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

How’s your oil pressure on this truck with 400k?

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.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Atlas · Posted

      One of the few things I enjoyed about my time in the midwest was taking off on weekend drives. Unlike home, where we are boxed in by mountains and water, those rules don't apply to the inland plains. Roads connect and sprawl everywhere. While Minnesota is flat, it's not completely featureless and there are fast moving rural roads with curves and slight elevation changes. I used to relish heading out in a particular direction with no set destination, no curfew, and weaving through little townships, wherever the roads would take me. Along farms, lakes, or through the deciduous trees... It was beautiful in its own way, and the seasons were so distinct there. Fall drives yielded amazing shows of color and contrast. Summer drives rewarded with the and amber evening glow of the prairie (and lots of juicy bugs).    I do a lot of that here in my home state too. But it's much less mysterious/intriguing. I've traveled most roads in the region, and every road that's fun to drive within a good radius of my house. But every drive, even on the same old roads, is still enjoyable. I know where I can lean hard into the throttle or really throw the car into a curve. There are exercise loops for when I just need to keep certain cars limber, and much longer routes to settle in and enjoy a drive and put some miles on. All the mountains and water make for some really awesome roads for spirited driving. But not all my driving is spirited, for example, that's not really enjoyable in my pickup or this Blazer (that's still here...).   Sometimes a good drive is followed by a ritualistic wash before tucking the car away...

      L8S For 2027

      By C/K Man · Posted

      'GMAuthority' is reporting the 2027 HD's will have the L8S 6.6L gasoline V-8.  There was some talk here about the L8S awhile back.  Not sure what changes it will have now as it seems the 2027 emissions regulations have changed from what was originally proposed.  The big question will be is L8S just a stopgap for the last 2 years of the current T1 HD platform or will it carry forward to the next generation 2029 T1-2 HD's?    I assume the L8S will still be a Gen. V engine.

      New Duramax rumor?

      New engines will still be using DEF. You just won't have the limp modes occurring when you run out of DEF now.

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By bruceb58 · Posted

      I am not a NOCO fan for a charger I would leave on a battery 24/7. The reason is, it doesn't really float. It waits until the battery drops to a certain voltage and then charges it back up to 14V. It's better than no charger I guess.

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By bruceb58 · Posted

      I would never do anything but lithium.   If the vehicle is stored, just turn the disconnect off. My batteries are completely disconnected form everything in the trailer when my disconnect is off. Trailers don't always come that way as some still keep the CO/LPG monitor on. When mine is off...it is off.   As far as storage temps, LiFePO4 are good down to -20°C. I would store them in a heated place if it goes below that. You can also get heating mats with a thermostat if power is available.   The way the heaters work, if it's below 0°C, if a charge comes in, it is directed entirely to the heater until the battery gets above 0°C and then it allows the charge to go to the battery.   For my Android tablet I use as a display, I can move it inside my house if I was ever in an area that got super cold.
