That’s just it though, some cars don’t have an ABUNDANCE of parts, especially like on Craigslist you could simply scroll down the feed and build an entire Silverado 1500 purely from buying 99-07 parts lmfao shits great!
Good video. I bought a new Chevy Silverado in 2000. 4.8 v8. Still driving it. It's been a family truck and a work truck. 364k miles currently. Still has stock engine and transmission. The only thing I've had to repair is 1 water pump, 3 oil sending units, and 2 fuel pumps. I nearly totaled it in 2003 but it's still going strong.
There are two million mile tundras with original engines that had no engine work done, the transmissions lasted over 700,000 miles. One actually wasn't bad, it needed flushed. The other lost reverse at 760,000 miles and they just fixed the reverse instead of rebuilding the transmission and it still made it to over 1 million miles. And they regularly hauled and towed well over what they were rated at. The interiors held up very well, the seats weren't torn and didnt sag.
Both trucks had the 4.7 v8, both were bought at the same dealership in Louisiana, both trucks were driven by oilfield hotshot drivers.. the 1st one the dealership gave the owner a brand new truck
@@ab4drmuscl807 ive got a crew cab 5.7. I really dont need (or want) the 5.7 but I do understand why toyota limits the number of options... it keeps production much easier and cheaper... that 4.7 is a real nice motor and for someone like me who uses a pickup as a person and stuff mover not towing, it would be the best choice... next time around I wont need the full crew cab so i can drop to the 4.7 and double cab
this makes me happy. I recently bought an 07 Chevy 2500HD with the 6.6 duramax, 150k miles. EGR was already deleted and the truck is straight piped so it can breathe and not poison itself with it's own exhaust.
Agree on the Silverados. I recently gave away an '87 1500 long bed with 500K+ miles on it, original motor (5.7) and trans (the old massive industrial 4-speed with the non-synchro granny low gear, invincible transmission). I kept my '89 Suburban, tho, since it's practically new with "only" 235K miles. Great old trucks!
a lot of these "high mileage" terms were loosely used. The 1 million miles tundra had it's transmission rebuilt 3 times engine overhaul twice, Toyota claimed it's original because it's still matching vin
My 95 Chevy K2500 has 321,000 miles on it right now. On the original 454, 4l80, and rear end. Basically no rust, was a mountain truck it’s whole life. It’s my daily driver, I still use it to tow, haul, and take it offroad. It’s the best pickup I’ve ever owned. I highly recommend the 88-98 Chevy trucks.
Redneck Operations amen to that! I have a 95 K1500 350 tbi and it runs like a top, original engine and 4l60e with 230,000 miles. I want to buy a 454, 4l80 truck next!
1998 1500 5.7 460LE, 513,000km, all original drive-train. These trucks will keep going and going as long as you change the fluids regularly from day 1. Three rads, one water pump, one alternator have been the only repairs since new besides regular maintenance brakes/tires/hoses.
And before it hits 250k miles will need a new tranny. A friend of mine bragged about his Chevy too, called him a month later and told me he had to replacd the tranny.
Had to put my 90 year father in nursing home recently, but proud of him for taking good care of his 99 Suburban (4WD/5.7L). Has 506,000 miles on it. He always replaced any part that need replacing as soon it wore out.
My longest runner was a 72 Chev Caprice. It had well over 300,000 miles with no repairs except water pump, shocks, alternator, brakes and exhaust system. A 400ci V-8. It was during the nationwide 50mph speed limit and miles were mostly highway trips. To what extent those conditions contributed to the trouble free miles I cannot say, but it is the most reliable vehicle I have owned.
I had a '67 Caprice I bought my new after getting out of the army. It had a 327ci. I had lifter/rocker arm problems regularily. That was the nicest looking car I have owned, color Royal Plum 2dr hardtop, black vinyl top, purple interior, unfortunately the paint faded more quickly than it should have
2001 Chevy Suburban V8 6.0 2500 300,000 miles traded it in for new car. I had bought this SUV new. Still miss it. One of the best vehicle I ever owned.
Meanwhile one of my customers has an 07 Suburban 6.0 major repairs include: one engine, two transmissions, one transfer case, one rear end and a drive shaft. Worst ls vehicle luck I've ever heard of but she loves her truck.
My 2000 Chevy Suburban is currently at 408,000 miles on original engine and transmission. Friends Chevy Silverado just hit 500,000 original engine and transmission. Great vehicles.
My '99 Ford F-150 has just under 250k miles. Both the engine and transmission are original, and haven't been rebuilt. Still never fails to start. I just got to get the tags updated.
We have a 2004 Dodge 3500 5.9 24valve 6 speed manuel flatbed. It has a tuner, a dual disc clutch, after market turbo. It has 530,000 miles on the original engine and trans. It is still daily driven and pulls a 30,000 lbs trailer everyday.
