mrsmothers · 03-28-2013, 10:37 PM

the 05 has been a really good truck. I am trying to get pictures of my good friends od. last I looked he is at 500k on his but he has the 5.3

BIG MAC · 03-29-2013, 07:03 PM

Kinda doubt I'll win this but I'll play lol

2000 Z71 5.3

Not bad for a 13 year old truck.

nxtlevl · 03-29-2013, 07:18 PM

My dad has a 2000 ECSB Silvy with around 42,000 actual miles, and I have a RCSB Silvy with around 128,000.....Next time I'm out at his house I'll grab a picture....

67ChevyRedneck · 03-29-2013, 09:14 PM

Wow! My truck is a baby compared to yours and that's on an 05??? Wow! Mine is a 2000 with 142,000. Other than oil changes I've had to swap the 4wd dash swith, fix the "tow/haul" mode in shifter (wires typically break inside of shifter, easy fix) and my washer pump hose cracked (cheap fix but was a pain to remove/reinstall). Love these trucks.

My '02 is at 273k on original tranny and motor, still running great. I think I win.

Oh, dang. Haha. I must've mis-read it. You've got that many miles on an untouched gas motor?

Gen III engines easily go that long & longer, A 4L60E going that many miles is rare.

mrsmothers · 03-30-2013, 10:21 PM

Yea I learned a long time ago if you dont tow that much with the 4l60e they will hold up.

Leedogg · 04-02-2013, 02:08 PM

I'll have to edit with a pic when I get home- but I recently bought a 01 Sub Z71, 309K on the clock, and the engine stopped holding oil pressure at idle...(JUST swapped in a 88K mile 5.3).

So the original 5.3 made it to 309K, don't know if the trans has been overhauled. I'd be suprised if it hasn't, but then again it has a travelling preachers truck...so who knows. Everything else is original, 'cept the wheels. Not for long though. 6" lift and 35's going on it this week.

*dajn* · 04-04-2013, 09:28 PM

My 2000 suburban with a 5.3 has almost 305,000 miles and still has the original transmission. Original motor made it to 280,000 miles before giving up. Love the vortec motors. I got into a minor argument the other day with a ford guy who was talking up his 98 f-150. Those 5.4 triton motors are a joke compared to a 5.3 vortec. At least the vortec doesnt blow plugs out the head and its reliable and easy to work on. Well its easier to work on than a triton anyway.
