Pretty straight forward list your miles, and year and engine size. Lets get an idea of how many miles we can go before we run into problems.

 

2005 5.3. I have 20,000 //// no problems as of yet other than a belt tensoner

I bought mine new back in Jan 2002. I have a 4.8 with 101245 miles. the only problem I have had is the radio went out the second week I had her. I would post how many hours are on the engine but do not remember how to do that.

2001 Silverado, 5.3L...bought in July 2001. I have just shy of 48,000 miles on her, a majority of which are city miles :flag: .

 

I have had a few problems with the truck such as some leaks due to bad seals, the cruise control went out after 18,000 miles even though it had only been used a couple times, she burns oil a bit too much (since about 20,000 miles), and my anti-lock brakes are all screwy but I live on the wrong side of the country for that recall. Those are the main problems I have had, but overall all still a fairly good truck.

1998 Blazer 4.3 with 61,000 miles.

 

I have replaced the lower intake gasket, ac compressor, idler arm, and a few other little things in the past 1 1/2 years that I've had it.

02 Silverado 5.3L bought in Nov of 01. It just turned over 68k, the only problems so far have been a leaking battery, radio went out and was replaced, the driverside speaker in the door has come loose twice, had the steering wheel shaft noise fixed as well as the nickle plated slip yoke installed. Most of my mileage is not put on the Jetta. I have put 13k miles on it since I bought it back in March of 04. Engine is running strong and all the oil analysis reports are coming back good as well.

95625 miles on my '02 1500HD 6.0L. I bought it with 86k about a year and half ago, but the only thing I've had to do to it was the serp. belt and a battery just a few days ago. The truck seems solid, and have been driving for a week straight with it in 4wd, not even any noises!

2004 2500HD Ext. Cab, 6.0L...bought July of '04. Front Diff replaced that December...shortly thereafter, the Steering Knuckle replaced. The Spring of '05 the Diff Seals were leaking and needed new....Fall of '05, another steering Knuckle. I love my truck, but would feel better if I could go more than 6 months without a problem, otherwise it's gone after warranty runs out.

Ok, you asked (in miles). These were purchased NEW. I still have these on the farm and they are in regular use:

1991 GMC C2500 - 225,000 GM had to replace engine under warranty

1993 GMC C1500 ex cab - 83,000

1996 GMC Yukon 5.7 - 140,000 (intake manifold gasket issues)

1999 Chevrolet Crew Cab work = 83,000 - a dawg

2003 Chevrolet ex Z71 - 65,000 (great truck)

2005 Chevrolet Crew Cab - 9,300 (might become the best)

 

Dang, I'm tired! Lots of Mobil 1 !!!!

I sold mine and am currently in the market for another, but here is a run down of mine. '02 with 45k. Wind leak around passenger side windshielf area (fixed twice). Suicide doors on extended cab not aligned properly and squeaked like crazy...applied "anti-squeak" tape twice by dealer. Catalytic converter had to be replaced around the 30k mark. Lost almost all power while driving, check engine lights came on, etc, etc. Ran fine after that.

2002, 1500HD GMC with 28,000mi. 6.0L. O2 sensor replaced under warranty. Otherwise no problems. Almost all miles are towing my racecar and trailer (about 9,000 lbs.).

    • Here's the second UOA on my 22 Wrangler with the Ecodiesel. This has 5k miles on AMSOIL Signature Series DEO 5w-40. The first one was dealer installed oil, no clue what it was, the second is what AMSOIL recommended, European FS 5w-40, Most of the Ecodiesel world is showing great results using the European MS 5w-40, I figured I would see how the DEO works. This is using an Ecoguard oil filter. It's my understanding this engine likes to shed aluminum.  We will see. So far I don't think this is too bad.    
    • I'm surprised nobody seems to offer a solution like the start/stop device I put in my new truck. Remembers my setting when shutdown. And while it still starts up in start/stop, it stores/evaluates what mode it was in when shut down and will change it whithin a second or 2 of startup. It'd be nice to have something like that for the DRLs.
    • 2015 Sierra 1500 here. Leaks from the sunroof to front driver side and soaks carpet. How do I fix this? Thanks!
    • I will be doing that for sure, but I need to solve who has/ where I can find a bidirectional scan tool that will support OBD 1.5. I'm kicking myself because I ebay'ed a Snap On MT2500 that I didn't think I'd ever need anymore. D'oh!! I'd rather not buy another, so I'll contact a few local shops to see if they have one and how much they'd want to do the procedure. I'd rather have the ability to do it myself... I wish there was a modern tool that could do it all, but I'd have no idea what to buy.   The theory with the pulled timing is that it mimics a rich condition. The delayed spark causes incomplete burn and the O2 sensor picks up low oxygen levels. That's interpreted as a rich condition so the PCM pulls fuel and that shows up in the deeply negative fuel trims.
    • An ultra wealthy man had the most beautiful daughter. But, there was a problem. Everything she touched would melt in her hands. No matter what, Metal, Wood, Stone. Anything she touched would melt. She could not feed herself. Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her. Her father was despaired. What could he do to help his daughter? He consulted doctors, scientists and anybody who could solve this problem. Finally one of them said, "If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured." He was overjoyed and came up with a plan. The next day, he held a competition. Any man who could bring his daughter an object that would not melt in her hands would be given billions of dollars to marry her. Three extremely intelligent and handsome young men took up the challenge. The first brought a very heavy steel rod, But alas, when the she touched it, it completely melted in a matter of seconds. He sadly went away. The second brought a beautiful diamond, knowing diamonds were one of the hardest substance in the world and would not melt. But alas, once she held it in her hand, it melted. He too was sent away disappointed. So now, there was one left He was very nervous & sweating. He approached the daughter & said, “put your hand in my pants pocket and feel what is in there." She did exactly what he asked. She felt something very hard. She held it in her hand, squeezing it as hard as she could. It did not melt & remained extremely hard. Her father was overjoyed. Everybody was overjoyed. She was finally cured. Nothing never, ever melted in her hand again. They married and they both lived happily ever after, raising a wonderful family. Question: What was in the the groom’s pants pocket??? Answer below ↓ M&Ms of course! They melt in your mouth, not in your hand. What on earth were you thinking?
