High Mileage Club - 300k+ Miles Edition

[Dustin House]

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 part replacement. I can say I will never part with this one of a kind truck.  I may get teased a little about still driving my old truck. My baby is getting old. They day will come when I will have to do what's will have to do.....

  ....and give this truck the full make over it deserves. 

 Thank you GMC trucks for this great build.

Only 160k on my 02 1500 5.3

 

But I bought it new May 2002 and still using it as a daily driver

I put 50k on a beater car several years ago during the fuel crisis and let my truck sit driven infrequently.  I swear those few years of useless  driveway sitting time did more damage to it then anything.

I just put 400000miles on my 06 Sliverado 5.3 liter

[Black02Silverado]

184K on my 2002 which I purchased new in Sept of 2001.  I would have around 360k on it if I didn't have my 91 Jetta diesel and now my Cruze diesel.  I put 100k on my Jetta and 50k on the Cruze so far.

that is great.  What kind of work have you had to do on your 400,000 mile truck?

 

[greatmizzou]

So after 300mi....does the resale value start ton increase?  Lol

 

seriously tho, a vehicle that makes it 300-400mi must have some very good ownership

300K miles is routine for my brother in- law. In the 21 years I’ve paid attention he’s had 4 Tahoe- suburbans and one pickup. The Chevy pickup is the only one he bought new. He just gave his 200K plus mile p/u to his daughter for college. His work Tahoe has 200K plus miles. Their newest one his wife drives is a 13 model they just bought. The only reason they have had 4 SUVS, one was prematurely retired do to a wreck. He still has his first car a 69 firebird convertible sitting in his garage. He follows routine matinees. The only failure to date, the third one back lost its heater core and rear end. It got repaired.

Fuel pump and the stock radiator have been my only problems so far.

What maintenance have you done to yours any oil pressure problems?

No oil pressure problems, on my 3rd fuel pump though, plugs and wires, O rings on fuel injectors, only one of the ignition coils has gone bad. But other then those common issues I haven’t had any other problems. Just keep up with maintenance, keep fluid levels up, clean full synthetic oil every 3000 miles, and I run mine on a higher octane, but that’s how I’ve kept it running for as long as it has. One of the most reliable trucks anyone could own in my opinion.
