96 S-10LS 4.3L Vortac, 149K miles. Owned it since mid-98 when it had 19k miles. Never had any major problems. I live in the Southeastern US and we have very favorable weather, so, that may have some impact. BTW - just towed my 30 ft 6000lb boat with it last weekend. Wouldn't want to do that regularly, but it proves the ruggedness of this particular vehicle.... Regards, Kmaxhhi