Excellent ! Ive got a 99 silverado 4x4 5.3 gas i bought used for 8500 a yr ago and it had only 73k original miles from an 88 yr old man that only used it to pull his boat. Its got 80k on it now and has undergone $4000 in upgrades and love that ive done to it. The 99's with 5.3 do have piston slap due to too short of skirts of pistons only when cold, BUT this is a super strong and torquey truck that has been very reliable. GM released a formal statement acknowledging the piston issue and claims will not prevent these trucks from achieving over 300k miles. Thank you for your channel. Im a fan! I can only wonder what this truck might achieve over time, but i plan to sell with in the next 20k miles and go newer tundra. Thanks again, keep up the good work. Also, from your other video i saw u had a red 5.0 mustang. I too was a big fan of this type of car. I had a 1990 black on black 5.0 GT that i loved loved loved! With upgrades also. Hey, great minds! Thanks again.
Ian Heard mine was too 5speed & 4x4 only major things I’ve ever did over yrs was (owned it from 2000 till death in 2016) 2 clutch replacements , 1st one i did myself, 2 fuel pump replacements also did myself, & radiator replacement in 2014 , & some sensers here & there over the yrs, it only had 67,000 miles on it when I brought it & 300,000 + at time of death (tree fell on it from hurricane Matthew , still sealed factory engine , original water pump, & the automatic hubs wore out & replaced them with manual huds, the automatic replacement one were too expensive lol
I got a 89 GMC 4x4 with 290,000 MI and still going strong.! Ford's do not last that long a hundred thousand on a 1977 and it was shot. Never own another Ford I've been always a Chevy person my first car was a 69 Chevelle and that was going strong till I wrapped around a pole
I have a 95 Dodge Dakota 318 4x4 with over 300k, never had any major issues and somehow it survived being abused on the farm, survived my highschool years of neutral drops, burn outs, racing, towing over 11k and getting it stuck in mud pits and it still goes today, everything works, 4x4, transmission and engine. Only problem ever from engine was a timing chain cover that had to be replaced. Next I have a 96 Dodge Ram V10, 4x4, 5spd with over 500k, it spent the first half of its life towing horse trailers all over the country, then we bought it to tear up on the farm and it has been a beast. Gone over the scales at 32k, still runs great, I am driving it to a construction site today. It has only had the 5th gear nut come loose once and the vacuum line for 4x4 has had to be replaced several times because it gets caught on all kinds of stuff driving through pastures, terrible design. Finally I have an 07 Dodge Ram 5.9, 4x4 with 380k, it doesn't count because the whole truck is after market and my daily driver. The whole engine was pulled and rebuilt and balanced, big turbo added, transmission is fully built, driveline, dual CP3 pumps, injectors, etc. It makes 800hp to the wheels and I have beaten the dodge Charger Hellcat with it. It doesn't count because it's all after market and it costs a lot of money to keep this thing running perfect when it's making 300% over stock and has all the bells and whistles to be making over 1300hp with just another turbo and larger injectors.
My 2011 Chevy 3500, 6.6, has over million miles. Speedometer stopped at 999,999 Using my trip meter for keeping track now. Truck runs great, still hauling trailers all over USA daily. Change my oil every 10,000-12,000 miles. Original engine and original transmission replaced at 840,000 miles. Last truck was a 2004 Ford F250 diesel 6.0, got 770,000 miles. Love my Chevy more. Next truck will be a Chevy.
Awesome Video, I have a 2001 5.3 Chevy Vortech, with over 272.000 miles, Still going strong, Transmission was replaced once, over the years it has had the fuel pump replaced, very Common with theses trucks , Thanks again.
1995 Silverado 3500 Dually 4x4 7.4 454SS on 34" Swampers Never had heads off, factory timing chain. 5 water pumps 3 alternators 4 power steering pump 1 ignition switch 6 front hub bearings 12 tie rods 5 pitman arms 2 idler arms 5 sets of front brakes 2 front rotors 1 rear brakes 1 rear brake lines Well maintained Quaker State Oil only 797,459 I'll be buried in it after almost 20 years of daily loyal service!
I have a 2003 Silverado with a 4.8 V8 engine. I bought it from the dealership brand new, now 18 years later I have 210,000 miles on it and it still runs like a clock! Maintenance will determine the life of your truck. I change the oil before the oil life meter is at 20%. They really are damn good trucks. My wife bugs me about getting a new car but I just say nope! Mine runs fine.
2002 suburban 392000 miles so far put valve guild seals, oil ring on oil pump, Alt ,and water pump , And radiator. Still purring .bought it with 196000 on it .
My 2007 GMC Yukon Denali went to 300,000+ miles, I bought it brand new, never broke down. Original engine, Original trans. 6.2 liter. I cried the day I traded it in for a new 17 Yukon Denali
You forgot the ford ranger. I've seen a lot with 300 to 400miles my dad has a 98 mazda ranger with the 495,000 on it right now bought it brand new in 1998. I had a 2003 f150 with 400,000 till someone it me and had another one with 275k . I've been blessed with some good trucks
My 2004 Chevy Silverado 1500 LT 4x4 Z71 has 206000 miles and the only significant work I’ve done on it is replacing the alternator and fuel pump. It’s been a great truck!
My 2000 E-350 van has 593,500 miles all it has needed over that time is a alternator and two fuel pumps no engine rebuilds same engine since new and same transmission never changed the transmission fluid still shifts alright and gets down the road. Has the 5.4L V8 Triton before the three valve design.
