#1, if an engine has been rebuilt, nothing counts!
@Francisco Nieves The problem is you can make anything last forever if you keep rebuilding it. At some point the only thing original is the VIN tag.
I replaced literally everything at least twice but I have over a million miles on it! No. No you don't.
That’s just it though, some cars don’t have an ABUNDANCE of parts, especially like on Craigslist you could simply scroll down the feed and build an entire Silverado 1500 purely from buying 99-07 parts lmfao shits great!
Not the transmission though. That's fair
@@arturos.l.2248 agreed
3:10 is where he finally starts listing the trucks
Michael Fox not all hero’s wear capes. Thank you
Thank you sir!

Thanks for the 3minutes and 10 seconds u saved me. lol
Thank you
Good video. I bought a new Chevy Silverado in 2000. 4.8 v8. Still driving it. It's been a family truck and a work truck. 364k miles currently. Still has stock engine and transmission. The only thing I've had to repair is 1 water pump, 3 oil sending units, and 2 fuel pumps. I nearly totaled it in 2003 but it's still going strong.
There are two million mile tundras with original engines that had no engine work done, the transmissions lasted over 700,000 miles. One actually wasn't bad, it needed flushed. The other lost reverse at 760,000 miles and they just fixed the reverse instead of rebuilding the transmission and it still made it to over 1 million miles. And they regularly hauled and towed well over what they were rated at. The interiors held up very well, the seats weren't torn and didnt sag.
I'm not saying I don believe you, but can you source that claim?
@@robertspencer7695 it's all over TH-cam. FTL features them both. Also, automotive magazines have also featured it.
@@robertspencer7695 when I get time I'll put the links.
Both trucks had the 4.7 v8, both were bought at the same dealership in Louisiana, both trucks were driven by oilfield hotshot drivers.. the 1st one the dealership gave the owner a brand new truck
@@ab4drmuscl807 ive got a crew cab 5.7. I really dont need (or want) the 5.7 but I do understand why toyota limits the number of options... it keeps production much easier and cheaper... that 4.7 is a real nice motor and for someone like me who uses a pickup as a person and stuff mover not towing, it would be the best choice... next time around I wont need the full crew cab so i can drop to the 4.7 and double cab
My wife 2011 tundra has 493k still runs great bought new never rebuilt anything
this makes me happy. I recently bought an 07 Chevy 2500HD with the 6.6 duramax, 150k miles. EGR was already deleted and the truck is straight piped so it can breathe and not poison itself with it's own exhaust.
Good idea !
Awesome 😎
Dog never moved... juuuust staring at the fields with the occasional glance back.
cajun26bc its a background picture btw
He’s stuffed
The commentator is so full of shit, that there's more interest in the dog in the background.
Look at 7:35 mark. I had to check too because never seen a dog so still. Mine sure aren't., even when they sleep.
Got 330,000 on my 2001 5.3 she’s still running strong
My stepdad has 400,000 on his 4.8 those ls based engines are insane. It's making me think about going with a newer silverado
Agree on the Silverados. I recently gave away an '87 1500 long bed with 500K+ miles on it, original motor (5.7) and trans (the old massive industrial 4-speed with the non-synchro granny low gear, invincible transmission). I kept my '89 Suburban, tho, since it's practically new with "only" 235K miles. Great old trucks!
If the power train has been replaced that should not be allowed on the list.
Bob Coleman #g
a lot of these "high mileage" terms were loosely used. The 1 million miles tundra had it's transmission rebuilt 3 times engine overhaul twice, Toyota claimed it's original because it's still matching vin
3:13 - Toyota Tundra. 4:00 - Dodge Ram. 4:58 - GMC Sierra. 6:00 - Ford F150 & 250. 6:47 - Chevy Silverado
My '99 Ford F-150 has just under 250k miles. Both the engine and transmission are original, and haven't been rebuilt. Still never fails to start. I just got to get the tags updated.
2001 Chevy Suburban V8 6.0 2500 300,000 miles traded it in for new car. I had bought this SUV new. Still miss it. One of the best vehicle I ever owned.
Meanwhile one of my customers has an 07 Suburban 6.0 major repairs include: one engine, two transmissions, one transfer case, one rear end and a drive shaft. Worst ls vehicle luck I've ever heard of but she loves her truck.
Rarely will an overhead valve engine last that long due to cam chains coming loose and causing damage
Chris Atkinson could it be poor maintenance or abuse? Or just a lemon.
