Who has the highest miles thread.

[PB1]

I have 185k on my 2000 Yukon SLT 5.3. Got it from a buy here pay here so I didn't really know what to expect.

Thousands of miles later I trust it to take me anywhere. Everything works beautifully on the truck (minus the fuel gauge) and it's still in phenomenal shape exterior/interior wise. Burns about a half quart of oil every 3k miles which is great.

I'm wondering what can I do to prevent mines from burning oil fast. Lately I find myself adding a couple quarts before every oil change? I'm sitting at 203k

I've always been told that if people could accept burning a quart of oil every 1000 miles the engines would last much longer. I know the Northstar motor is actually designed to burn a quart every 1k miles.

99 Yukon with 150,*** miles. Was grandparents vehicle than sat for a few years. Just rebuilt transfer case and full tuneup (plugs,wires,cap n rotor,new fluid in axles,tranny flush) oil/filter changes every 3,000, new rear shocks, brake maintenance, and new water pump. Just installed longtubes, HD2, and BB tune. Feels like a brand new machine!

I have a 2003 Yukon SLT 4x4 with 195,000.
Borrowed a 2004 Yukon XL Denali with 215,000 for the weekend.
The guy has been trying to sell it for a few months and he offered to trade even up. Mine has new tires the denali needs tires. The extra space would be nice but I'm not sure.