No it wasn’t, it was so beat up though, it was like a farm truck. The read end was like hit by a tractor and the axle was sideways with the bed all crunched up on the drivers side. But the engine still ran.
Thanks for this. Currently shopping for a used crew cab with a max budget of $6500. There are HUNDREDS of 04-08 F150s out there, many with rebuilt or replaced engines. I’m afraid of the 5.4 Triton as a result of my research. I’m trying to convince my wife a Tacoma Crew Cab with 200k miles is a safer bet than anything else with 140-170k miles.
2006 chevy colorado 580,000 k. Untouched engine trans and diff. Used for oilfield work, lots of off road, -40 winters. 3.5 liter inline 5cyl gasoline . Still at work.
Couldn't agree more. Any Diesel pre-1997 is Smog exempt in California and the price is skyrocketing in the used market. $25K for a used 4x4 Diesel! Of course, it would cost almost $100K for the same rig new! Bunch of crap. DEALERS Regularly Advertise $10K off MSRP! so you know the profit margin is huge. Greedy bastards.
I have a 2007 F-250 6.0 PowerStroke.. I bought it 4 yrs ago for $19 k .. I’m about to spend 19k,for lack of better terms, on a Bulletproof rebuild. I’ve been on the fence about spending that amount of money... But when I look at a 90k truck payment, the decision is made. Let me know what y’all would do.. Thanks
The first gen dodges ran ran forever standard Tranys were thebest, I know several between 650,000 and 800’000 that were traded off just because the guys driving them wanted new ones and they were all sorry they traded, because their old was better
I am 13 years old and my dad has a GMC sierra and it has 165,000 miles on it and I am getting it in 3 years. I definitely think it will work for that long!
Same I’m 13 and my grandpa has an 09 Silverado with 320,000 km on it and I’m getting it when I’m old enough to drive. It has like 0 rust and still runs amazing.
My dad bought his 95 silverado z71 with the 350 brand new. It has 460k miles on it and has never been rebuilt. Original engine and trans have never been opened up or repaired. Only small issue, starter, 4wd actuator, egr, water pump, and a set of wheel bearings, leaking oil cooler line and a torn CV boot. I honestly think that’s all the problems he has had with it in the last 23 years he has owned it. To add to that my last truck was a 2012 silverado 4x4 1500 and I used it to tow my trailer all over US. It lasted 200k on the original engine and trans but now I have gone to the dark side and bought a 2018 ram 3500 diesel because I didn’t like that the GM trucks def tank hung down so low. It’s going to the dealer later this week for its second check engine light on and it only got 7200 miles. Fingers crossed it’s not a lemon 🍋
cantbsdave yeah 460,000 on a trans is a impressive but my dad doesn’t tow. I beat the shit out of my trans and towed way over my ratings regularly, burn outs, off-roading, snow drifting you name it and it survived 200,000. My dad says drain and fill the trans every 15k seems to be the trick to make transmission last for ever
My 2002 silverado ext. Cab Z71 5.3 has ORGINAL 158667 miles on it I drive it like a 51 year old grandpa make sure tranmission shifts out good when taking off slower I owned her for 17 yrs now
2004 Chevy Suburban Z71 with 5.3L @ 330,000 to date. Bought it used in 2008 with 80k. Has some electrical quirks, but original engine and transmission. Also 2006 Mercury Milan V6 @ 192,188. Plus a 2010 Chevy Malibu 2.4L @ 193,042. All bought used and still running daily. Switched to full synthetic a few years ago. Thankful to be blessed with vehicles I can maintain with the help of RUclips ;)
First truck 1989 GMC 4x4 350 5 speed manual work truck sold it with 210k still running. Second truck, 1998 Dodge Ram 5.2 Magnum 2wd auto with 258k, just sold it the other day.
thats supposed to be one of the worst ford v8 engines, especially if poorly maintained. My dad has a 2006 with the 5.4 and the only problems with it was a sticky thermostat and a loose ignition coil terminal both at 150k
My 2004 silverado 1500 has 320,000 miles now, transmission (planetary gears) went out at 300,000, fairly straight forward to fix . Other than that, no major issues, great truck!
Damn dude thats alot of miles I thought my 2000 Silverado 1500 z71 had a lot of miles at 375000 miles. Its all original with one tranny rebuild I tow 8,500k trailer pretty often.
I have 2008 Silverado with 108,000.. purchased new, just took it in to have all the fluids changed. It should last me over 400k . I will make sure I keep an eye on the burning oil issues.
If it's the 4.8 and not the 5.3 then it should last a long time. The 5.3 from 2007 and up are not reliable and burn oil. If you have the 5.3 with cylinder deactivation I would put a tuner on it and deactivate the cylinder activation on it.
Gilbert Serna Oh Yeah? Do you reckon there are a lot of self-made billionaires who went on to defeat 18 members of their own party to earn the nomination and then go on to defeat the Clinton Crime Family in the General Election who are idiots? Why aren’t you President? Why aren’t you a billionaire? 😁 I think we see who the TRUE idiot here is!
My 1994 F150 Ext Cab 4x4 302 5 speed had 780,000 miles on it when it got parked. The body was like swiss cheese & the transfer case was getting weak ,but was running when I parked it. I used Full Synthetic Oil from brand new & used full Synthetic fluids for everything else!
