It's a tank. A smelly, sometimes tempermental tank. And I love it to death. It always starts if treated right. The motor still runs as good as it ever did and when everything is right will make close to 30 mpg. I know people who've put over a million miles on one of these without a rebuild. It has power to spare and seating for a regiment. You can haul full sheets of plywood with the back seats down. One tip. Use an electric engine heater in cold climates or do as I did and put in a propane engine heater. It's started for me at 25 below (f) in a North West wind.
Sounds like a great truck!! Although I'm not sure if they made an S10 Suburban. Are you serious about the 30mpg?! That's really good, sounds like a really good solid rig!
My 88 gets 16 when babied. so I'm doubting the 30mpg figure. these things are literally bad ass tanks. they never die! good luck with your burb!