Manny Skouloudis still driving my 2003
MakeUFumble if it runs well. Keep it. Believe me. I really miss mine.
My 95 Chevy K2500 has 321,000 miles on it right now. On the original 454, 4l80, and rear end. Basically no rust, was a mountain truck it’s whole life. It’s my daily driver, I still use it to tow, haul, and take it offroad. It’s the best pickup I’ve ever owned. I highly recommend the 88-98 Chevy trucks.
I love my 1998 Chevrolet K3500!
Redneck Operations amen to that! I have a 95 K1500 350 tbi and it runs like a top, original engine and 4l60e with 230,000 miles. I want to buy a 454, 4l80 truck next!
98 k1500 5.7L 433,000 KM original motor and trans still my daily driver!
1998 1500 5.7 460LE, 513,000km, all original drive-train. These trucks will keep going and going as long as you change the fluids regularly from day 1. Three rads, one water pump, one alternator have been the only repairs since new besides regular maintenance brakes/tires/hoses.
I have a 99....454 it is a stud
Bought my Jetta last May, 11,000 miles and still holding up :) big fan love ur content. Keep on truckin
My 2002 Chevy Silverado has 439k miles stock motor and transmission! My papa bought in brand new with 14 miles on it
That's impressive buddy keep it going!!
What problems have you had
Pretty impressive dude !
Awesome! Keep it in the family
What motor the 5.3 ?
2000 5.3 Silverado w/228k and still running strong ,been one hell of a dependable truck.
I had a 99 silverado with a 5.3 and the original trans with 375k miles when i sold it
Wow, my tran lost reverse about 140k
And before it hits 250k miles will need a new tranny.
A friend of mine bragged about his Chevy too, called him a month later and told me he had to replacd the tranny.
I got a 02 1500 z71 pushing 280k still runs and shifts strung and as far as know motor and trans hasn't been rebuilt been a grate truck
That 4l06 or whatever the 5.3 4 speed auto is called has a bad rap for losing reverse but after it is rebuilt 👌
Excellent ! Ive got a 99 silverado 4x4 5.3 gas i bought used for 8500 a yr ago and it had only 73k original miles from an 88 yr old man that only used it to pull his boat. Its got 80k on it now and has undergone $4000 in upgrades and love that ive done to it. The 99's with 5.3 do have piston slap due to too short of skirts of pistons only when cold, BUT this is a super strong and torquey truck that has been very reliable. GM released a formal statement acknowledging the piston issue and claims will not prevent these trucks from achieving over 300k miles. Thank you for your channel. Im a fan! I can only wonder what this truck might achieve over time, but i plan to sell with in the next 20k miles and go newer tundra. Thanks again, keep up the good work. Also, from your other video i saw u had a red 5.0 mustang. I too was a big fan of this type of car. I had a 1990 black on black 5.0 GT that i loved loved loved! With upgrades also. Hey, great minds! Thanks again.
Hi Casket Black, thanks for the comments and kudos. Sounds like we think alike lol. Stay tuned, more to come.
My longest runner was a 72 Chev Caprice. It had well over 300,000 miles with no repairs except water pump, shocks, alternator, brakes and exhaust system. A 400ci V-8.
It was during the nationwide 50mph speed limit and miles were mostly highway trips. To what extent those conditions contributed to the trouble free miles I cannot say, but it is the most reliable vehicle I have owned.
I had that 72 Caprice..also had a 71 Nova..couldnt kill those engines. They dont make them like that any longer..
I had a '67 Caprice I bought my new after getting out of the army. It had a 327ci. I had lifter/rocker arm problems regularily. That was the nicest looking car I have owned, color Royal Plum 2dr hardtop, black vinyl top, purple interior, unfortunately the paint faded more quickly than it should have
I just hit 400,000 miles on my 2004 Toyota sequoia limited Gods good!
Awesome Video, I have a 2001 5.3 Chevy Vortech, with over 272.000 miles, Still going strong, Transmission was replaced once, over the years it has had the fuel pump replaced, very Common with theses trucks , Thanks again.
When I was young my dad sold his '89 F 150 straight 6 manual with a little over 300k miles.He only replaced the clutch once.
Those starting then up until 1996 were the best motors ever
Those things were bulletproof if the oil was changed regularly.
