welcome to chevy/gmc. they do it lol...So far ive yet to see a puff though from my sonoma. knock on wood.

 

The '96 now has a '96 engine from a S10 truck with over 220,000 miles. Bearings looked good, put a new oil pump in, front/rear crankshaft seals, oil pan gasket, remote oil filter lines, and a new radiator. Seems to run ok, even though the back 2 cylinders were a little low on compression compared to the front 4 (140 vs 170) and i picked from the best used ignition componets i had to choose from. Timing chain didnt seem to have any streach to it so i left it alone. Runs better than i thought it would, certianally better than my diesel-sounding original engine with all those spun bearings. Lol

 

159,100. hoping to get her to 200k

 

It was over 170,000 when the odometer went out.

 

Right at 180000 running fine.

 

Running strong and delivering excellent fuel economy at 205k. I should have stayed with with 10w-30 instead of going back to 5w-30 as this site recommended:uses a 1/2 qt every 2k which is still OK,compared to my Lincoln that uses a qt every 600 miles and doesn't leak it-Fords just use oil. But I will be going back to 10w-30 at the next change!
97 Jimmy-2nd owner. >65k in 3 years with no let downs or surprises! Its a keeper!

 

My 94 jimmy 4x4 still going with 226,000. Got 17 mpg last fill up, but has had a burnt exhasut valve for a while. Still drive it when I want but plan to repair eventually. Just causes a slight skip at idle.

The 96 had 260,000 when the intake gasket went unnoticed, could have gone longer but people make mistakes.

 

I have a 92 s10 Blazer 4x4 with 217,000 miles. Now that I fixed the issues that plagued it when I bought it, it runs like a champ.

 

2000 s10 blazer.

117,000 miles on motor.


Transmission was rebuilt about 2000 miles ago.

Now it has Transgo shift kit, and a corvette servo *Very Firm Shifts*

 

I cracked the block at around 150k when the water pump went out. Everything stock. $3k later had a new engine put in.
