Maybe back in the 60's or 70's. 100k on a gas engine now is no sweat. Welcome to the 21st century, your tour guide should be here shortly.
Correct!! I still can't believe that people still think this.... truth is both engines if taken care of will outlast the truck that there installed in.... the key is maintaining both engines.
X2 or 3 or 4. Had a 2000 Silverado with 5.3 that had 268000 on the ticker when sold in 2013. Still used no oil and had the notorious 99/00 piston slap when cold from day one. PA road salt was it's demise or I probably would of kept it around. I have had many since and during way up over 100K, and a few over 200K. I can not remember many engine issues with any, other than a sensor or two and a couple of coil packs.
