2005 Tahoe, I'm going to turn 350k in less than a week. Need to change my instrument panel sooner than later.. Water pump was replaced at 240k. My 4x4 control module had to be changed at 200K.. other than that, no real complaints and happy as a pig in "s"

Pushing 220k on my 02 and only a water pump, an AC blend door actuator, and starter to speak of. Otherwise, vehicle is "Tip Top"

Wow, this is good to hear. Just bought my 04 Z71 Tahoe with 150k. Hopefully I can get another 100k out of her.

I have 182,500 on my 01 hoe. I have did the usual like breaks, and tune ups. Original transmission and honestly it still runs like a champ, most of the time...

*Update*
I have rolled over 11k in eight months. I'm sure to go over 200k this year. But due to sequestration, I'll have her a few more years.

2002 Tahoe has 115000 so its just a baby. My 2000 Silverado is waiting for a trans at 190000 but I do things with that truck that make the duramax crew cringe. I pulled a front discharge concrete truck out of the mud, in 4low the truck was hopping off the ground. Also I pretty regularly pulled an 8000 lb trailer and skid steer combo. That truck had a hard life and it will rest for now, I start her once every 2 weeks to keep things good and my buddy is going to buy it next month.