Best motor ford every built
My father fixed a dent on a 2009 silverado 2500 duramax with 719,000 miles on it once
Diesel, bruh.
Impressive!
My buddy's dads 06 chevy duramax with 1.3 million he delivered trailers all over the U.S and Canada
We have a 2004 Dodge 3500 5.9 24valve 6 speed manuel flatbed. It has a tuner, a dual disc clutch, after market turbo. It has 530,000 miles on the original engine and trans. It is still daily driven and pulls a 30,000 lbs trailer everyday.
You'd be f***** if it was an automatic
It's all luck of the draw and/or religious maint. I got a buddy who had to completely rebuild is 04 Cummins at just over 140k...
Daniel Salmon yep that’s why we bought that one because of the manual
gains3199 our is still daily driven 200 miles a day with a 30, 000 lbs trailer behind it
Hicks it got a built trans at 150, 000 miles
06 FORD F150 with 4.6 just broke 500,000 still strong and all original never rebuilt
My 2000 Chevy Suburban is currently at 408,000 miles on original engine and transmission. Friends Chevy Silverado just hit 500,000 original engine and transmission. Great vehicles.
My 97 Ford expedition 4.6 has 483,000 and counting. Original engine and transmission. Still running.
Cody Furr does your 4.6 tow well? Thinking of buying a used one to tow 5100# travel trailer.
1992 dodge 350 5.9 diesel farm truck. 1,300,000 miles never touched the engine but have put in three transmissions
So your transmissions only lasted an average 433,000 miles? ;-]
had to rebuild each 1 or 2 times before they give out but they last a good while
@@jeremywit9747 There is no such as 5.9 350. its 360
redneckf1504x4 its a 5.9 12 valve diesel and its a 1 ton so a 350 wasn't called 3500 at the time
i got the message already thanks

What do you think about ams oil or mobil 1?
A tie rod every 60k miles sound annoying 😂
Waterpumps go out every 75 k for me onba 5.3 Silverado Found out the gm original equipment last longest about 100k but the cost is higher.
@hankm16 that's the unfortunate fact of running bigger tires. They weigh a lot. Things break sooner.
Had to put my 90 year father in nursing home recently, but proud of him for taking good care of his 99 Suburban (4WD/5.7L). Has 506,000 miles on it. He always replaced any part that need replacing as soon it wore out.
Neighbor bought a 2001 silverado 5.3 I was with him when he got it has almost 600,000 miles stock motor
Ok
I bought used same truck great trucks
Got the same powertrain on my Yukon and man can those things last. Clocking in at almost 300k miles.
And I hate GM.
I have a 99 1500 with a 5.3 coming up on 250,000 and runs perfect all original never missed an oil change every 3k miles and regular maintenance

My brother has a Ford ranger that has 300k Miles and still running good
Pinpoint Lawn care I have a friend with one with 460k
My dad too
Pinpoint Lawn care I had one too, 96 ford ranger 3.0 v6 300,000+ miles until a tree fall on it 2yrs ago
Rangers are some of the best little trucks. I have a 97 4.0 V6. I live my truck. It has a manual and 4x4
Ian Heard mine was too 5speed & 4x4 only major things I’ve ever did over yrs was (owned it from 2000 till death in 2016) 2 clutch replacements , 1st one i did myself, 2 fuel pump replacements also did myself, & radiator replacement in 2014 , & some sensers here & there over the yrs, it only had 67,000 miles on it when I brought it & 300,000 + at time of death (tree fell on it from hurricane Matthew , still sealed factory engine , original water pump, & the automatic hubs wore out & replaced them with manual huds, the automatic replacement one were too expensive lol
2002 suburban 392000 miles so far put valve guild seals, oil ring on oil pump, Alt ,and water pump , And radiator. Still purring .bought it with 196000 on it .
theres two million mile tundras out there...
1st gen? damn my 2000 has 127K lol
People hate on Toyota’s. Only ones that do hate have never owned one lol
Second gen 2007s
@@dustinbrown7246 But they both had the 4.7.
The second gen offered the 4.7 for the first two years the first gen got the optional 5.7 in its final year
Awesome job thanks for the video. I really enjoyed it. I have a 05 Tahoe that's has 207k and still runs very strong. Thanks again
2006 chevy colorado 580,000 k. Untouched engine trans and diff.
Used for oilfield work, lots of off road, -40 winters. 3.5 liter inline 5cyl gasoline .
Still at work.
