
