300k

oldscsc · March 25, 2010

Hit it a while ago..'01 Silverado 4.8 / 4L60E, 3.42 rear. Took it on a 425 mile road trip about a week and a half ago and got 19.25 MPG

Also threw some wheels from an '07 Yukon on there

hopefully us with the AFM will be able to push 300k as well.. i dont know if anyone's even close.. i'm barely 1/10th of the way there.

what major maintenance have you had to do in those 300k miles? engine/fuel pump/tranny/etc?

keep on truckin' man.

Congrats, I did 315K in my last FORD, but not that high on any of my GM products yet, I do have 170K on my 03 Sierra.

I've had it since 253k and have had to do both front wheel bearings, a fuel pump (my fault for not changing the fuel filter), and some general maintinence stuff like a battery and brake pads on all four corners, but nothing major. It's been a great truck.

That thing should be in the next Silverado commercial! Congrats! Here's to the next 300K

My Dad has 60 or 70 on his 08 CCSB 4x4 with AFM. Hasn't had one issue to date (knock on wood). I see no reason that truck won't last as long as anyone else's. Though you folks with lifter trouble probably don't feel the same .

I have 50K on mine. No issues yet had a damn rat chew some wires, only reason it's been to the dealer. No engine/tranny problems.

I know a few other over 75K , but no on near that.

prett Cool!

Nicely done

1983 Oldsmobile 98 & 1986 Chevy Silverado R10 both with over 600k.

Regular maintenance. Nether had the engine pulled or the transmission.

Oil

Filters

Fuel Pump

Water Pump

Pick-up

Module

Plugs

Wires

Cap Rotor

Timing chain in both on the same weekend....

Let me drop a battery in either and put some gas in the tank..... Both will crank and run and pull themselves. They may smoke for just a couple seconds after sitting a month or so.

I would load up the 98 and drive it anywhere. With any thoughts.
