It would be a 2.9L in 89. Reasonable off-the-top EPA estimate would be about 18city/22hwy, assuming tip-top shape, of course.

Basically, about 3.slow gas mileage, but better grunt off the line.

Welcome to FTE!

You don't mention what drive setup, but 2WD will do better than 4X4.

FYI that year doesn't have the 100,000 mile speedo, most likely that truck has 157,000 miles so be aware. my 78' silverado shows 34,000 miles but it has rolled around 3 times which means it has 334,000 miles.

Welcome to FTE!!!

Make sure you check for cracked head(s), a common problem if overheated. You normally see coolant in the oil. I have to agree about the miles, 157000.
