Over 200k or 300k?

[61_FL_Apache]

I bought my Tahoe in 2006 with 127k on it and I was not sure if I would still have it at 200k..

Well.....



I did...



I have no plans to get rid of it anytime soon..

How many miles are on your 88-98 trucks?

[64swb]

I have 270k on my '97 k2500, my dads '91 c1500 has 230k and we have a 92 and a 94 k1500 at work that both have over 240k.

[Kudzupatch]

My 95 had 320K on it when I sold it and I know the odometer ran a little slow. Still looked good and ran good but it was was pretty well worn out. Lot of oil use and some smoke, but reliable as could be.

[Palf70Step]

Looking to get my truck into that range, although it is the next gen (2002).

Seems like these years go forever!!

[91short]

My odometer stopped about seven years ago at 135k and I drive it about 60 miles daily to and from work.

My dad had a 1991 with a 350 go 550,000 before an employee totaled it. Internals on the engine were never touched. Went through a number of trannys though.

My 91 SWB truck had 315,000 on it when I sold it. It is now on it's third owner after me, and it is pushing 400,000. This is on the original 5.7 liter engine and 700R4 tranny.

[Low Elco]

A friends '89 had 285k on it with one tranny. My '94 s-blazer had 248k when I sold it, still ran like a bandit!

[doubleb's69]

My 95 Tahoe has 279,932 as of now. It has the original engine and tranny. Zero rebuilds. Runs like a champ.

[Keith Seymore]

'97 Suburban: 262,000; all original powertrain.

The trucks and engines lasting 200K+ miles doesn't suprise me. The transmissions on the other hand, that's pretty amazing. My 98 is just about 160,000 miles now.

[64swb]

I forgot two more, my father in laws '95 light duty k2500 260k plus miles and going up daily, and his neighbor's original owner '94 k1500, last check 345k miles. On the '94 nothing but 3 sets of ball joints and 2 sets of u-joints.

You guys are way luckier than us, 98 K3500 crew srw hit 157k on 2 4L80E trans and the 5.7 died, the 93 K3500 ex cab dually hit 174k before it lifted a head on the 6.5 TD and one trans, the 98 K2500 plow truck shows 218K but 3rd trans and has a prominent Goodwrench sticker on the valve cover and the S10 is at 185K now with trans #2. These are used to tow heavy trailer or plow snow but we never see over 200K without a major part replacement except our Do#ge's which are close to 400K

I'm only lucky on the Tahoe. I also had a 95 Silverado extend cab shortbox 4X4 with the 350. I just sold it this summer after 7 years of owning it. I bought it with 87,000 miles on it and sold it with just over 140,000. It started using oil pretty bad just out of the blue and ran rough. I didn't beat it up any, just drove it like a daily driver. No high revs or racing around. Regular maintenance. Number 4 cylinder had almost no compression and 2 was at around 50 lbs. It ran great and then one day it all started going to crap. Only the front passenger fender had any rust. The rest of the truck was clean save for some dents and scratches. I didn't have he funds to rebuild it and had other vehicles so I let it go. I miss it.

The Tahoe does not look any where close to this good! I'll post pics of it later.

My '96 just rolled 260,000 last weekend, the NV-4500 could stand to be rebuilt but it still stays in all the gears and doesn't make noise (syncros are it's issue). The rear end was gone through a couple thousand ago, the pinion snout/support bearing had grenaded, dropped all of the rollers to the bottom of the housing and missed tearing anything up. *FORTUNATE* It was opened up for a weeping pinion seal. Oh yeah, I need tires soon...

[Camo]

Got 207k '94

[68c10owner]

My 97 GMC shows a little over 227,000 but the negine and trans were replaces somewhere around 150-160,000 miles. Front end could use some work but otherwise still a nice clean truck.

[mountie]

As of today....my '88 GMC C2500 SLE... 379,824. Engine replaced - 220,000, & 700R4 repaired more times than I can remember, until an Art Carr tranny w / a capable 650HP about 9 years ago stopped that frustration.

[Longmire85]

I'm sitting at 238K.

[theastronaut]

Dad and mom have a '96 Tahoe 2wd with around 250-260k on it. They put a GM replacement engine in it at around 160k due to a cracked cylinder- it leaked water into the cylinder and hydrolocked enough to bend a rod. Transmission has never been out of it; serviced only. They tow with it occasionally too, I'm really surprised that the trans had held up this long! Rear axle had to be rebuilt at around 200k, bearings were all bad. Still runs great but the front suspension and steering needs to be completely rebuilt.

[likaroc13]

My old '93 C-1500 was a little shy of 200k when I sold it in '07, still running great on the original 5.7L engine, trans., & rear end. Nothing had been rebuilt at that point, & each performed flawlessly.

[doubleb's69]

Here is the 95 Tahoe. Replaced the ball joints and steering components the last two days. Yes it has a plow mount on it. No it is not plowed with any more. It was used by my dad to plow commercial accounts for around 10 years. And yes it still retains its original drive train with no rebuilds. Feel free to call B.S. but to is the honest truth. Put the kids to work also. They Love helping dad.

[Palf70Step]

My new DD, 1994 C1500 Silverado.

[doubleb's69]

The Tahoe is all aligned and drive like a new truck. It also just surpassed 280,000 miles.

[Cabnchassis]

My BIL has 340,000+ on the 6.5 in his 96 burb and it's only down right now for a broken motor mount.

My 1992 k2500 has 210,000 but my compression tests out just a couple lbs lbs under factory and I dont use a drop of oil. It'd be hard to find a 350 that runs any better than this with half the miles on it. It's a turd on fuel for making so little horsepower but it couldn't be more reliable.
