just hit 100000

 

1987 S-10 Blazer 4x4

Sitting at 286,634

300 miles on freshly rebuilt 2.8L
Putting the front diff back in today.

 

i got a 99 with only 36k

 

my 95 s-10 blazer has 124500 on her

 

98 blazer in 2 and a half weeks and 5 days of parked time due to brake downs i put on 2 k from 77k to 79300k

 

98 4.3 4x4 4door, stock and original everything 198,000. some rust creeping in, not as much power as when i bought her at 120,000 but still getting in the neighborhood of twenty mpg using the odometer/gallons trick.

 

I'm just turning 208,000 miles - Just need a new Cat. Converter, Brakes, and AC hose(I've purchased everything just need the time!)

 

98 all original with 198k getting 20mpg? Wow. How did you do it? Any signs of mechanical problems with all those miles or does it still run like new?

 

I haven't really done anything special. Recent plugs and wires, air filter, dist cap, etc. No signs of mech damage, just small body rust issues slowly growing into problems. Never gone over 3200 between oil changes, EVER. Done all other scheduled maintenance early, sometimes ate ramen noodles for weeks on end just to afford trans flushes. Best truck ever, but I don't have tons of cred, im only 19. I live in the sticks so all travel is long and at 55 or 65, depending on alarm clock effectiveness. OH, did rust through a brake line recently, driving through the surf can really screw stuff up. Intake manifold gasket at about 180,000. So yeah, nothing major. Trying now to get the damn a/c working again. Im ignoring the rust because i figure that i won't revive the truck when it finally does die, knock on wood, and stuff probably wont starting rusting away by then.

 

293,000k on a 96 Blazer. Starting to leak coolant for the top of the engine though.
