Faults:

Exhaust manifold leak.

General Comments:

This is the best small truck ever built, the 2.4 engine is bullet proof. this is the third one I've had. the first one got totaled, the second, I sold to a friend and the third (extra cab) I have now. for all you who wonder why it stalls when you punch it on the freeway, it's because the intake / exhaust modules on the left fender (toward the front) have failed, they are usually black in color. I got replacements at the wrecking yard, (be careful, although there are two, one is specifically for the intake, the other for exhaust. great truck, they just keep on running, well over 200,000 miles.

Faults:

I bought the truck in 2000 for 2 grand. On the test drive, the clutch went out. That was a sign saying don't buy me! After the owner replaced the clutch, we bought it.

Drove it for 40,000 miles. One day decided to go on a hunting trip, and was traveling up this hill, and the truck lost all of its performance. 30 miles from home; decided to drive it all the way there. The truck hardly idled, ran really rough. When we got home, 3 days worth of pulling the intake off and the exhaust manifold, and then the head to check if it was a head gasket. Came to see it was the number 3 piston; half of it was missing; I was running on three cylinders.

After that I decided to put a motor in for $2,300. 2,000 miles later the tranny went; there's another $2000.

OK, so after that is all said and done, electrical problems!! Went through 3 alternators in 4 months. Took it to a shop, and one of the wires on the plug that plugs into the back of the alternator was snipped. Had that soldered back together.

A couple days after everything was squared away, I had just got done adjusting the brakes, and was going to a party, and the driveway was steep down hill and gravel. My brakes locked up, and I slid right into a big tree, imprinting my license number on it. 300 dollars in body damage, and I was on my way again.

Now I'm trying to sell it. It's been through a lot, but I think it's time for someone else to take over the throne.
