I have an 1989 S-10 2.8 5 speed trans 232,532 miles engine never been into runs good,no oil added between changes at 4,000 miles,gets 30 mpg

In my opinion, one of the best vehicles ever made by Chevy.
My '91 v6, 5 speed had 117,000 miles when I handed it over to my son. He drove it for another 20,000.

pos 98 2.2. nickles and dimes to death, plus bad tranny, head gasket and cat converter. only 90,000 miles and i put 50 of them on, AND I DRIVE IT LIKE A GRANDPA!!!!!

98 s-10 2wd ext. cab. Has 220,000 highway miles. Replaced fuel pump at 68,000, water pump at 205,000, wiper control module cover thingie at 96,000. So far no trouble with engine (4.3) or tranny (auto). Was able to move seat back 2.5 inches and now have far more room for my 6'5", 350# carcass than a full size chevy P.U. I wonder how far it will go. Few of my cars have died of natural causes(usually seem to crash the good ones).

My 91 sonoma 2.8 5spd. has 315xxx with no internal parts being touched. Changed the original clutch out at 302xxx and still coulda got more outta it but the throw out bearing was gone. Just changed out a few electronic and mechanical parts (EGR, cap/rotor, TPS, ect.) in the last 15xxx though it just started acting up just the other day due to a code 33 and 34 high an low voltage reading from the MAP sensor when it warms up and drove a while. Still runs smooth from idle to the highway til it starts acting up.

91 S-10 Blazer 4.3L 114000 miles got it just below 100k. Replaced Serpentine belt, Water Pump and exhauxt system. Still starts first try in the cold new england wintere time. :)

I had a blazer(still got the seat)my parents bought in '86. it was an '85 4x4 fully loaded. it actually said SIERRA on the glove box and I have yet to find where that package was available prior to '87. it was supposed to be a"dealer model" and after breaking the adjustable needle hanger in the carb I believed it. I dont believe GM ever "made" a dualjet with an adjustable main needle. anywho, ma and dad drove it for 6 years(120,000) and sold it to me after its first suck job engin rebuild(15,000 miles later). I......IIIIIeeee, built new motor for it, ported head and edlebrock headers, and began my journy toward multiple transmision replacements. I drove it for 10 years. never paid attention to the miles but put an average of 15k- 20k/year. did a valve job in 2000( intake was leaking coolant) and finally lost a rod bearing in 2002. I drove the last two years with the drivers side door jammed(broke,wedged, couldnt open)shut.
Its amazing how much you,ll apreciate decent ride

I had a 94 S-10 SLS W/4 cyl 5 speed, sold it in Aug 2005 with 310,000 miles for $1,400.00

1990 S10 Extended cab 4WD 4.3 PU 225000 Miles

Have only replaced water pump and altenator.

I am the original owner

I get a kick out of all the foreign fans saying an American car isnt worth jack over 100,000 miles. So lets here what your S10,S15, truck or Blazer/Jimmy has.







My 1991 Jimmy 4x4 4.3 has 249,000 It just started to knock but I have no complaints.

My 1992 S-10 4.3 has 146,000. It is a very strong runner. Stock with Edelbrock headers/Flowmaster muffler.



Neither motor has been rebuilt. Both are TBI. I buy one owner cars just for that reason.I HAVE A 84 S10 BLAZER 2.8L V6 WITH 343,000M AND THE ORIGINAL ENGINE. MY GRAMPS BOUGHT IT NEW, AND I GOT THE BEAST AS AN INHERITANCE. THERE HAVE BEEN PROBLEMS WITH IT, BUT I FIXED ALL OF THEM MYSELF (EXCEPT TIRES, THEY MAKE YOUR HANDS DIRTY :(

98 s-10 with just over 113,000 miles, cat is fried, time for a little front end work, and with the way i drive, a new clutch around 200K. second owner, bought it at 76K. Man i love this truck.....especially since i pay it off in 10 days!

93 s10 with 2.8L 279,361 miles on it still runs but knocking.

I have 270,000 miles and still rolling. never changed shocks or done anything to rearend. Had transmission rebiult at about 200,000 miles. I drive and go, change oil when i think about it, usually around 5000 miles.
I will say I will never have a vehicle to do or be put through what i have done with this truck. loaded 2100 pounds of cotton gin dirt on it. cost me a penny a pound, so it was verified. pulled a tractor on a trailer, couldn't stop it tho. watched the speedometer go all around to 15mph,back before the 200,000 mile mark tho. out ran the ford splash and blew off my wipers. those rev and speed limiters sux! LOL turned turns on 2 wheels.
I thank God it knew the way home when i was drinking!
It is 21 years old and i have semi retired it.
As for my driving habits, they have calmed and changed for the better.
ripped off e brake because of the small trees and bushes that wrapped around drive shaft because I drove and made a road when there was not one.
BTW it has the 2.8 V6 and no computer and is a 2 wheel drive. I ran off and left a 99 toyota tacoma that broke the computer board trying to keep up with me in the tennessee river.LOL computers does not like water.
It still runs but not very well, windshield cracked. drinks gas, 15mpg, uses oil aroung 2 quarts every 3000 miles. It slowly goes uphill and shakes and vibrates downhill. But its like grandpa, ya gotta love it!