Our shop truck is a 1996 Tacoma with the 2.4L...its currently@430k. It gets it's oil changed whenever I remember and always whatever oil is cheapest. It often sees 10k between oil changes.Usually pep boys proline oil or napa oil. It's original clutch lasted 369k. Engine,trans,rear end have never been opened up. It recently passed the California enhanced emissions test with flying colors!
I AGREE ON CHEAP OIL AND CHANGE IT OFTEN...9000 or 10,000 miles/.I mean it.I have an OCD bud that ran past his 3000 miles on an oil change,pulled off the road and had it towed!
@@leewatkins1610 ya that may be excessive! I have customers with hot rods. Mostly Chevy engines. They hit 190degrees in a parade and shut them off and push them off to the side to cool.
My Toyota pickup, yes, before the Tacoma and Tundra, has over 400k and still running strong. Also, as you said, my last emissions test, it didn’t just pass, it passed with numbers way under the limits.
You need to factor in the number of vehicles produced, with the number that reached 400k plus miles. This will give you the odds of a particular vehicle lasting that long.
The older trucks were the best. I just picked up a clean rust free 2004 Silverado 2500 crew cab 6.0 from out in California. Only has 141k miles on it. Still runs like new. I’ve seen a bunch of people that got 300k-500k out of the 6.0 so I’m hoping it lasts a long time.
I’ve read that the engines with cylinder de-activation were prone to excess oil consumption and complete failure.I never liked the idea of banks of cylinders shutting down,no matter how seamless it might be.
2007 GMC Sierra HD 2500 6.0 Gas 325,000 miles on original stock engine and transmission. Only parts replaced are 1 alternator and 1 throttle body . All regular oil changes at 5,000 miles using synthetic oil and regular maintenance on tranny and rear end differential.
Never had that issue on near 100 degree days with high humidity and the ac going. I imagine that if it were a 4.0 diesel it would run cooler. That would be nice though. Or a 4bt swap. Now that would be some competition. A Jeep that comes stock with a 4bt would be competition. For the upcoming ford ranger and bronco in 2020. And a 4bt would be a sure thing since Jeeps are Mopar.
GA, I Live in Parkville md, and purchased a 2004 Chevy Silverado 1500 Z-71 in 2015! The vehicle had over 200,00 miles and now I’m at well over 400,000!
We have a Silverado Z71 1995. It has 428,442 miles on original engine and transmission. Only the intake manifold gaskets were replaced. The frame has rusted to the breaking point, still runs but she is parked. We bought it new with 12 miles on it. It does not leak or burn oil or ATF.
Rock on buddy! I just found a rust free 02' 1500 HD. Only has 130k. Only problem is she shifts hard after being on highway. All searches show torque converter needs replaced. I have done all scheduled maintenance on it since I've had it for 3 months. Any issues with yours or ideas? Thanks alot
I have a 97 Ram 2500 with the 12 valve 5.9 diesel motor (6bt) and the odometer stopped working at 601,000 miles. It stopped working 3 years ago so im sure I have over 700,000 original miles by now. I have rebuilt the transmission, replaced the head gasket, and installed head studs in order to handle other motor modifications. The weakest link in these trucks is the crappy transmission behind arguably the best diesel motor ever built. I feel like his info was biased.... he called a 3 way tie yet the dodge rams had nearly double the mileage of most the other manufacturers....how is that a tie? The dodge definitely wins the shittiest seats competition though!!
There's a ton of trucks out there Chevy,Ford and dodges with over 5ook. Trucks are indeed built to last around that 500k mark before timing chains break. Cars about 300k. Just because he dosent have em iv seen 100s in my life. All 3 manufacturers are fine. Each has there quarks
cemetery76 i know right. I have always checked it and looked at the color. The truck does have a factory towing package so it has transmission cooler and all that good stuff. Which is something you not see on the 4.2.
Joel Rees I have the same truck and year, mines at 230,000 original drivetrain. Love it! Any tips on how you reached over 600k? I respect that, that’s awesome
Chevy's burning oil is caused by the variable engine timing. Reset the engine computer or buy the plug in economy bypass to stay v8 all the time. The oil consumption problems will go away.
Anyone just needs to look on the streets of any town and do a mental survey of what they see to being the oldest and longest lasting trucks on the road.Chey vy peroid
Been through lot's of cars and trucks in my life, swapped out after a couple of years until 2009 when I purchased a 2006 GMC Sierra 2500HD 4X4 duramax in SLT trim. I've had this truck for 12 year's now and never plan to get rid of it. It has the LBZ powerplant.
#1, if an engine has been rebuilt, nothing counts!
@Francisco Nieves The problem is you can make anything last forever if you keep rebuilding it. At some point the only thing original is the VIN tag.
I replaced literally everything at least twice but I have over a million miles on it! No. No you don't.
That’s just it though, some cars don’t have an ABUNDANCE of parts, especially like on Craigslist you could simply scroll down the feed and build an entire Silverado 1500 purely from buying 99-07 parts lmfao shits great!
Not the transmission though. That's fair