You forgot the ford ranger. I've seen a lot with 300 to 400miles my dad has a 98 mazda ranger with the 495,000 on it right now bought it brand new in 1998. I had a 2003 f150 with 400,000 till someone it me and had another one with 275k . I've been blessed with some good trucks
What engines in each truck ??
Just picked up a 2012 Silverado 5.3L Crew Cab one owner with 63,000 miles on it. Super clean, hoping to get a lot of miles out of it.
Lbz duramax 2500hd 300k waterpump tires breaks wheel bearings. That's it btw been on a 75hp tune since 60k
I got a 89 chevy 1500 350k miles still runs strong
I got a 89 GMC 4x4 with 290,000 MI and still going strong.! Ford's do not last that long a hundred thousand on a 1977 and it was shot. Never own another Ford I've been always a Chevy person my first car was a 69 Chevelle and that was going strong till I wrapped around a pole
Gas or diesel?
I have an 86 Silverado k10 with a 350. Its currently sitting at 586k miles
STOP lying
2007 GMC Sierra HD 2500 6.0 Gas

Max Salazar whats your mpg ?
I have a GMC Yukon with the 5.3. It has 260,000 miles on it, and runs great, and still looks good too.
341,000 on my 96 Chevy 1500 I bought brand new! Still looking good and get compliments on it frequently!
Reg Cab Short bed sportside!
My 2000 E-350 van has 593,500 miles all it has needed over that time is a alternator and two fuel pumps no engine rebuilds same engine since new and same transmission never changed the transmission fluid still shifts alright and gets down the road. Has the 5.4L V8 Triton before the three valve design.
I really dont think u can compare a diesel engine to a gasoline one either. A friend of mine has 1.7 million miles on his 89 ford diesel truck.
Are they freeway or local miles. You can drive a CAMPY truck on the freeway to 400000 but not local.
@@johnpaulino2670 Both but mostly freeway. A basic nsvastar engine. No turbo and manual trans.
That's a whole bunch of Miles for an idi!
@@chrisleggett685 Yes he drove it back and forth between Kentucky and Alabama. He says it's hard to start now because compression is low.
That’s impressive. Got his money’s worth.
My 2007 GMC Yukon Denali went to 300,000+ miles, I bought it brand new, never broke down.
Original engine, Original trans.
6.2 liter. I cried the day I traded it in for a new 17 Yukon Denali
U un dumb fucked up bro
2004 Chevy Suburban Z71 with 5.3L @ 330,000 to date. Bought it used in 2008 with 80k. Has some electrical quirks, but original engine and transmission. Also 2006 Mercury Milan V6 @ 192,188. Plus a 2010 Chevy Malibu 2.4L @ 193,042. All bought used and still running daily. Switched to full synthetic a few years ago. Thankful to be blessed with vehicles I can maintain with the help of TH-cam ;)
Total of 715k+ for household !
My dad bought his 95 silverado z71 with the 350 brand new. It has 460k miles on it and has never been rebuilt. Original engine and trans have never been opened up or repaired. Only small issue, starter, 4wd actuator, egr, water pump, and a set of wheel bearings, leaking oil cooler line and a torn CV boot. I honestly think that’s all the problems he has had with it in the last 23 years he has owned it. To add to that my last truck was a 2012 silverado 4x4 1500 and I used it to tow my trailer all over US. It lasted 200k on the original engine and trans but now I have gone to the dark side and bought a 2018 ram 3500 diesel because I didn’t like that the GM trucks def tank hung down so low. It’s going to the dealer later this week for its second check engine light on and it only got 7200 miles. Fingers crossed it’s not a lemon 🍋
Jimmy4x4 Socal a miracle- that trans in tricks down here for some reason can’t make it past 100K. We sell tons of them reman
cantbsdave yeah 460,000 on a trans is a impressive but my dad doesn’t tow. I beat the shit out of my trans and towed way over my ratings regularly, burn outs, off-roading, snow drifting you name it and it survived 200,000. My dad says drain and fill the trans every 15k seems to be the trick to make transmission last for ever
I havd a 2009 chevy 3500 hd duramax dully with 681k still runs like new
d j, yeah I have a 95 7.3 Powerstroke 366K miles and after all new sensors and a new starter it runs like new.
Damn dude thats alot of miles I thought my 2000 Silverado 1500 z71 had a lot of miles at 375000 miles. Its all original with one tranny rebuild I tow 8,500k trailer pretty often.
