no offense taken. its deff a heap i think i have more rust than metal lol. i paid $300 bucks for the truck and have put prolly a total of 72 hrs and $800 into it. whole new front end( ball joints, tie rods, sway bar rods, KYB monomax shocks, i work an auto parts store so i bought the moog chasis and top ofthe line shocks at a price a customer would pay for the cheaper stuff. it has a 4.3l tbi completely stock and a nice set of 31 X10.5 tires. i just bought the truck the day before i did the burnout since i've done the timing chain, fuel pump and filter. everything i have changed was the original factory stuff with 160k miles. ill be putting a flat black paint on the truck to maybe hide the rust and once the weather gets nice ill do another burnout so subscribe if you wanna c the next burnout.

Mine is a 1988 Chevrolet 1500, Extended Cab, Long Bed, Silverado. Right now it's showing 411,090 miles. I've owned it about 5 years. I bought it because it was showing 362,000 miles. I know the engine was rebuilt. We had to put head gasgets on it last year. They weren't GM. The truck runs great. Everything works. I had the transmission done about 6 months ago. It is my every day vehicle.

My 94 has just over 35,000 miles (yes 35k) She's still a young 4.3. I bought it from my great grandfather which was the first owner. Chevrolet is truly and American Revolution!!! 5th Silverado I've owned and I couldn't be happier. Owned a 74, 75, 81, 85 and my 94. How can they reach so many miles??? Do your maintenance and they will run forever!!

I've got a construction business and have used almost exclusively gmc/chevy trucks. '88 K1500 with tool body only has about 100,000, 92 c1500 has 312,000, '92 Z-71 has 314,000, '93 3500 HD gas has 310,000, '95 3500HD diesel has 114,000 and has been parked for four years because the electronics in the 6.5 injection system suck and I'm not pouring anymore money into it!!! I've also got three c-30's and a GMC 7000 parked in the yard for the last four or five years because of the economic collapse. They were all good runners when parked and all of them were in the high 100,000's or low 200'000's mileage wise.

We have a 1996 GMC Jimmy 4 door SUV. We're the original owners and it's still running great! We have the original engine, transmission, and all major components are original. We've thought about selling it — but why! Hahaha I'm sure that we'll get we'll over 500,000 miles on it. Here in Southern California the weather helps to keep it in shape....however, we tow our boat, jet ski's, and take it to Mammoth for snowboarding. None of that has effected it.

My grandfather just gave me is 1992 C1500 Silverado with about 190k on the clock, but about 160k on the motor. The original motor was blown after the service department at the dealer forgot to put oil in when the original owner took it in for routine maintenance. He had the stock one replaced with a crate 305 (at the dealer's expense, of course). I also hace a 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix (GT2, N/A Buick 3800 Series III) with just over 108k and my mother has a 2002 GMC Sierra with a Vortec 5300 and about 180k on the clock.

Good care and good maintenance will save you car payments for years. My brother is a professional cross country truck driver. After every long haul, he gets a complete go over and all filters and fluids are changed. He gets around 2.5 million miles on a truck. He has nearly 8 or 9 one million safe miles awards. Never broke down, always on time, and gets top dollar for loads due to his great looking truck and no worry delivery times. His truck is so well maintained, he gets what he paid for it in trade in each time. Yes it costs money, but sitting on the side of a road, losing money and a tow costs a heck of a lot more.

GunuZBRSB, that's what it's all about. Good maintenance, and very little costs. Sure the newer ones may get 5 MPG better milage, but the savings is pail in comparison to car payments and insurance costs. The older ones can still look good and even turn eyes if they are kept clean, or look like a rat rod truck.

1997 Tahoe. Original Vortec 5.7. Gaskets only broken twice - once intake gasket at 170,000 and distributor at 360,000. Truck now has 400,000 and I'd drive it anywhere. In fact, I just drove it back from Orlando FL to Mississippi (730 miles). Cruised just fine. It doesn't smoke or use oil. I keep the oil changed religiously. Heads have never been off the engine. Heck, it still has the original timing chain and gears on it.

Ten months ago, I posted my brother had 785,000 miles on his truck. He now has 850,000 miles on it, and needs 150,000 miles to each one million miles, and earn his ninth, one million accident free driving award. Unfortunately he cut his last run short as he was experiencing stomach problems and was losing weight. He was diagnosed with stage four pancriac cancer and had to park the truck. He has been taking chemo since the end of September. His bad numbers are down, and he is feeling better. His company has h8 on extended medical, and if and when he passes his physical to be able to drive again, he just may shoot for the one million mile mark and his ninth one million accident free certificate. Wish him well. I was on a road trip from S.Ca. to Montana and driving through Twin Falls Idaho, ran across him two years ago. Small world. Here is the picture.

I have a 1989 c1500 extended cab long bed with 134000 miles. The engine is a 5.0 liter 305 that very few parts will be replaced on. So far the only problem with the truck was when the parking brake failed on a boat ramp and my dad almost lost the truck in Lake Jocassee. What a sight.

50,685

Parking breaks never have been a strong break to hold anything. Don't know any that is reliable enough to hold a heavy car or truck on a steep hill if the vehicle is left out of gear, or not in park. All they are designed for is to assist holding the vehicle when parked, in gear or in park. If you look at the parking breaks, they are small. They also can be adjusted to hold better is worn, but don't use them as the primary holder, especially if on a ramp, and pulling a trailer or boat hauler.
