160,000 miles both tranny and motor, rebuilt rear end, 1 wheel bearings, brakes of course but not till over 120,000, but this here was the most pain in the ass cost more for this than rebuilding the rear end the cat convertors which is one piece $500. OK now who doesnt have the piston slap?

Re: how many miles on orig motor and trans

107,000 and the intake gasket just blew on my '97. Only other thing I know of is the fuel pump at about 95k. Tranny still holding on.... for now.

My Crank seal dumped at 24,000 miles and now at 35,000 miles, there is a LOUD engine knock at start-up in the morning. Goes away after 1-2 minutes, but it sounds like a rod. Goes to the Dealer on Monday. We'll see.....

A little less than 100 away from 26000. I've only put about 1500 miles on it 5 months

101,000 miles

I took my '02 2500HD in yesterday to change the drive train fluids. Never had a problem with the engine or tranny before. But after changing the filter yesterday, something happened that apparently blew the pump in the tranny.

Re: how many miles on orig motor and trans

04 silvy bought new. Only 32000 or so miles. No major problems so far, but the warranty is almost up so hopefully they will come soon or not at all.
