Any High Milage 5.3 Out There?

[ZR Rider]

Looking at a 2002 Sierra SLT Z71 with a 5.3 engine.

Had the same engine in my 06, but do you think 174000 miles is pushing it for a 2002??

Truck is in great shape and I'm sure about 95% of the miles are highway.

 

Any thoughts??

what happened to your 06?

 

Your going to have CSK with it, and prb a trans bump, but otherwise then a few quirks it should be okay for a while as long as everythign was serviced regularly

Haha, after my 06 left me on the hook twice for a no start, then had all 4 doors sanded and repainted on the underside for rust... I shipped it down the road!

My local dealer took it back a year early, I bought a 2008 Montana SV6 for my wife and girls... sold her Grand Am... now truck hunting! LOL

If the tranny isn't the original, then you should be good. I have an 02, no CSK on mine. Going strong at ~90,000 miles...haven't really driven it in a month or so though. Sure is nice on the wallet!

i work at a car lot and the other day we had a chevy 1500 Z71 extended cab come in with 193,000 and it also had the 5.3. it drove fine no problems that i could tell.

I just traded my 01, 5.3, z71, extended cab....... had just over 223k on the odometer..... It was just as powerful as the day I bought it........ If you're asking why did I trade it in???? I needed a full four door truck..... other than that, i loved my Sierra........ I would not hesitate one bit to buy a GM truck with 200k, on the odometer......

1999 Sierra 5.3 with 453,000 on the clock. Belongs to one of my delivery drivers. Still runs well but is on fuel pump number 5.

i have about 230000km and it runs good. it was all stock when i bought it at 198k, and the guy i bought it from took good care of it. had to replace the fuel pump thou

What is CSK ? I have a 99 Z71 with a 5.3 and around 170000 on the clock now.
