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.

 

got a 1996 k1500 with 600,000 miles on it work truck. Same engine same transmission. a 1991 with 375,000 a 1995 with 350,000 and a 1997 with 180,000 on it. every one has the same engine but my baby the 97 has a new tranny i just installed.

 

Wow!!

 

Holy crap!!!! Nice.

i need to put a new freeze plugs in it now but that and the alternater are the only problems i have ever had.

 

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.
