Re: How many miles you got?

Mines a 92 model, 350, 700R-4 trans, 132,xxx as of now (nearly 60,000 of that has been put on it over the past 4 years BTW). It gets about 300+ miles a week too, runs fine. I use Valvoline MaxLife oil (10w30), 16oz. of STP Oil Treatment, and a bottle of some kind of fuel treatment at every oil change (3000 miles).

My Dad's is a 91, same engine and tranny, 115,xxx (I think), with the same maintenance (only he uses 10w40). His really has it rough though becusae it barely gets 50 miles a week, lol (and I'm not j/k about that being hard on a vehicle).

My uncle just bought a 92 C3500 dually. It's got 149,xxx showing and has a 454, but it is a crate engine, so I dont really know how many miles are on it. He just got it pretty much in order to pull a 24ft enclosed trailer. He had been towing it with his 03 Z-71 which handled it really well, but you really need atleast a 3/4-ton truck to pull a boxed trailer IMO.

I know another person with a 92 K1500, 4.3 and a 5-spd with over 200,000 miles, still drives it every day, and he puts probably 300+ miles a week on it as well.

My cousin has a 92 K1500, Z-71. It has around 150,000-160,000 showing, but I believe the odometer got rolled back by the original owner (he's the 3rd). It has a GM Crate Engine as well as a different tranny, but again, who knows the actual mileage on this truck (somebody close to the people that had it said probably well over 200,000). Either way, it evidentally is a tough truck, becuase he run it almost dry of oil one time (had to add 4 quarts to it, they only hold 5) and nothing has happend as of yet, and thats been probably 9 months ago, lol. He doesn' take the best of care of it (neither did the original owners), plus its got a 3-inch body lift and 315/75/16s.

But these trucks have a proven track history I would say. Its def. not uncommon to see them with over 200k.

My 96 has 114000 on it, I am the second owner. Just bought it about 3 months ago. Traded in a 2000 Silverado, and I already like this truck better than that Silverado!!
Chevy quit building trucks in 99 as far as I am concerned...
JMHO

And I agree with J-ri, the 4.3 and 5.7 are awesome motors!!
I like my 5.7 better than that ticking 5.3 that I had!!
I have also owned a 4.3, very strong for a V-6!!

I have a 98 GMC K1500 w/217,000 miles on it and it runs great.I'm just now starting to have problems with the emissions system(Evap, and O2 sensor circuits).Also I have a code P1810( TFP valve position switch circuit).But up until now it's been a great reliable truck.Most mileage put on it was done pulling a load behind it also.
