right now my 92 astro is at 504,367, i started her up and took her for her weekly spin around the block today. of course the rotors have been turned plenty of times, and plenty of bulbs have blown out, and i've only put a few hundered miles on her since i inherited her a year ago. but the engine and tranny are all original, i love that van, its a family heirloom really, my dad used it to start up his company. i think the reason its survived so long is cause my dad swore by castrol syntec oil in it since it had 150k, and that fact that the 4.3 is one of the best engines, in terms of reliability, that gm has ever made.
