The life expectancy of any engine is a function of how it's used and how well the operator maintains it.
The 350 in my previous pickup truck was 1 mile short of 200,000 when a distracted driver ran into me. It did not burn or leak oil, and compression was great. It always started on the first try and there was no blowby... indicating to me that the engine still had plenty of life in it.
On the other hand, I know people who haven't bothered to check their oil and the engine failed at 65,000.
The 350 is one of the better engines available and you should be able to expect long service from any vehicle equipped with that engine, provided that you are willing to provide proper maintenance.
Depends on the maintenance and care it has received or lack of.
a zillion miles
15 years
it all depends on how well you take care of your engine. if you change the oil, all filters spark plugs, etc when it needs to be done; then you can for sure see quite a long life-span of any engine.
forever
Having a VIN number would help immensely, as there were MANY different engine options for this vehicle throughout the span of its production life, to include a 1.9 liter I4 (LR1), 2.0 liter I4 (LQ2), 2.2 liter I4 diesel (LQ7), 2.2 liter I4 (LN2 and L43), 2.5 liter I4 (L38 and LN8), 2.8 V6 (LR2 and LL2), and a 4.3 V6 (L35, LB4, LF6, LU3, and LG3).So, as you can see, we'll need more specifics in order to answer this question more precisely.As for the S10 I had, it originally had the 4.3 LB4 engine... until I did an engine swap and dropped a 350 into it.I had a 2.2 L in mine.

i have a toyota myself and i can get it to go to 8000 rpms and it legthens the life span of your engine
With proper maintenance and without abuse probably 200,000 miles
If properly maintained a diesel will last much longer.
The life span of the white male 75.7 years. This is the new life span after the scientists Did the reasearch in 2012.
A average life span is about 1 year
