Keep up with the fluid changes on the transmission, severe service. Those transmissions in the K2s have a thermostat and they run as hot as the motor or near so.

Out of curiosity..
Have you had any issues with the A/C?
Is your AFM still enabled?
Do your have a Catch Can?
Have you ever done a Induction Service?
Any major issues to report?
Just wondering. I am at 80K miles right now on my 2016 LT and so far just plain old regular maintenance every 5K miles. Knock on wood.

You said you have 80K miles- now is the time to make a decision on the future of your truck. When mine hit 100K miles, there was a giant flushing sound. That was my trade in value.
My Tahoe has been good to me. So, at 80K, the value was still good, but I decided to go long and keep it. I still have the ‘89 K1500 I bought new. I never regretted keeping Ol Blue and now, people pester me because they want to buy it. Just food for thought. Btw- ‘Ol Blue has 240K on the original engine.View attachment 241342
I just finished paying my Tahoe so do not want any more payments anytime soon. Plus I can not see buying a vehicle that looks almost exactly like the one I have now. I just assume fix it here and there then have payments.
Like you I keep up with service. My Tahoe is always ready to roll 24/7 no matter how far. I have zero complaints with my Tahoe since day 1.
Just had the brakes checked recently and to my amazement they are still good for another 5-10K miles at least.
I am probably on borrowed time with the a/c [has been on since day 1 as I never shut it off] so time will tell with that.
Only in the past couple of days the battery is sounding weak. Since I am almost due for service going let the GMC dealer put a new battery in while I am there next week.
I honestly HATE vehicle shopping as you just do not know if the vehicle your buying is going to be good or if it is going to go sideways. There are members right here in this forum that bought new 2019-2020 Tahoe-Yukon who had to go back to the dealer several times to get their vehicles back online again.
My Tahoe is extremely comfortable on long trips IMHO. It is the first vehicle I have owned that my back actually feels good after a 24-33 hour run [depending on nasty gridlock on I-95 which happens more often then not lately] from Miami-NYC.
My LT has the Luxury Package so I have everything I want in it.
My Tahoe handles great in the worst kind of weather and rides nice and smooth. Interior is nice and quiet.
I use zero oil between 4-5K miles oil changes. I still get around 24-25 MPG if it is all highway and traffic keeps moving. All that on plain old 87 octane Mobil.
For those reasons I have zero plans on selling my 2016 Tahoe LT.

You must enjoy coming through Fredericksburg and Northern Virginia on your treks between FL and N.Y. it either real fast or real slow. And if HOT lanes are available, real expensive!!