If the power train has been replaced that should not be allowed on the list.

My 95 Chevy K2500 has 321,000 miles on it right now. On the original 454, 4l80, and rear end. Basically no rust, was a mountain truck it’s whole life. It’s my daily driver, I still use it to tow, haul, and take it offroad. It’s the best pickup I’ve ever owned. I highly recommend the 88-98 Chevy trucks.

Redneck Operations amen to that! I have a 95 K1500 350 tbi and it runs like a top, original engine and 4l60e with 230,000 miles. I want to buy a 454, 4l80 truck next!
98 k1500 5.7L 433,000 KM original motor and trans still my daily driver!
1998 1500 5.7 460LE, 513,000km, all original drive-train. These trucks will keep going and going as long as you change the fluids regularly from day 1. Three rads, one water pump, one alternator have been the only repairs since new besides regular maintenance brakes/tires/hoses.
I have a 99....454 it is a stud

Look at 7:35 mark. I had to check too because never seen a dog so still. Mine sure aren't., even when they sleep.
2000 5.3 Silverado w/228k and still running strong ,been one hell of a dependable truck.
I had a 99 silverado with a 5.3 and the original trans with 375k miles when i sold it
Wow, my tran lost reverse about 140k
And before it hits 250k miles will need a new tranny.
A friend of mine bragged about his Chevy too, called him a month later and told me he had to replacd the tranny.
I got a 02 1500 z71 pushing 280k still runs and shifts strung and as far as know motor and trans hasn't been rebuilt been a grate truck
That 4l06 or whatever the 5.3 4 speed auto is called has a bad rap for losing reverse but after it is rebuilt 👌
Got 330,000 on my 2001 5.3 she’s still running strong
My stepdad has 400,000 on his 4.8 those ls based engines are insane. It's making me think about going with a newer silverado
Had to put my 90 year father in nursing home recently, but proud of him for taking good care of his 99 Suburban (4WD/5.7L). Has 506,000 miles on it. He always replaced any part that need replacing as soon it wore out.
My longest runner was a 72 Chev Caprice. It had well over 300,000 miles with no repairs except water pump, shocks, alternator, brakes and exhaust system. A 400ci V-8.
It was during the nationwide 50mph speed limit and miles were mostly highway trips. To what extent those conditions contributed to the trouble free miles I cannot say, but it is the most reliable vehicle I have owned.
I had that 72 Caprice..also had a 71 Nova..couldnt kill those engines. They dont make them like that any longer..
I had a '67 Caprice I bought my new after getting out of the army. It had a 327ci. I had lifter/rocker arm problems regularily. That was the nicest looking car I have owned, color Royal Plum 2dr hardtop, black vinyl top, purple interior, unfortunately the paint faded more quickly than it should have
2001 Chevy Suburban V8 6.0 2500 300,000 miles traded it in for new car. I had bought this SUV new. Still miss it. One of the best vehicle I ever owned.
Meanwhile one of my customers has an 07 Suburban 6.0 major repairs include: one engine, two transmissions, one transfer case, one rear end and a drive shaft. Worst ls vehicle luck I've ever heard of but she loves her truck.
Rarely will an overhead valve engine last that long due to cam chains coming loose and causing damage
Chris Atkinson could it be poor maintenance or abuse? Or just a lemon.

