292,000 miles on my 5.3L 2007 Suburban LTZ. The engine runs great. Compression is great. I resolved the oil consumption issue so I don't have to add a quart every 1500 miles now.

Transmission was rebuilt at 202,000 miles. My wife broke the forward sprag in it. She has a really bad habit of putting it in drive while still rolling backwards then slamming on the gas. I kept telling her it was going to break the transmission but she didn't believe me. The 4l60e is is a bit slow fully engaging drive after shifting from reverse. I rebuilt it myself and the internals were in perfect condition. Everything was well within spec and I have no doubts it would have gone 500,000+ miles no problem. I could have replaced the sprag assembly and put it back together as is but I did a full rebuild with all new steels and clutch packs. Also did some other upgrades so it's a 4l60e/4l65e hybrid.

What did you do with the oil consumption... I am down 2 quarts every 3000 or so miles...

Recently crossed the 200,000 mile mark... It still runs great, everything works, Interior looks great, no visible wear on seats or steering wheel or even the radio or climate controls. Has a few dents, scratches and dings, but nothing critical, the only thing that bugs me is the rust... I hope to get to 300K before I sell it... Barring some moron running into me...
