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

[nuwt]

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

[Heartofgold]

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.

[kc9dre]

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...

[hotbloodsx3]

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

[zuk808]

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.

[tom3]

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.

[kahjdh]

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

[DetroitMuscle]

I just hit 145500. No Cam at the moment.
