Default How many miles?

How many miles do you have on your Blazer? How many miles can I realistically expect to get from mine. I know this is subjective. I have a well maintained 1998 GMC Jimmy (4.3, AT) 4WD). It currently has 118k miles and was a one-owner vehicle. The previous owner purchased it new and drove it about 50 hiway miles (one-way) per day. Because I work at an automotive dealership, I can drive their vehicle for free. I have put about 3K miles on my Jimmy since I purchased it. Both front hubs have been replaced, it has been tuned up, and the lower ball joints replaced. I would like to think it would make 200K without any major repairs.

ive got around 300k on mine and the biggest problem I have had with it was the ignition module, other problems would include 3 cracked radiators (cheap plastic tanks) and a leaking heater core. other then that nothing

My 2000 has 103K on it and by some of the numbers, I hope it lasts that long. As long as you take care of it, it'll take care of you. This reminds me, I'm due for an oil change.

I'm pretty convinced that mine will last as long as I take care of it. My '03 is at 80k miles, still original everything. My only gremlin is my fuel pump. I feel that the 2nd gens, even though they have their known issues (remote oil lines, I'm looking at you!!) if you treat them correctly, the 4.3L is a good solid motor. Its fairly easy to work on, parts are fairly cheap.

I have an 98 with 148k on the body and 200k+ on the Engine.
Hoping the Engine lasts as long as that Lincoln Town Car :P