My 2002 Chevy Silverado has 439k miles stock motor and transmission! My papa bought in brand new with 14 miles on it
That's impressive buddy keep it going!!
What problems have you had
Pretty impressive dude !
Awesome! Keep it in the family
What motor the 5.3 ?
I just hit 400,000 miles on my 2004 Toyota sequoia limited Gods good!
My 2000 Chevy Suburban is currently at 408,000 miles on original engine and transmission. Friends Chevy Silverado just hit 500,000 original engine and transmission. Great vehicles.
My '99 Ford F-150 has just under 250k miles. Both the engine and transmission are original, and haven't been rebuilt. Still never fails to start. I just got to get the tags updated.
We have a 2004 Dodge 3500 5.9 24valve 6 speed manuel flatbed. It has a tuner, a dual disc clutch, after market turbo. It has 530,000 miles on the original engine and trans. It is still daily driven and pulls a 30,000 lbs trailer everyday.
You'd be f***** if it was an automatic
It's all luck of the draw and/or religious maint. I got a buddy who had to completely rebuild is 04 Cummins at just over 140k...
Daniel Salmon yep that’s why we bought that one because of the manual

Excellent ! Ive got a 99 silverado 4x4 5.3 gas i bought used for 8500 a yr ago and it had only 73k original miles from an 88 yr old man that only used it to pull his boat. Its got 80k on it now and has undergone $4000 in upgrades and love that ive done to it. The 99's with 5.3 do have piston slap due to too short of skirts of pistons only when cold, BUT this is a super strong and torquey truck that has been very reliable. GM released a formal statement acknowledging the piston issue and claims will not prevent these trucks from achieving over 300k miles. Thank you for your channel. Im a fan! I can only wonder what this truck might achieve over time, but i plan to sell with in the next 20k miles and go newer tundra. Thanks again, keep up the good work. Also, from your other video i saw u had a red 5.0 mustang. I too was a big fan of this type of car. I had a 1990 black on black 5.0 GT that i loved loved loved! With upgrades also. Hey, great minds! Thanks again.
Hi Casket Black, thanks for the comments and kudos. Sounds like we think alike lol. Stay tuned, more to come.

