I am contemplating a purchase of an older work truck and would like to know if anyone knows the engine life of the 1995 2500 cheyenne 5.7 liter engine. It is a rear wheel drive. Also I was wondering if I should be aware of any problems in the 100000 mile mark. Replies to this message: 0patience (Dec 06, 2007 10:41 pm)

Replying to: juggernaut2874 (Nov 20, 2007 8:41 am) Seems to have a cracked piston, bad rings, or a hole in the piston. I'll need to tear the engine down but it'll probably be easier to buy a rebuilt short block.

Pay special attention for leaks on the engine, color of the oils, the condition of the radiator, see what the coolant looks like and make sure that the differential yoke has no up and down movement. I have a 93 Silverado and have 270,000 miles on the original engine. I've had to replace the radiator, rear end, heater core and water pump. If the cooling system was taken care of, you may not have any problems with it. As for repairs on that truck, with exception of the automatic transmission, most repairs can be relatively inexpensive, compared to some newer vehicles.

#436 of 449 Complete Loss of Power by 86chevc10 Dec 18, 2007 (1:36 pm)
I drive an 86 C10. the engine brifly shuts off when the rpm are between 2500 and 3500. if you hammer it is fine and the same goes for low rpm's. i know for sure i need a water pump, that is on the way. could this be related? it was just purchased 4 weeks ago, new cap/rotor, plugs, pcv. could it perhaps be the fuel filter? any help would be appreciated
#437 of 449 engine knocking by a_rob497 Dec 27, 2007 (8:59 pm)
hey, i have a 76 chevy shortbed stepside with a 350 in it. i was revving the engine up the other day i it started knocking, i was told it was prob the lifters. i replaced them and cleaned up the motor a bit but when i put it back together and started it the knocking was still there. any ideas? someone told me it could be because the rocker arms arent torqued right.
