Alright, we've got mpg and overall miles, how about how many hours?

Thanks for the reassurance. As I said, runs great- no smoke, no leaks, no misfires, no bad obd codes, no oil in cooling system, no coolant in oil, no bottom end noise, and it was not the typical "cop" truck. I guess the evidence technician was a little easier on it. Interior was clean, no rips or tears. When I saw the 12K, I almost fell over. I don't know much about the 4.8L. I'm going to be around on the forum now. Great site guys!

No shit that didn't last long.

Hi

I'm new here, but I think I have you all beat. 98,500 miles- 12,137 hours. I wish
I would have known about this feature before I bought the truck! It was a Municipal auction- 2003 Tahoe that was used by the evidence technician of a city police department. What does that compute to in regular driving miles- about half a million? lol

yeah, it's not the engines that are weak, its the transmissions that will be the weak link. As long as she running good I wouldn't sweat it. Yours just spent a lot of hours sitting still running.

I would avoid buying a used cop car, though. They beat and drive the hell out of them.

Just a note, The rule of thumb for Miles equal idle time , Is for ever 1 hour idling, You occur close to 30 miles of wear on an engine. so you can't really get a true figure if MPH vs hours run. Plus I bet your hour counter counts even if the key is on and the engine not running.

That's a good point about just the ignition being on, if that is how it works. This truck has dual batteries, maybe he had the accessory on a lot. Who knows. I did talk to a friend of mine who says he's seen many come through his shop, and the engine is pretty much bullet proof, aside from a few maintenance concerns.................. He told me, get in and drive the wheels off it...............

That means over 90 mph as your average speed over the life of the truck, something doesn't add up.