My 2011 Chevy 3500, 6.6, has over million miles. Speedometer stopped at 999,999 Using my trip meter for keeping track now. Truck runs great, still hauling trailers all over USA daily. Change my oil every 10,000-12,000 miles. Original engine and original transmission replaced at 840,000 miles. Last truck was a 2004 Ford F250 diesel 6.0, got 770,000 miles. Love my Chevy more. Next truck will be a Chevy.
I had a 1985 Dodge with a 318 engine with over a million miles before i retired it.
The first gen dodges ran ran forever standard Tranys were thebest, I know several between 650,000 and 800’000 that were traded off just because the guys driving them wanted new ones and they were all sorry they traded, because their old was better
Are you Al Bundy
Thanks for this. Currently shopping for a used crew cab with a max budget of $6500. There are HUNDREDS of 04-08 F150s out there, many with rebuilt or replaced engines. I’m afraid of the 5.4 Triton as a result of my research. I’m trying to convince my wife a Tacoma Crew Cab with 200k miles is a safer bet than anything else with 140-170k miles.
2nd_A _Dad Stay away from the 3 valve 4.6, 5.4, and 6.8 engines.
I personally drove an E350 7.3 ford diesel that lasted me 470, 000 miles without any major repairs.
I have 2008 Silverado with 108,000.. purchased new, just took it in to have all the fluids changed. It should last me over 400k . I will make sure I keep an eye on the burning oil issues.
If it's the 4.8 and not the 5.3 then it should last a long time. The 5.3 from 2007 and up are not reliable and burn oil. If you have the 5.3 with cylinder deactivation I would put a tuner on it and deactivate the cylinder activation on it.
The older trucks were the best. I just picked up a clean rust free 2004 Silverado 2500 crew cab 6.0 from out in California. Only has 141k miles on it. Still runs like new. I’ve seen a bunch of people that got 300k-500k out of the 6.0 so I’m hoping it lasts a long time.
My husband has 1995 f150 5.0 with 295,000 miles and still runs great and it's has the original motor and transmission.
I had a 1998 F150 5.0 dual tank V8 and at about 101,000 miles the transmission went out.
@@Lex10999 they didn't make the 5.0 in 98
@@billyray4716 they sure as hell didnt! Lol
and no dual tank i too......
You really have no idea what your talking about.
My 02 Silverado 1500 had just went over 300,000 this week. And I just bought a 12 Silverado 3500 had with 200,000 on it
My 2002 silverado ext. Cab Z71 5.3 has ORGINAL 158667 miles on it I drive it like a 51 year old grandpa make sure tranmission shifts out good when taking off slower I owned her for 17 yrs now
I have a 2003 Sierra I bought new, paid $15,600.00 for it. Currently has 187,000 miles. I do all the regular maintenance on it, drive it daily.
I have a 95 Dodge Dakota 318 4x4 with over 300k, never had any major issues and somehow it survived being abused on the farm, survived my highschool years of neutral drops, burn outs, racing, towing over 11k and getting it stuck in mud pits and it still goes today, everything works, 4x4, transmission and engine. Only problem ever from engine was a timing chain cover that had to be replaced.
Next I have a 96 Dodge Ram V10, 4x4, 5spd with over 500k, it spent the first half of its life towing horse trailers all over the country, then we bought it to tear up on the farm and it has been a beast. Gone over the scales at 32k, still runs great, I am driving it to a construction site today. It has only had the 5th gear nut come loose once and the vacuum line for 4x4 has had to be replaced several times because it gets caught on all kinds of stuff driving through pastures, terrible design.
Finally I have an 07 Dodge Ram 5.9, 4x4 with 380k, it doesn't count because the whole truck is after market and my daily driver. The whole engine was pulled and rebuilt and balanced, big turbo added, transmission is fully built, driveline, dual CP3 pumps, injectors, etc. It makes 800hp to the wheels and I have beaten the dodge Charger Hellcat with it. It doesn't count because it's all after market and it costs a lot of money to keep this thing running perfect when it's making 300% over stock and has all the bells and whistles to be making over 1300hp with just another turbo and larger injectors.
very good info, now I'm a new subscriber, keep up the good work.
People rebuild trucks because of the 80k price tag. Not really built better, just worth fixing because of the absurd cost of new.
its very expensive to fix junk
Dave so we go buy new junk....
