My first truck was an '83 GMC S-15, had it for 13 years and slid into hill with 148k miles on it. I've also owned a '91 Chevy S-10, turned it in with 208k miles on it. (both 2.8ltr V-6) I owned a '67 GMC HD Stepside 3/tree 250, sold it after 14 mos when offered twice what I paid for it. Currently own a '91 GMC 1/2 ton Suburban, 350/3.42. (wifes) It has 219k miles on it with a 2nd tranny. I drive a '97 Chevy 1 ton drw crewcab with a 6.5TD. It currently has 221k miles on it.
My point is that I've had pretty good luck with Chevy / GMC so I'll stick to what works. :wink: Knock on wood.!
