I have done the following;
* Replaced the altenator
* Moved and or cleaned all grounds
* Replaced and or cleaned battery connections
* Re-flowed the soder points on the EBCM and moved the ground (I was getting the C0265 code)
This is not really a diagnosis thread... But have you considered your battery?

My 93 S10 Blazer made 247,000 before it became unreliable. It will still start and run but after a minute or no more than 10 it just dies. Everything except the spider has been thoroughly checked or swapped for known good parts and fuel pressure is good before, during and after it dies. Sometimes will fire back up immediately, sometimes not. Spark good before, during, and after it dies also. Engine has no leaks and still uses no oil.

Over the winter it will be de computerized with new Edelbrock manifold, Holley carb, and non computer distributor.

That's the best thing I ever did to our '00 4.3 engine - now it's as reliable as a stone ax, and has some damn good power too.

I just rolled 460,000 miles on the odometer. This not the original motor and transmission though. But it is the miles on the body and chase. This is on my 89 S15 Jimmy that I bought new.

I have a 92 with 288+ and a 02 with 144. The 92 has had parts replaced but the main block, pistons, "internal" is all original and the original trans from what I know.
