2001 tahoe with 115k on it. I have done shocks, front pads, plugs, u-joints, fuel filter, regular oil changes, passenger side ball joint and tie rod, sway bar end links, replaced all fluids except tranny fluid with royal purple or amsoil. I probably didn't have to fix all of this stuff but I did it when I had the money and want my hoe to last.

I bought it in '06 with 80k on it. I think the truck was some kind of a dealer owned vehicle like a rental or something or executive person's car the carfax says something like that on it.

216,000 miles...my tahoe is a 2002... i bought it at 40k miles..looks great...runs great...the only thing i've had to do to it was replace the alternator, and i did that myself a few months ago in 2010...cost me $100...that was the only thing that has ever malfunctioned on the vehicle that caused me to break down....of course I've replaced brakes before and had tune ups and oil changes (general maintenance stuff)....if you don't drive like an idiot, these trucks will last a long long time.......i am curious though; what should i be expecting to replace next???? I've had a long run of good luck so far....whenever this truck completely dies from old age, i'll buy another one

Almost 105,000 (mostly highway) miles on my 2005 Tahoe. Bought in November 08 with 44,000 miles. Oil changes every 3k. Recently: Transmission flush (no problems) at 100k; radiator flush at 75k; brakes all the way around at 80k. Rear seal was leaking, had fixed with the brakes. Should be good for a while (knock, knock). Everything works except the drivers seat bottom cushion adjustment (motor).

I know this is kind of an old thread, but I just picked up my Hoe a few months ago and already have to brag about her. 327,000 and still running strong on the original 5.3. Tranny was replaced about 60k ago.
