Welcome to the forum,I too am new in here.
That is a nice choice You got there with that pickup.There are very few problems with these units that can`t be worked out by the shade tree mechanic personell.
When I got My 93 GMC 1500 it had not been maintained very well by the previous owner,tune up,shocks and a few other issues but after I got worked through those it has been 140,000 miles of just routine maintenance,the pickupo has over 246,000 on it now,so,done right,Your pickup should last You a very long time.
If Your pickup has over a 150,000 miles on it and noithing done to it I would suggest a new timing chain/sprocket set just to be on the safe side.