Couldn't agree more. Any Diesel pre-1997 is Smog exempt in California and the price is skyrocketing in the used market. $25K for a used 4x4 Diesel! Of course, it would cost almost $100K for the same rig new! Bunch of crap. DEALERS Regularly Advertise $10K off MSRP! so you know the profit margin is huge. Greedy bastards.
When my 09 f150 craps out. I'll fix it. Works perfect but I'm already calling it my project truck.
I have a 2007 F-250 6.0 PowerStroke.. I bought it 4 yrs ago for $19 k .. I’m about to spend 19k,for lack of better terms, on a Bulletproof rebuild. I’ve been on the fence about spending that amount of money... But when I look at a 90k truck payment, the decision is made. Let me know what y’all would do.. Thanks
GA, I Live in Parkville md, and purchased a 2004 Chevy Silverado 1500 Z-71 in 2015! The vehicle had over 200,00 miles and now I’m at well over 400,000!
I have Chevy Silverado 2500 HD 2001 extended cab loan bad 4x4 it has 460,000 miles everything original is still runs and drives very good I'm happy to see that videos you have
I just bought a 2018 Silverado ltz it's a dream, it's very high tech. 1400 miles still going strong...
1,400 Miles??? Holy crap, it might just last forever!!
I have an 04’ GMC Yukon XL with 260,000 miles. Just watching the miles go up and see how long it lasts.
Anyone just needs to look on the streets of any town and do a mental survey of what they see to being the oldest and longest lasting trucks on the road.Chey

Been through lot's of cars and trucks in my life, swapped out after a couple of years until 2009 when I purchased a 2006 GMC Sierra 2500HD 4X4 duramax in SLT trim. I've had this truck for 12 year's now and never plan to get rid of it. It has the LBZ powerplant.
My 2004 Chevy Silverado 1500 LT 4x4 Z71 has 206000 miles and the only significant work I’ve done on it is replacing the alternator and fuel pump. It’s been a great truck!
Hey Bill I buy 1998 Chevrolet / GMC has almost 300,000 miles on it with a 305 and it still runs great I could take that anywhere with no problem
99 f150 5.4 200,00 miles runs like it's still brand new. Just general maintenance and I use Amsoil
We have a Silverado Z71 1995. It has 428,442 miles on original engine and transmission. Only the intake manifold gaskets were replaced. The frame has rusted to the breaking point, still runs but she is parked. We bought it new with 12 miles on it. It does not leak or burn oil or ATF.
My 2004 silverado 1500 has 320,000 miles now, transmission (planetary gears) went out at 300,000, fairly straight forward to fix . Other than that, no major issues, great truck!
My 2004 Ford F-250, v10, has over 522,000 miles, original engine and transmission
I’ve read that the engines with cylinder de-activation were prone to excess oil consumption and complete failure.I never liked the idea of banks of cylinders shutting down,no matter how seamless it might be.
Same. You can bypass it now thanks goodness lol
Should show Scotty Kilmer this video lol.
He wouldn't like it....lol but maybe he would agree that the "older" Chevys and Rams are ok but not the newer ones
Scotty:
1-5: Ford F series
cell pat....Yes, Scotty loves “lists.” Lol
@@wade0921 rams were never good how ever chevy was better than ford
Toyota would have to pay him. This is an honest list, Scott need not apply.
My 2003 ford f150xlt supercrew with 4.6 engine has 277,500 miles on it. All original too. So far it runs great and most everything works still.
Hahaha. . . Once i saw a 2003 Dodge Cummins in an auction that had 834,000 miles.
No it wasn’t, it was so beat up though, it was like a farm truck. The read end was like hit by a tractor and the axle was sideways with the bed all crunched up on the drivers side. But the engine still ran.
I have a 2005 Chevy 1500 HD with a 6.0 in it that has four hundred twenty five thousand miles and still going strong
Rock on buddy! I just found a rust free 02' 1500 HD. Only has 130k. Only problem is she shifts hard after being on highway. All searches show torque converter needs replaced. I have done all scheduled maintenance on it since I've had it for 3 months. Any issues with yours or ideas? Thanks alot
You need to factor in the number of vehicles produced, with the number that reached 400k plus miles. This will give you the odds of a particular vehicle lasting that long.
Looking for a new truck, and I really like your channel.
It also depends on where the vehicle is, how it’s used, how it’s maintained and who is the driver. Many factors involved.
