I have a friend in Oshawa Canada that just put his to bed after 587,000 miles and bought a 2006 "new one". He loves it because he is close to 7" tall and spends a lot of time in it going hunting and fishing.. Not sure of all the repairs but I know it was on its 3rd engine. He bought his new one for $14,000, with 110,000 miles on it. To him that is new. By the way his has good access to parts, Oshawa is where the GM plant is that makes them and almost everyone in town works there with big lunch boxes.

'00 burban 5.3 2wd LT

Bought it late 2010 with 149K miles, now has 181K.Was dealer maintained for most it's life,bought it from a Chevy dealer.

Just after I bought it, the driveshaft snapped when my GM mechanic did a "test drive" !! Had to drive 150 miles but scored one off craigs for $80 !!! Most has been little crap, AC/Delco plugs/wires,KYB front shocks,oreilys lifetime brake pads,k&n OEM square filter,diehard battery,NEW GM "updated" steering shaft.

but my luck has ran out,Looks like I now need to replace speakers,belt tensioner and pump/fuel sending unit. :(

2003 Yukon SLT. Just hit 220k. Bought it with 189k in June 2010. I keep doing all kinds of preventative maintenance because I don't know what has been done before. Runs like a champ though.

275k on my 2003 tahoe, 5.3.

Runs like new.

I put a new (well, used, from the junkyard) trans in it at 230k. (original 4L60 lost 3rd/4th gear) Only other "big" problems were a front right wheel bearing, ABS module, and transfer case encoder motor. The front end (tie rods, pitman, idler) is starting to get a little loose, but at 275k miles on factory-original parts, what do you expect. The original shocks are also completely wasted, just have to find time to put on these new rancho 5000's ive had sitting here on the shelf...

Never touched anything on the engine; all original save for oil changes. Trusty old LSx small blocks...they literally need zero maintenance, you can hammer the crap out of them, crank them up to 3x the hp the stock short block was designed for....and they just keep going!

215k on my 01. and it still runs tight as a drum. in fact, when Justing at BB was tuning it, he said he was amazed at how close to factory specs it was. the only thing off from factory was an intake leak which i fixed right after.

120,000 on the '06. Runs awesome, only problem I had was the stupid rear hatch lock/unlock mechanism. Easy to fix just kinda expensive. My rear ac/heat actuator doesn't work but I just switch it to a/c for the summer and heat for winter. Easy fix for now, I don't know why I haven't fixed it. I think I need a GM actuator for it to work, every one I bought local didn't work. Just did rear brakes, used those Raybestos rotors with ac delco pads. The rotors have that black coating on everything but the surface area, hopefully it holds up. Haven't had any other problems besides those parts. Looking forward to a BB tune and some factory 20's for summer wheels.

01 Tahoe LT 2WD 5.3 - 230K

230,000mi on my 2001 Tahoe. Had to replace trans once (around 85,000 mi), and only other major issue was an AC compressor shat itself. Replaced throttle body (to get new throttel servo / IAC motor since its not sold individually) and fixed my ****** idle - apparently that ride-by-wire motor can wear out over time. :hands:

Happy in my Hoe

Just picked up my 2001 Hoe from the transmission shop today with 210,000 miles on the odometer, first trans rebuild and it still runs great. Had only changed the trans oil once at 60k. They told me never ever do a flush. The only other major component that's failed was the ABS pump around 120k about $750. I still have the original front brake pads. Some minor work, belt pulley, spindle, also replaced the catalytic converter once.
