235ish, rebuild the tranny, replaced some parts that would normally be replaced. No issues at all, still runs great and strong.
2000 Yukon.

I have an 05 with 197k. I am actually on the site today searching for answers to a problem that just started today. Im sure many have experienced this but no power assist in the steering at low speeds.

You find an answer to this? I've had this happen from time to time.

I just bought a 2001 Tahoe LT 2wd with 217,000 miles off of my Dad. He just picked up a 2015. Other than a couple rattles, worn seat, and a blown subwoofer, it looks, feels, and drives like new. I'm hoping to run the odometer past 350,000.

Were they hard miles/pull a trailer/boat often? Makes me worry about mine, if I should go ahead and throw more money in my car fund. My last car was 2001 Tahoe LT and tranny at 140k and engine was still running strong at 213k when I sold it...I'm a daily driver almost all hwy miles and dont pull anything behind me.

2005 Denali with 108,000 Miles

Rolled over 200k this month. Engine leaking oil too. Anyone know where I can get a decent L33 for a good deal?

I have a 2007 with 236,000 miles. Still drive it 50 to 100+ miles a day and take it 2 to 6 hr away once a month. I have had to replace the front hubs on drivers side and passenger side , fix a 4wd switch, and have a front bearing that has gone bad. Other than that it is doing fine.

I'm just over 245k on the original engine and trans. I drive it every day to work, dropping the kids off to school, etc. Just basic maintenance, a water pump, cats, and an alternator. Starts right up and doesn't use any oil or smoke. if it ever takes a dump I'll just fix it and keep it. There's just not a new car out there that I can't live without, plus I don't want a car payment.

Still going.

I posted before, but I since have had to replace the transfer case. That happened at 272,*** and I'm now up to 291,*** on my 2004 Tahoe Z71. Still original motor and trans. My wife keeps asking me when I'm going to get a new vehicle, but I can't see getting rid of this truck. It's been great to me.

I cant wait to break 300,000. Take that all you Toyota owners. Lol

Hiya,

Mine is 236700 and counting. It is a 2002 Yukon 8.1.

i was surprised that there is no rust underneath, it is in great condition mechanically.

I had written a post a while ago, Id like to add to it. My '95 tahoe now has 310,000 miles and is still better to me than any woman iv ever been with, goes to work everyday, towes a trailer half the time, it constantly is taking me on awesome fishing adventures on the beach. I would buy 10 more just like it if I could.

2001 Yukon 1500 XL SLT w/231,000 miles. After much recent expense and work on everything but the engine it is a sweet ride, very quiet and smooth.The previous owner only believed in changing oil/filters and repairing something that failed or defeating the annoying lights that announced a problem. Consequently, it has taken about $3k to set it right. I think it speaks well to the quality of these vehicles that it still performs so well after such neglect. I have been a Ford guy for a very long time although my first car was a '34 Chevy Cabriolet (w/knee-action suspension, now I'll hear from the "experts") but now I am convinced of GM quality.
