My old S-10 did have 376,00 highway miles on it, so I knew that some day it would expire. But I was proactive because it is a stick shift 2001 extended cab with a four banger that runs like the day it was new. Still does but only in first gear. I always used synthetic oil and anything it needed for optomum performance and longevity. After much thought, I put new tires on it last December. They did add-on stems that look like curb feelers to up the ani. Then in April the truck started making a grinding noise. I brought it in on the 25th of May and told the girl at the counter that I had a noise and waving my hand beside me added "about here where the carrier bearings are". A young mechanic took it out for a drive and exclaimed that he knew just what it was. So I walked the store for couple of hours and retrieved the truck so I could get back top work. They said it was the wheel bearings. Busy, but with the noise still present, the carrier bearing went out four days later in Pekin as I upshifted from 2nd to 3rd. I had it brought back and a private mechanic installed a new one, but the trans mission has also failed by the violence of the failure. Mack's will get it when I have time to deal with it. Gee thanks.
