Engines are generally as good as the maintainer. If the truck doesn't show any signs of abuse you will be fine.

If anything breaks, fix it. As well as sounds. I picked up my 99 Blazer 4.3 4x4 and it has only minor issues and have been all clarified mostly in one day.

Parts are abundant as well. So if something does go wrong it's generally cheap to fix

you really should be posting this kind of question in the 1st gen S-series section.

they're not a great engine, but still pretty decent, if (like Topsecret said) properly maintained.

welcome to the show by the way.
