G.M.'s in line 3.0 diesel video.
Have to say I would be hard pressed to buy any vehicle that the manufacturer stated the engine life was only 150,000 miles! I bet Mr. Truck never gets an invite to another G.M. press show again! LOL ...

Pretty much all vehicles under 8,500 pounds are validated to 150,000 miles.
What's different here is that major components (oil pump belt mainly) will need service at that point, and it does not appear easy to get to. Timing chains rarely fail without warning, so you can just keep on running them until you start getting telltale timing chain slap or valve clatter.
Just because an engine is "only" validated to 150,000 miles does not mean it can't last much, much longer.
