change

[manfoozle]

I am really ready to change up my truck,all i really have now is a decent system,nerf bars,sky jacker 3" lift,decent wheels,and a pretty clean truck..Its a 98 black LT. Thinking about murder out and different motor options when it finally goes.Any one have any idea how long motor lasts if loved all its life?I am at 170,000 .

I know people who've had their yukon/tahoes up to the 300,000 mile mark on the original engine. They were strict with maintenance and quick to repair any minor problems that occurred. Mine has 181,000 miles and still runs really strong, almost like new.

If your does engine goes out, or you are just looking for something different, you could always look into the GMPP HT383E. Its basically the same as the stock L31 in your truck with better internals and it displaces more with a Stroker kit. You get 340 horsepower and 435 lb-ft of torque. It's emissions legal as well (well, maybe not in California).

I hit 245K this past weekend. For celebration I towed a UHaul trailer from Golden Valley AZ to Las Vegas in the middle of the day up hill doing about 80 with the AC on. It did fine.
