Yea, ya thread stomper!!
I have a 97 K1500 with 310,000 on it. Had a new motor at 280,000 and a couple of trannys thru her life, but I ride her hard, as I work construction. Pulls a bobcat occasionally, hauls busted up concrete, lumber, pavers, block you name it. I won't put her down until the bitter end! Wife says I need a new truck. NAH!!

my 89 has over 300k on it and is just now starting to smell like the rings are starting to go. I'm at least the 7th owner of this truck and from what I can tell...the only one who cared to maintain it. you should have no problem making yours go another 100k.

A Louisiana man once had to call K and N to get a new air filter for his truck. He went 1,000,000 miles on his Chevy Silverado with the K and N filter that he got on it when it was brand new. I think it was like a 1997 or something. Now that's good mileage from a silverado.
