how many miles do you have?
 

I was curious how many out there are basically living in their truck. I just rolled 177000 on my 08 Extended cab Z71. 2 sets of tires, 3 sets of front brakes, one set of rear brakes ( originals only lasted 170K), one battery, and a set of plugs and wires at 100k. Transmission, transfer case and axles were all serviced at 100k as well. Ive had no complaints with this truck. Ive run synthetic in it since 26000 miles, change it every 10k or less, and it may use 1/2 quart between changes.

Holy smokes, I'm at 70K with at least half on company business in my '08 and wish it was less. Glad to hear you haven't had any major issues. Do you drive alot for work?

Re: how many miles do you have?
 

Im self employed and this is my work truck. I repair electronic engine controls and generators on drilling rigs and they are scattered all over West Texas. 300-400 miles a day isnt unusual. I bought it in August of 08 with 347 miles on it. It has been a great truck. I did have the ball joints replaced at 150,000 miles. They werent real bad, but alot of my driving is rough lease roads so I keep on top of maintenance so I dont break down in the middle of no where. It gets aligned every time I buy a set of tires which is 50k-60k miles. I keep an extra fan belt and idler pulleys just in case. The originals are still on there and just turned 178,000 today. I was just curious how many out there are racking up the miles. im planning on running for a long time.
Heres a couple of pics of my work setup. It works good for what I do and keeps my parts in order. Not the best pics, but you can get the general idea.

im at 26,000. got mine brand new dec. 24 2010. A deer jumped into the door at 310 miles. stock tires were worn out at 22,000, It got an alignment at the same time, and the battery went out back in january. I run mobil 1 full synthetic and havent had any problems with my truck at all.

Re: how many miles do you have?
 

turned over 30,000 miles 2 nights ago... no problems at all

Re: how many miles do you have?
 

184000 today. Its time for another set of tires. I have a tire pressure sensor that needs to be replaced now, but thats a minor issue. You guys have some good loo:metal:king trucks.

Re: how many miles do you have?
 

2005 1500HD with 97K on it right now. Dealer replaced the intermediate steering shaft under warranty, serviced front/rear diff, transfer case and trans at 70K. Otherwise, I have done nothing to it and it still looks and drives like new.
No pics though.....

Re: how many miles do you have?
 

2008 Chevrolet Silverado w/ 27,2XX miles on it.

Had to have the 4x selector replaced (under warranty) and the battery replaced (under warranty).

The last oil change was done on July 21, 2011, and is changed every 3,000 miles. I haven't even hit the 3,000 miles yet. This thing just doesn't get driven as much any more.

Re: how many miles do you have?
 

My dad's '08 Suburban had 83,xxx on it last time I was in it. Only problem he's had with it is the dealership disabling his heated windshield washer fluid and back window washer fluid under recall rather than fixing it. It's had one set of tires and a lot of put off oil changes and still runs like a champ.

Re: how many miles do you have?
 

Recently passed 200k. Still going strong. Im going to change the original serpentine belt first chance I get. Its not looking bad but I have had a new one behind the seat since it had about 30k. I have really been impressed with the reliability but not shocked...after all, it is a Chevy.

:wave:

Re: how many miles do you have?
 

Just thought it looked cool.

Re: how many miles do you have?

Re: how many miles do you have?
 

Just completed my second, 100,000 mile tune up. Plugs and wires looked good.Over 236000 miles so far. . I also changed the serpentine belt and idler pulleys just in case. Had to change front wheel bearings about 10,000 miles ago, but I can't complain about that. This has been an awesome and very reliable truck.:metal:

Re: how many miles do you have?
 

After 7 months its now at 15,000kms, driving it home from Saskachewan racked up about 3000km alone.

Re: how many miles do you have?
 

My 08 has 149000
my 13 has 9

wish it could stay low like that hahahaha

Re: how many miles do you have?
 

I just turned 60,000 miles on the 2011, yesterday. Loved every minute of it.

Re: how many miles do you have?
 

Well, recently turned 254,000 and have first problem. If it idles too long, I can hear a lifter tapping pretty good. Once I drive a bit, it goes away. Research shows this is common issue with AFM motors from 08. Supposedly there is an updated lifter that fixed this issue. Many failed before the 100k mark so I guess I got my moneys worth. Going to check on cam and lifter replacement I guess. Motor still doesn't use more than 1/2 quart every 6000 miles. Overall, still pleased with truck. Its never left me stranded so I can't complain.

Just picked up a 2008 Sierra RCSB ... 122,360 miles ... Hope it doesn't blow up....

Re: how many miles do you have?
 

I wouldn't worry about it. I'm about to hit 266,000 miles. I increased my oil change to 4000 miles and rarely hear the lifter rattle I previously mentioned. There are signs of an oil leak somewhere but it may loose 1/2 quart in 4000 miles so its not a concern to me. Never see a drop on the ground, just the pan is wet.

Update to the mileage in the truck:

80,000 this week and still hitting it hard. 8/29/13

Re: how many miles do you have?
 

2008 GMC Sierra crewcab Z71, 107k. Engine rebuilt at 99k due to oil consumption/exhaust smoke issue. That happened to me about 1500 miles after I bought the truck this last June.

Re: how many miles do you have?
 

Gotta say these trucks are great, and very comfortable to put miles on. My 2010 4X4 has 87,000 miles, no problems at all...one of the guys at work has a '10 with 165,000 miles. No issues. They are workhorses.

Re: how many miles do you have?
 

Nice thread guys. Looking forward to an update from rare86.

Re: how many miles do you have?
 

My 09 has 15k. Love the truck. I flew to Texas and drove it back.

Re: how many miles do you have?
 

Only 32,000 miles on my 2008. :-)

Re: how many miles do you have?
 

I'm up to just over 274,000 now. She's semi retired as of October 2013. I had to replace my oil pump which solved lifter rattling issues, at 272,000. She still looks good and drives great. Definitely a keeper. Im going to redo the front seats and keep it as a backup. The oil pump is the only issue I've had. Only things thst have been changed is plugs, wires, battery and serpentine belt. Rest is bearings on front wheels and brakes. Love my truck.

Re: how many miles do you have?
 

2011 GMC is now at 107,000 miles and running strong.

Re: how many miles do you have?
 

2011 GMC Sierra 1500 4WD -56,500 miles

Re: how many miles do you have?
 

My 08' GMC getting ready to turn 274K miles. Just changed original battery last week. Had transmission change at 185K miles Everything else in engine compartment is original. If it blows up tomorrow it doesn't owe me anything. I bought a set of factory rims and tires off of craigs list a while back and now none of my tire sensors work. Not worth taking to dealer to see what the deal is.
