250,000k +

[StockHoe]

Just rolled over 250,000 on my 07 Hoe. Lets see how far this thing will take me.

awesome!

Any problems you've had and dealt with in those 250,000?

Would be a lot of help for others so they'd know these beast will make it 250,000+

4 sets of tires
two batteries
o2 sensors
4 new shocks
whole new AC
disabled AFM
lots of oil changes
pads and rotors
plugs (back left is a B*@"H)
Plug cables
valve cover gaskets

whole new AC

WHOLE? Like inside the cab and outside? Blower motors, etc?

plugs (back left is a B*@"H)

overall, that's really not that bad at all

Yep, work gloves, and my '351 Cleveland' extension (1" extension on the socket) makes quick work of it. Actually have about the same trouble with the front passenger side plug as I do with that back one.

That's not too bad in 250k! I've already done most of that at 160k other than valve cover gaskets, AC and o2 sensors but I know they're on the horizon at some point

I changed the inside blower motor, receiver drier, orifice tube, compressor motor, o rings, oil, and belt. It took me a Saturday to got the old ac out and the new one in. I took it to a repair shop to have it recharged. I suggest getting one of the all-in-one kits if you have to fix yours. It works great.

Is your dash cracked? at 250K if its not you are a lucky SOB.

My step mom is pushing 300K on her 01 suburban. She uses it to tow 2 horses every weekend too. it looks like hell, but hasnt let her down once

I wish I was lucky....my dash is cracked in multiple places. I wish GM would do something about it, knowing that they have a defective product. I have had other GM products but when this one goes, that's it for me...on to another brand. GM needs to step up their game...especially since the tax payers bailed them out.

Not yet at least. I had a coupon for a free trans check at a local shop and they said it looks fine. I live in Fl so it's usually always under a lite load, no mountains here. I wonder if that has something to do with it.

Good job still going strong and maintaining your Tahoe to a quarter million miles. I've got 166k on my trans without any issues. At least that I know of since I bought it used from some old dude. Lol. Hopefully this truck will continue to be trouble free for many more years because I plan to keep it as long as possible.
