100,000 mile report
Ok, my 06 LBZ truck just turned 100,000 miles and I want to make a report of the good, the bad, and the ugly. About 25% of those miles were towing. It always makes me chuckle when people say "I ha...

It always makes me chuckle when people say "I have 20,000 miles on my truck and it's been a great truck."
Well hell, I hope so! It's a brand new truck!
Anyway, here we go.
Engine:
10 oil changes
6 fuel filter changes
2 new glow plugs
2 Air filters
1 set batteries (2)
That's it for the engine.
Other things:
2 sets of tires (factory + 2 sets I put on.)
4 shocks at 50K
4 steering boxes (Don't ask; it did not need any):M
1 set of engine oil cooler hoses.
4 burnt out lights in the steering wheel buttons
1 Steering column bearing
1 intermediate steering shaft
That's pretty much it. Pretty good for 100,000 miles. As far as I'm concerned it won't be a good truck until I get 200,000 with no drive train repairs. Then and only then I will say it is a good truck. :)
I really like towing with this truck but don't like driving it solo. All in all, I like my truck. :)
I have to tell you engine oil cooler hoses, steering column bearing, and steering shaft should not fail in 100,000 miles. Not good service.
That's the norm for that body style GM. Just like the water pump and steering on the third gen Rams and engines in the Fords. He has had pretty good service out of it in my book.
