I have a 2001 Chevy 1 ton van with 115,000 miles. So far I've replaced the distributor, ECU (and had to take it to the dealer for programming), two O2 sensors, front wheel bearings and seals, rear wheel bearings and seals (and brakes, since they were soaked with 90W), a brake cylinder, a high-pressure regulator for the CNG, and now a radiator that's leaking.

On the other hand, my 40 year old Blazer just starts and goes. Of course it takes some maintenance to keep it running, but I've spent less on it since I bought it than I have on my van, and that includes putting an engine in the Blazer.
