I had a 91 TBI S-10, I put 270,000 miles on it. Very limited amount of work.
still have my 91 Blazer never put much into it aside from normal stuff before I hot rodded it.
i had a 92 s-10 2wd, it was an excellent ride i sold it with 170,000 miles and not one problem other than replacing the radiator years before! mike
well this one was definatly not as described ended up not getting it was blowiing water all over engine am looking at a 91 blazer with 135000 miles needs driver side door and window regulators four wheel drive does not work though dont know why yet price is 900

I think you just made a big mistake.

I agree, 28,000 is a long time w/ no oil changes. I would imagine it's dino as well. Was it low on oil?

yeah all the fluids were nasty believe it or not does not run that bad bought it as a second vehicle any ideas on how i should flush it my thought was to do a couple of short 200 mile changes with cheap oil and mayby a quart of marvel mystery oil

My FIL had a 93 S-10 w/4.3 and anything we replaced on it was reasonably inexpensive(as long as you do-it-yourself).

Huh?
I had an '89 S-15 Jimmy 4x4 and when I got rid of it with 160,000 miles, it had the original ball joints and no sign of any problems.
Of course, I was pretty anal about greasing them at every oil change.....
Rust was a big problem on the vehicle. Other than that, I recall replacing the fuel pump at 110,000 miles, the water pump at 100,000 (wasn't very good about cooling system flushes), and the starter and alternator.