I have a 1993 4.3 Vortec with 272,000. No knocking, all original drive train. Change oil every 3500, change fuel filter every other oil change, service trans every year. Pull and clean egr once a year. I have replaced the efi spider once. These are great trucks with a minimum of care.

up until i final trashed it by running in 1st an 2nd gear for 4 months instead of getting it fixed (i was quite poor at the time) i had a 1988 S-10 shortbox blazer with 325000 miles on it, finaly junked it for parts in 04. even then my suspension, front differential, frame, and most of the power interior systems were almost mint.

95 S10 Blazer 4.3 4x4 push 195K miles. Still running strong. love the car so much I want to trick it out now. Waiting for engine to go so I could drop a V8 in. But she just keeps on going. What to do what to do . Thanks

I have an 89 S-10 with 185K on it. Runs OK but needs some help. Still has original spark plug wires......... that should answer the questioning as to why it wasn't running well. It has a V6 2.8 in it. It's hit and miss with the 2.8's. You either find one that will go forever or one that will last only a year.

96 s-10 4.3 5sp 346,418

I have a 1998 Chevy S10 extended cab 5-speed 2.2 engine with 152,000 on iy. I brought it from the orginal owner. It had 44, 000 on it then. very little work done other then regular stuff like, brakes, exhaust etc.

89 4x4 165,000 miles on it. previous owners need to be smacked around for not taking better care of it, but it does run and fairly well. I only paid $200 for it...

Proud to say my 88 4.3 s10 blazer has 195000 miles & it's still kicking!

I have a 98 w/2.2 w/ a stick at 142,000 no mods. Have had to replace fuel pump and relay, wiper circuit board, and idler pulley. Stills runs like a champ. Good for about 200mi. a week.

Had to replace the alternator on the 91 last week. Now at 215,000 miles. Second actual failure on the truck since new on Labor Day of 1990. Fuel pump went out at 89,000 miles many years ago. Truck still looks an drives as new. Hard to beat the small V6 five speed, routine 29 mpg, with gas prices as they are. I'd buy a new one just like it for double the price if I could. Heck of a machine.

1990 S10.

Get-up-and-go power ain't worth a crap, and takes a while to warm up in winter, but otherwise running good. Still reliable; don't have to worry about whether it's going to crank or break down every time I go somewhere. ;)

1987 2.5L 4sp with 128K on there. Just regular tune-up stuff.

I just hit 145500. No Cam at the moment.

well my jimmy just hit 208,000 miles. but if things go right for once, i may be an s10 owner within the next week or 2. pray for me :lol:

Got a '91 dime with the 2.5L, 165,000. Just the normal stuff, running 5W-30 normal oil, doesn't burn any at all. Runs great, starts every time.

Ok, here it is.
I had an 82 s-15 with the 2.8 carb 2wd, granted it's had the motor rebuilt twice, and it's on its 3rd trans, but the odometer reads 647,981 my grandfather won't let that truck die. he bought it orrigionally, sold it to me in high school, and bought it back two years ago, and said he'll keep it til he dies.

and it's still haulin loads of tomatoes everyday.

i have a 92 2.5l 2wd lifted s10 155,000 on it used to run like a chamo then ecm went out and i need help i posted in the forum please help if you can but before wiring problem happened that thing would outrun 4.3ls in a hurry:naughty:

i have a 92 2.5l...... that thing would outrun 4.3ls in a hurry:naughty:
Ha..ha. Good joke.
Anyway
Buddy of mine has a 91 S10 Blazer with the 4.3, 210k and running strong, oil changes about every fifteen thousand miles (yes, that is 15,000 miles). He lacks vehicle maintenance.

I Own a 1997 Chevrolet S10 Truck 2WD 3 Door Automatic 6 Cylinders 262 X 4.3L SFI With 50,500 Miles.

i've got a 96 sonoma sls 4.3L vortec cefi x type engine. reg cab long bed 5 speed no rust anywhere! 148,000 only issue i've had was the clutch and ignition coil/distributer went out. besides the tune up i first had done bout 10,000 miles ago great truck

I have a 95' S-10 with 159,000 and just had to replace the lifters only problems i've had knock on wood...

98 extended cab 163000 miles

93 s-10 blazer 4.3L CPI with 267,906 miles on it right now. needs a fuel pump (again x3) and had a new CPI some time ago. but always starts. always runs. and has survived two kids learning to drive in a 4x4. a note of caution. if you tell your blonde teenage daughter to "put it in 4-wheel on the slippery spots", don't be disappointed if all she hears is "put it in 4-wheel" and then proceeds to put 130 miles on it over basically wet and dry roads. then go buy a transfer case.

witch one, had three at on time but now only one it has 83' 155,000
the other two had 97' 34,000 '83 250,000

I have a 95 s10 blazer 4.3L Vortex engine 169,000 + miles and running with the strength of a new truck...all orginial engine and tranny, just fuel pump and new distributor put in (I screwed up the original distributor while messing with it) oh yeah, also the cpi unit....but she still runs great!!!!!

My 95 just turned over 172K last night, and still runs great. I plan to keep it till it rusts out from under me someday.

1995 Chevy S-10 4.3 liter vortec just bought it for 1100. had 196,000 mi. I got her up to 199K and some change. so far i've changed the oil, dropped a K&n air filter, complete tune-up and sway bar endlinks. runs, drives, looks like new.

http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e285/DMD333/S5030065.jpg Here's the latest picture I have of my odometer.

Right now I have 207'347 miles on my 1990 Chevi S10. I hope so I'll be able to hit 300'000. As long as I keep my oil changed and I don't dog my engine, I should be able to make it. :)

i'm thinking of buying a 2000 s-10 with a 2.2 and automatic. how reliable is the 2.2?
