Are these trucks (sy/ty) always broke?

Re: Are these trucks (sy/ty) always broke?

There's an OG on here that had a stock 92. After 12 years of ownership, he finally got it sorted out. He then proceeded to put 30,000 miles on it in 18 Months, he enjoyed driving it so much. It went Coast to Coast 5 times, with the final trip to it's new owner in Rhode Island. The only non-scheduled maintenance during this period was a new O2 sensor, rear axle seals, and the rotted-out stock muffler was replaced when a used ATR was found.

The new owner made a mistake while working on it, and put a rod through the block after owning it for 17 days. So the point is, even proven-reliable trucks won't tolerate "mistakes" by under-qualified owner/mechanics.

I agree with you until you said "under-qualified owner/mechanics"

Because a boost line that was dry rotted to begin with broke and I missed it doesn't mean I'm "under qualified" in my eyes!!!!!!!!!!

I bought my ty with the promise i would have paper work of what was done to it. I still have no paper work for the motor. It runs alky kit thats all i know other than that now i am left to try and figure out what has been done to it. Lesson learned make sure you have everything before you buy. Over all it runs solid and has been reliable but point is i want to knoww what the previous did to it. :2cents:
