whats the average life of a vortec 350?!

i second the 10 bolt being the thing you need to worry about but they're great trucks and as said above^ easy to work on

ya ive got a spare 10 bolt with only 20.000 kms on it. yes there very easy to work on i miss having my suburban as my daily driver for that fact, because my dodge is one hell of a pain to work on and isnt all that cheap on parts the only thing i like about it is the solid axle in the front other then that its junk

...solid axle in the front other then that its junk

That is the description of a Dodge...

Although working on those front-ends is a PITA if you've ever have. Kind of like a cruel joke by the engineers on the mechanics.

I have 312k miles on my original engine....still going strong.
