I was at the junkyard last week,noticed a 87 s10 with the 2.8 and it had 512k on it. Not sure if the engine or trans was original but cool.

Back in the days when I used to see 1st gens in the boneyard, they all had 140k average. Every single one I looked at seemed to have 140k.

For MA, that's a LOT of miles. Think about it - never going more than 35 mph (unless out on the highway) in stop & go traffic for 140k. 24/7 salt baths for 5 months out of the year. Slamming over potholes & general roughness, sometimes worse than off road. It's a rough life up here.

175k miles on my current one, 202k on my last one, could have gone much longer if some idiot would not have hit me.