I have an 86 Silverado k10 with a 350. Its currently sitting at 586k miles
STOP lying
I have a 95 Dodge Dakota 318 4x4 with over 300k, never had any major issues and somehow it survived being abused on the farm, survived my highschool years of neutral drops, burn outs, racing, towing over 11k and getting it stuck in mud pits and it still goes today, everything works, 4x4, transmission and engine. Only problem ever from engine was a timing chain cover that had to be replaced.
Next I have a 96 Dodge Ram V10, 4x4, 5spd with over 500k, it spent the first half of its life towing horse trailers all over the country, then we bought it to tear up on the farm and it has been a beast. Gone over the scales at 32k, still runs great, I am driving it to a construction site today. It has only had the 5th gear nut come loose once and the vacuum line for 4x4 has had to be replaced several times because it gets caught on all kinds of stuff driving through pastures, terrible design.
Finally I have an 07 Dodge Ram 5.9, 4x4 with 380k, it doesn't count because the whole truck is after market and my daily driver. The whole engine was pulled and rebuilt and balanced, big turbo added, transmission is fully built, driveline, dual CP3 pumps, injectors, etc. It makes 800hp to the wheels and I have beaten the dodge Charger Hellcat with it. It doesn't count because it's all after market and it costs a lot of money to keep this thing running perfect when it's making 300% over stock and has all the bells and whistles to be making over 1300hp with just another turbo and larger injectors.
My 2011 Chevy 3500, 6.6, has over million miles. Speedometer stopped at 999,999 Using my trip meter for keeping track now. Truck runs great, still hauling trailers all over USA daily. Change my oil every 10,000-12,000 miles. Original engine and original transmission replaced at 840,000 miles. Last truck was a 2004 Ford F250 diesel 6.0, got 770,000 miles. Love my Chevy more. Next truck will be a Chevy.

@hankm16 that's the unfortunate fact of running bigger tires. They weigh a lot. Things break sooner.
I really dont think u can compare a diesel engine to a gasoline one either. A friend of mine has 1.7 million miles on his 89 ford diesel truck.
Are they freeway or local miles. You can drive a CAMPY truck on the freeway to 400000 but not local.

What engines in each truck ??
My 2004 Chevy Silverado 1500 LT 4x4 Z71 has 206000 miles and the only significant work I’ve done on it is replacing the alternator and fuel pump. It’s been a great truck!
Most vehicles can get over 300,000 miles if people would just take care of them
I hope so buddy my 2002 silverado ext. Cab z71 I owned so far has 158668 miles own her 17 yrs so far I'm 51 now and drive like a grandpa.
My 2000 E-350 van has 593,500 miles all it has needed over that time is a alternator and two fuel pumps no engine rebuilds same engine since new and same transmission never changed the transmission fluid still shifts alright and gets down the road. Has the 5.4L V8 Triton before the three valve design.

1,400 Miles??? Holy crap, it might just last forever!!
Hahaha. . . Once i saw a 2003 Dodge Cummins in an auction that had 834,000 miles.
No it wasn’t, it was so beat up though, it was like a farm truck. The read end was like hit by a tractor and the axle was sideways with the bed all crunched up on the drivers side. But the engine still ran.
I personally drove an E350 7.3 ford diesel that lasted me 470, 000 miles without any major repairs.
Thanks for this. Currently shopping for a used crew cab with a max budget of $6500. There are HUNDREDS of 04-08 F150s out there, many with rebuilt or replaced engines. I’m afraid of the 5.4 Triton as a result of my research. I’m trying to convince my wife a Tacoma Crew Cab with 200k miles is a safer bet than anything else with 140-170k miles.

People rebuild trucks because of the 80k price tag. Not really built better, just worth fixing because of the absurd cost of new.
its very expensive to fix junk
Dave so we go buy new junk....
Couldn't agree more. Any Diesel pre-1997 is Smog exempt in California and the price is skyrocketing in the used market. $25K for a used 4x4 Diesel! Of course, it would cost almost $100K for the same rig new! Bunch of crap. DEALERS Regularly Advertise $10K off MSRP! so you know the profit margin is huge. Greedy bastards.
When my 09 f150 craps out. I'll fix it. Works perfect but I'm already calling it my project truck.

My dad bought his 95 silverado z71 with the 350 brand new. It has 460k miles on it and has never been rebuilt. Original engine and trans have never been opened up or repaired. Only small issue, starter, 4wd actuator, egr, water pump, and a set of wheel bearings, leaking oil cooler line and a torn CV boot. I honestly think that’s all the problems he has had with it in the last 23 years he has owned it. To add to that my last truck was a 2012 silverado 4x4 1500 and I used it to tow my trailer all over US. It lasted 200k on the original engine and trans but now I have gone to the dark side and bought a 2018 ram 3500 diesel because I didn’t like that the GM trucks def tank hung down so low. It’s going to the dealer later this week for its second check engine light on and it only got 7200 miles. Fingers crossed it’s not a lemon 🍋
Jimmy4x4 Socal a miracle- that trans in tricks down here for some reason can’t make it past 100K. We sell tons of them reman
cantbsdave yeah 460,000 on a trans is a impressive but my dad doesn’t tow. I beat the shit out of my trans and towed way over my ratings regularly, burn outs, off-roading, snow drifting you name it and it survived 200,000. My dad says drain and fill the trans every 15k seems to be the trick to make transmission last for ever

