So, yeah, that's my opinion on some bullshit that has absolutely nothing to do with the question you asked. If you don't like it get fucked.

with regular maintnence a 4.3l will last well into the 300k mile range...
ive owned more than 5 of them all together and the only ---- i had break down is small ---- like starters 3 times 3 different trucks and a tstat 2 times on 2 different trucks but preventitive maintnence is the key, relatively all small and easy to work with ---- untill a heater core goes and even then its still easy to change its just that its a bitch to get to and youll be cursing alot
either way id sell the 98 and pick up a pre 93 truck or pre 94 jimmy/blazer
btw most people who bash 4.3l havent owned a s10 they may have ridden em but they havent owned one
some people call the s10's hit and miss trucks i call bs.. if you buy one that wasnt driven by some ****** ittl last forever but if you buy one thats been abused no ------- ---- its gonna be a pos

so replacing starters, thermostats, heater cores, and complete exhaust systems, along with crank bearings, is preventive maitnence?
