Anyone rocking S10's?

[TravisB]

I bought one for $400 many years ago. It was an 87 with the 2.5 iron duke 2wd short box. Had 87 monte wheels on it with fat tires.... i ran that little **** like a stock car, until the tree ended all that fun. I love s10s, especially the early more square ones.

I had nearly the same thing as my first vehicle but mine was an 86 with a 4 speed and nova wheels. You couldn't break the speed limit but we did go through 3 of those engines. High RPMs will kill the little things. haha

I have owned only one s10. A 2001 v6 automatic. Definitely a good little vehicle. We all know there there is no such thing as one vehicle to do it all. I let my mom borrow it a couple years ago and she liked it so much I told her to keep it. What I really like about it is it can get 23 mpg and I can fix issues. It has 190k on it. I just put a water pump in it. $55 and it was easy to replace. You have to love vehicles you can fix that easy

My first ride was a 88 s10 4.3 short bed 2wd. Picked it up for 700 bucks and ran the he'll out of it for 2 years before it split the crank, had 425k miles when I sold it still ran but hammered like he'll and would only go 35

As I always tell people in Minnesota when it comes to a gm product. Rust is the only thing that matters. If you have a clean vehicle with little to no rust, miles are irrelavant. You can always slide in new parts. I have a 2000 suburban that I have to let go of because it's so rusty. It has 360k miles. But the rust is the only reason I am junking it. Miles are irrelavant.

I agree... I have a 92 the clock shows 320k+ and only rust on it is the extended cab corners.

That's my point. You could go to a million miles. People seem to have this belief that if a vehicle has 300k that its worn out. As long as the metal is good your fine.

I never understood why the mpg of the later vortec engines were so much lower. Both my '91 4.3's we're good for 26-28 mpg on the highway.

Mine were 2wd, probably had a lot to do with it. Also TBI and not CPI. Back in high school, a buddy had a '94 Blazer with the CPI motor and I'm remembering now that he complained about his mpg. It was 4x4 too.

Mine was 4x4 and I un4x4ed it. Removed all the 4wd stuff put on 2wd drop spindles on the 4x4 arms and kept the torsion bars

Probably the 3.42 with 31x10.5's as well.

Patiently waiting on a 3.73 4x4 setup to come from the sky so I can get a little lower end grunt
