Mostly still original 887,000 kms.same motor,changed tranny twice
Change tranny twice
i have a beautiful 2005 chevy silverado duramax diesel truck that i need to sell. It looks and drives like new, but it has 311,000 miles on it. There is absolutely no sign of aging whatsoever. Its crazy. The problem is that no one seems to believe me or understand that diesel truck are not the same as gas trucks. Diesel trucks can run for hundreds of thousands of miles. I am moving overseas in two weeks and i need to sell this truck! Help!
The kbb value is $14,500 and i have tried to sell it at $9995 on ebay and craigslist with no luck. Also placed sign in window.
Is price too high? Does anyone have tips or advice? Thanks!

Have a '96 chevy c2500 5.7 350 with 198k miles on it. Engine and tranny original operate exceptional. I enjoy putting in the maintenance on it. When I was in the market for a truck I considered all brands and decided on this truck and I couldn't be happier. The more I learn about this engine, its durability, the ease of maintenance and repair the more I like it.

mine, well, has allot of rust weight now, previous drive never washed after going salt in winter, and orig buyer didn't buy undercoat
good news: truck is much lighter and higher performance with strategic weight trimming !

high miles 1994 Silverado
I have a 91 Silverado C1500 2WD Ext Cab with the 5.7L V-8. I have 208,000 on it. It is still running and gets me there, however, it is on it's last leg.
Been a damn good ole truck though. Tons of memories in that thing!
I sure would like to have a shiny 200,000 mile badge!! Me and my old red Chevy earned it!
