I must share I'm a proud owner of my 1989 GMC Sierra 2500 with over 600,000 miles and still my everyday driver.  This truck has done a lot of hard work for me. Original motor. Basic maintenance and pa

Mine too!   I rolled over 306,000 miles on the way into the office this AM. I replaced the original 4.8L motor with a junkyard 5.3L at the 220K mark, but the trans and rear are untouched and origin

Just curious if anyone else on this forum has passed the 300k miles (or km equivalent) mark or if I'm here all by my lonesome. Gm or otherwise let's see your high mileage vehicle. Info such as vehicle specs, current mileage, and if major repairs were needed how many miles did you have when it was done? Pics are nice too!

 

(Sorry if this in the wrong section didn't know where to put it)

 

Ill start it off

2000 Sierra 1500 SLE 4.8/4L60E 3.73 gears

Current mileage: 316,902 miles

Needed a transmission at 278k miles and just replaced the stock tie rods, ball joints, idler arm, and 1 cv axle. Motor is still stock. Other than that the AC and interior need some work.

legally mine has 840,057 miles  or 1,351,848 KM listed on the title  

:omg:    still trying to get it fixed to the 'Actual miles'  I don't think my insurance would be happy if I drove 840,000 miles in a year

I suggest once you get to 500k Refurbish the whole truck  i.e paint and and/or body panels..

I have a 1995 z 71 i bought new. It now has 406000 miles and runs perfect. Just regular maintenance using mobil 1 oil. it burns no oil between changes. The transmission has been built twice but my brother owns a trans shop so that is not a problem for me. Even the AC stills blows cold.

      2018 Silverado Console USB Port Not Working

      By Tbhats2130 · Posted

      My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.

      I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on.
