come on now!

[zackjsimpson@hotmail.com]

come on, I know theres a lot of 4 cyl guys out there, so lets get this started, how many miles do u have on your 4 banger? I have 147xxx and she still runs like a top. post em up!

[xxs10kidxx]

mines got 70xxx+ but runs as good as the day i bought her. ill take a 4 over anything the way gas prices are these days

[importmaster1300]

i have around 105xxx
I still drive it hard and the only thing I had to do was replace the clutch.

[Slow01S10]

i got about 50,230 on mine, still runs strong no engine problems at all since i got the truck brand new in June 2001. Best vehicle i have owned so far.

[airforcenoma]

62XXX on mine. I miss my 4.3 power and tearing up the roads but Ive grown up since then. I dont need the tickets and BS that went along with it.

[s10cyncrvr]

92,000 on my 97 work truck and (knock on wood) no problems. 8,200 on my 02. Car Craft had these engines listed in the Top Ten Worst Engines Ever article a few months back. They cited low horsepower, bad headgaskets, and freeze plugs that rot out. I do love the simplicity of them though.

[miself_s10]

1990 2.5L 5 sp w/ 275K all original motor and clutch tranny etc.

[Supercharged-ZQ8]

My '95 was a 2.2L 5-speed -- put 135K miles on it in 4 years. NO problems at all -- was kept well-maintained, even though I did thrash the daylights out of the poor thing!

[miself_s10]

yeah, u cant kill those dman 2.5s trust me!

[LilYellowZQ8]

My old 2000 Xtreme had 57,xxx hard earned miles on it in 3 years. Was also on its 3rd set of tires. Talk about running it to death, but she still held up.

[mrmidnight]

27xxx i run the hell out of it, but KITT loves me

[xtreme lowpro]

99 xtreme and got 72xxx but runs like new

[bvr775]

I'v got a 2.0ltr chevette sitting behind the garage. It ran great when parked it and I know the odometer has fliped at least once. I really doubt that an 81 chevette only has 22k on it but I don't know if it's the original engine. It parts though so i can fix up the other chevette with the 460 in it.Hopfully i get the traction problem fixed this time...

trees suck

[sparky2263]

Got any pics of the 460 Chevette?

[bvr775]

yea look up evadale it'll be in the 7sec section

[sparky2263]

What kinda link is that?

[sparky2263]

Did a google search and came up with nothing.

[nomaboy]

yeah, u cant kill those dman 2.5s trust me!
I killed 2 of them in 1 year.
I swear though it was just bad luck. :nonono_12

[T Man]

did you mean irwindale?

[inprogress10]

54xxx miles on my 2000 s10. ive owned it since feb 2004 and ive only made two road trips in it. it had 40xxx miles on it when i bought it from my buddy. ive never had a single problem out of it.

[hotrod]

got a '93 2.5 with 102,000 and bent a pushrod and a valve while going 70mph. dont stomp your gas peddle

[Jongo88]

The last one I had had 220,000 on it. The motor was never gone into. Still ran good when I sold it. 1996 GMC Sonoma 2.2 5 speed.

Only 70? Shoot, I wound my auto-equiped '85 to 118 across the top of Indiana one night. And it lived.

[jspear]

I have 234,000 kilometers (145000miles) on my 95 2.2L

[Nickelin'Dimer]

Okay, I guess it's my turn...

My '94: 165,000mi, before a lifter contamination by fragments that oiling system delivered, after an idiot mechanic that replaced the factory chain (After it failed around 125,000mi, and before I got the truck) failed to fish the broken pieces of the old chain outta the pan, caused the lifters to collapse. 35,000mi on new engine before the cheapo chain the rebuilder put in failed (Damn bastards. $3000 total for this?), which I replaced with a GM set.

MY '99 'Noma: 113,000mi, then it's chain failed. Forced me to fix the '94.

Could someone please explain to me how some folk who have the LN2 are able the go well in excess of 100,000mi without a chain failure? It's driving me up a wall!

[1-1-SIX]

193,000 on my 2.5L. actually, I replaced the factory AC Delco fuel filter about 6 months ago hoping to get better gas mileage and it made it worse. That one though was like a rusty fuel death trap, I dont see how it was running with what was coming out of it. It runs like a champ though.

but my throwout bearing sounds like a bird chirping.

[Nickelin'Dimer]

Since it was a TBI system I'd guess that the old, clogged filter was restricting pressure, causing a lean condition. And I've seen worse with air filters (Like my dad's '89 G-van, factory paper piece 'til about 100,000mi).

And that throwout bearing sounds like it's sayin' "Replace me, I'm due".

[98sonoma2.2]

98 gmc sonoma 106,xxx miles. bought it at 98,xxx. had the timing chain and tensioner done along with valve cover gasket and serpinetine belt tensioner runs great now.

[white00s10]

[Nickelin'Dimer]

[98sonoma2.2]

[1low_s10]

[Rickyboy]

210K

[Bozup]

94 S-10 2.2 with 130,000. I'm the 2nd owner. I rebuilt the engine while i was goin to school as a project, nothin was wrong with it. Runs like champ, doesnt leak, and it gets pretty good gas mileage.

[The widowed 1]

121,xxx and runs great!

[Nickelin'Dimer]

204,xxx on my '94... But silt built-up on the inside of the frame channel, and now there's two 1'-long slots rusted through it down along the bottom of the vertical wall, just before the front leaf mount.

[Xraydave07]

I have a99 chevy extrem and have 299,280 miles on the little 4 banger and would trust it to take me any where. I am the orig owner and the motor and trans and rearend have not been rebuilt or replaced just a starter, altenator, fuel pump and the usual maint.

[87wildside]

Man.

Welcome to the site. Thread is like 3 years old, no body cares but it's cool you got that out off a 2.2. My old 2.5 had 184,xxx when I scrapped the engine.

[BigTruckDrivah]

lol, azz.

[95dime]

my 95 just siezed up at 194,538 ran great till the oil pump went

[chillwill91]

[Caintheblack]

98 2.2L- Got 154K miles. Still runs great, although the head gasket has been done.

Cooling-system maintenance is rather critical on the LN2... Popular Hot-Rodding actually listed it one of the "15 Worst Engines Ever Built (What Were They Thinking!?)" a few years back, due to the core plugs rusting-out. (Due to lack of proper coolant changes, I'd imagine.) Other than that, the only other complaint they had was "Lack of power". (Yeah... Like I haven't heard that one about 4-cyl trucks before!)

Otherwise, this is a good engine... Just so long as it's well maintained. (Like a Small-Block Chevy!)

[Sako]

I got a 2001 S10 2.2 with 33,900.
