Racking up the miles.







I changed the oil, filter and rotated the tires yesterday.
I do this every 5000 miles. I'm guessing that I've changed the oil somewhere around 38 times. :E

It has only been in the shop once and that was at 180,000 miles for a new fuel pump. Other than that only a few light bulbs.




I checked the factory brake pads while I had the tires off and there's still plenty of pad.

This has been an excellent truck.

I was always a Ford man but for a few reasons I bought a Chevy.
I had a hard time finding a regular cab pickup.

I'd call and ask if they had one n the lot and the standard reply was, "why do you want a regular cab?"

My response was, "Well I guess you don't. Have a nice day". click
  • Another example of good maintenance equaling a long service life.
  • Ah the benefits of the GM 6.0.... I spoke to a guy a few weeks ago that has an 08 model. Pulls trailers for his land clearing business all day. Got over 300k so far with nothing but a few batteries, water pump and brakes ... .I hope the new 6.6 last as long.
  • Very impressive! My mom got to 98,000 miles on her 1997 Blazer on original brakes and tires before giving it to my sister with still a little life left. Mom cruises down the highway very gently
  • Good truck... I'm at +180k miles and had brake pads replaced at around 125k miles. I do a lot of driving in Houston.
