Show off your S-series miles here

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.

So I should feel fairly confident to buy a 94 S-15 Jimmy with 240,000 miles on it?

Thanks,

Re: Show off your S-series miles here

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

Re: Show off your S-series miles here

91 S10 with the 2.8 V6 at 190,000 miles
93 S10 Blazer vortec 4.3 with 165,000 miles. Some repair on the Blazer ($1000+-), almost none on the truck, both running great (knock on wood). Wonder if the Colorado will perform like this?

1994 4.3L V6 Vortec, 170,000 miles on it and still running great! I have a few minor (*knock on wood*) issues with it, but up til about 3,000 miles on it EVERYTHING was factory. My truck took a beating from the prevous owner, and I always run mine down!

Both of my brothers love their Hondas. The one may be older than mine, by about 8 years, but has less miles on it and it runs like crap. Infact, right now it is not running at all. Ha-Ha!

My 85 S-10 2.8 has only 75,000 miles on it! Of course it could have something to do with the broken speedometer

I have a '94 S10 4x4 4.3 TBI automatic std cab/long bed. It has 171000 miles today, and is running very well. Very reliable truck.
It is on its second battery, fuel pump, fuel tank, EGR valve, spark plugs, ignition wires and distributor rotor/cap. Otherwise mechanically it is original.
