Thoughts for high mileage truck.

[Joe Kain]

1999 x-cab Z71 with 146,000 and still runs great. I just hope to get another 146K out of it.

I currently have a 96 GMC Z71 with 290,000 original motor and 1 trans. I think its time to pass it on to someone that does not have as far to travel. I want to find one that has been as dependable and not to hard on the pocket book. What would you consider high miles on a diesel 200k?
I hate to get another truck, as good as this truck has been, but I just don't feel comfortable making a 900 mile round trip as I do pretty often.

98 F-150 Service it every 10,000 miles. Just what I have always done. Have changed the plugs and wires and the alternator and battery. Runs great.

I have a 99 Tahoe with the 350 with about 194k on it, and my Dad has a 94 C1500 with the 4.3 with over 300k on it. Both are on the original engine and doing fine. Transmission has been rebuilt in both. We've had several Chevys with over 150k, and the first problem you typically run into is the transmission, usually around that mark.

I have a 04 f150 super crew with 85000 miles on it. i have put 41,000miles on it in about 13 months. I am in sales and drive this on the road every day. No problems so far and i am going to take it as long as it will go. Good Luck.

I have a 1999 Suburban with 160,000 miles a still going strong. Replaced the water pump and regular maintenance.

2000 gmc with 247k same engine and transmission. I keep it serviced and this truck pulls 12k fifth wheel camper.

I don't think you get to highmileage until after about 150K.. Chevy is just getting broken in about 100,000

Glad i found this forum and this thread i just bought a 2004 F-150 4x4 has 75K miles on er and cranks drives runs like a brand new 1 but was kinda leary of the miles on it on how long it would keep runnin for but this kinda makes me feel better about the truck. I did have a 1990 Yota 4x4 V-6 that had rite at 200K when i sold it and i didnt sale it cuz she was worn out just to small for my fat butt and all my friends fat butts she was a good 1 and was awesome in the mud never had it stuck or even close to being stuck

Now I don't feel so bad with my 98 S-10 that has over 265k miles.

I have a '98 Chevy Z-71 - 3" lift - been pulling boats, trailers, tractors, you name it, it's a huntin' truck.
232,000 miles on it - Runs 75-80 mph everywhere I go, still going STRONG. Had to get a new bearings in the rearend ($715) at 160,000 miles cause I pulled big tractors too many times with it. My next one will be a Chevy 2500 HD.

Other than the rearend, I have bought 1 set of new front rotors, a water pump, fuel pump, a set of new shocks, and radiator side tanks (they are plastic and busted from hard bumps and heat). That is it.
