I have a 97 K1500 V8 with 5.7 Z71, at 136,000 I replaced the transmission, I have had no problems with my engine I have had no problems, just normal mainteinance will do. I love it.

RE: My New Truck Buy
i have a 1990 and just rolled over 200,000 miles and she still will get up and go. but i am on my second tranny but thats only because i am a teenager and i love to go mudding with guys who have 6 inches of lift or bigger and i follow them. but if you treat it right that truck should last a long time with normal maintance.