2004 chevy silverado 1500 4.8 liter V8 228000 still Runs great burns no oil✌
I have 2008 Silverado with 108,000.. purchased new, just took it in to have all the fluids changed. It should last me over 400k . I will make sure I keep an eye on the burning oil issues.
If it's the 4.8 and not the 5.3 then it should last a long time. The 5.3 from 2007 and up are not reliable and burn oil. If you have the 5.3 with cylinder deactivation I would put a tuner on it and deactivate the cylinder activation on it.
Well if they needed a rebuild it didn't last 400,000 miles. Kind of defeats the purpose

@@leewatkins1610 ya that may be excessive! I have customers with hot rods. Mostly Chevy engines. They hit 190degrees in a parade and shut them off and push them off to the side to cool.
My Toyota pickup, yes, before the Tacoma and Tundra, has over 400k and still running strong. Also, as you said, my last emissions test, it didn’t just pass, it passed with numbers way under the limits.
You need to factor in the number of vehicles produced, with the number that reached 400k plus miles. This will give you the odds of a particular vehicle lasting that long.
It also depends on where the vehicle is, how it’s used, how it’s maintained and who is the driver. Many factors involved.
I have a 2003 Sierra I bought new, paid $15,600.00 for it. Currently has 187,000 miles. I do all the regular maintenance on it, drive it daily.
The older trucks were the best. I just picked up a clean rust free 2004 Silverado 2500 crew cab 6.0 from out in California. Only has 141k miles on it. Still runs like new. I’ve seen a bunch of people that got 300k-500k out of the 6.0 so I’m hoping it lasts a long time.

I have a 97 Ram 2500 with the 12 valve 5.9 diesel motor (6bt) and the odometer stopped working at 601,000 miles. It stopped working 3 years ago so im sure I have over 700,000 original miles by now. I have rebuilt the transmission, replaced the head gasket, and installed head studs in order to handle other motor modifications. The weakest link in these trucks is the crappy transmission behind arguably the best diesel motor ever built. I feel like his info was biased.... he called a 3 way tie yet the dodge rams had nearly double the mileage of most the other manufacturers....how is that a tie? The dodge definitely wins the shittiest seats competition though!!
There's a ton of trucks out there Chevy,Ford and dodges with over 5ook. Trucks are indeed built to last around that 500k mark before timing chains break. Cars about 300k. Just because he dosent have em iv seen 100s in my life. All 3 manufacturers are fine. Each has there quarks
341,000 on my 96 Chevy 1500 I bought brand new! Still looking good and get compliments on it frequently!

I drive a 06 Chevy Suburban 5.3L Very good SUV had mine for 4 years thing is a beast. It's never let me down💪
2001 f150 4x4 4.2 has 380,000. Nothing done to motor or transmission the transmission still has original fluid. With around 200,000 of towing miles.
jpowers5023 nice!
don't change that fluid lol
cemetery76 i know right. I have always checked it and looked at the color. The truck does have a factory towing package so it has transmission cooler and all that good stuff. Which is something you not see on the 4.2.
guy proulx that is awesome how heavy was your enclosed trailer.
Why wouldn't you change the fluid? Theres no way man, fluid doesn't last that long.
1999 gmc sierra 367,000 miles original motor and trans. Drive it every day.
95 k1500 5.7 just turned over 630k original motor and tranny never been rebuilt. Lots of rust. Runs great.
Joel Rees I have the same truck and year, mines at 230,000 original drivetrain. Love it! Any tips on how you reached over 600k? I respect that, that’s awesome
My Honda went to 213,000 miles before I sold it to a friend of mine, no rebuilt engine. Still runs great.
1999 f550 7.3 powerstroke diesel. 305k miles, only replaced oil pump once. I put about 100+ miles daily.
Chevy's burning oil is caused by the variable engine timing. Reset the engine computer or buy the plug in economy bypass to stay v8 all the time. The oil consumption problems will go away.
K Wilson wish I'd known this few years ago. Sold pickup I really liked because of this issue. Person I sold it to trashed it.
K Wilson yh
Mostly leaking valve covers.
Friend had his programmed to have that taken care of cost him like $100 i think.
Yes, I know. More stupid b.s. put on the trucks to try and meet the 2025 CAFE standards. You can thank Obama for that one too.
I have an 04’ GMC Yukon XL with 260,000 miles. Just watching the miles go up and see how long it lasts.
Anyone just needs to look on the streets of any town and do a mental survey of what they see to being the oldest and longest lasting trucks on the road.Chey
