Yeah. my littel s-10 with the 2.8 has all it's original equipment (san
plugs, filters, etc) and currently has 145,000 miles on it and the only
problems i've had was the egr malfunctioned and the speedo cable dried
out somewhat.  Otherwise it runs like a peach and doesn't burn oil,
or coolant.  Gettin new car next year, but i trust it'll last that long.