Most vehicles can get over 300,000 miles if people would just take care of them
I hope so buddy my 2002 silverado ext. Cab z71 I owned so far has 158668 miles own her 17 yrs so far I'm 51 now and drive like a grandpa.
I have a 2003 Silverado with a 4.8 V8 engine. I bought it from the dealership brand new, now 18 years later I have 210,000 miles on it and it still runs like a clock! Maintenance will determine the life of your truck. I change the oil before the oil life meter is at 20%. They really are damn good trucks. My wife bugs me about getting a new car but I just say nope! Mine runs fine.
Go info I currently have a 1997 Ford F-150 standard cab with a 8 foot bed. The odometer quit 4 years ago with 321,000 mile on it. The truck doesn’t burn any oil, the 4.7 engine has never been rebuilt and still runs very strong. I purchased this truck new and the only thing I had to replace was the alternator last year. It is a daily driver and I expect it now has well over 400,000 miles by now. Keep up the good work.
I am 13 years old and my dad has a GMC sierra and it has 165,000 miles on it and I am getting it in 3 years. I definitely think it will work for that long!
Same I’m 13 and my grandpa has an 09 Silverado with 320,000 km on it and I’m getting it when I’m old enough to drive. It has like 0 rust and still runs amazing.
@@fyretnt update lol. I’m 15 now. The truck now had 220k miles on it and I prolly am just gonna buy a newer truck.
@@iaincain4356 lol yeah I figured cause the comment was 2 years old I just have the same story
Our shop truck is a 1996 Tacoma with the 2.4L...its currently@430k. It gets it's oil changed whenever I remember and always whatever oil is cheapest. It often sees 10k between oil changes.Usually pep boys proline oil or napa oil. It's original clutch lasted 369k. Engine,trans,rear end have never been opened up. It recently passed the California enhanced emissions test with flying colors!
Toyota is the best, period
Chris Leggett Toyota all day long...
I AGREE ON CHEAP OIL AND CHANGE IT OFTEN...9000 or 10,000 miles/.I mean it.I have an OCD bud that ran past his 3000 miles on an oil change,pulled off the road and had it towed!
@@leewatkins1610 ya that may be excessive! I have customers with hot rods. Mostly Chevy engines. They hit 190degrees in a parade and shut them off and push them off to the side to cool.
My Toyota pickup, yes, before the Tacoma and Tundra, has over 400k and still running strong. Also, as you said, my last emissions test, it didn’t just pass, it passed with numbers way under the limits.
Have a 05 F150 4.6, 565k on it rn. It was used for towing/hauling its whole life, so it has gone through 2 transmissions, but all things considered still going good.
2000 f150 5.4 with 265000. 2017 Chevy hd2500 6.2 with 57000. I feel great having two in tha top five n one paid for n the other jus few years away. Great vid n subbed.
just remember, a rebuilt transmission is common on older high milage vehicles, in manual transmision you are replacing the clutch, and to fix those they need to be torn down, inspected, the slip clutches replaced, the gears replaced, housing cleaned, electronics inspected and replaced, basically it's going to take a lot of time and effort.
Manual transmissions may not seem like the best option hearing about "you need to replace the clutch" but their rebuild is simpler and can be done within 12 hours from someone that knows and breathes those transmissions, basically the same type of person that has a passion for it, they will be honest, they will be fast, they will tell you if it can be fixed or if it's best to find a different transmission to rebuild in it's place.
Engines are the same, you would think that engine oil would eliminate rubbing, but it just reduces the wear and tear to marginal points... your car is like your body it i designed to fail from the start and if you take time and care your body like your car will last many years and many marathons... engines do need to be rebuilt eventually.
I'm not saying that all cars are good... there are some really shit ones rolling off the assembly line, ones that stretch the timing chain, cease up and snap the timing belt, parts that wre once designed to outlive the engine such ass oil pumps and water pumps are failing now and they are sticking wires in places that have no right being there in the first place, and that's just the engine, the transmissions are now even more of a slip saying "the car learns from you.... as if I would have a baby learn from example while I'm riding the baby at 80mph, sometimes it's better to say to people "pay $20 more per year at the pump rather than $2,500 every 3 years with this transmission"
The less moving parts, the less slip, the less electronics the better...
P.S. get an alarm and immobiliser for any vehicle, dumping $250 into a vehicle to secure it i far better than asking "dude where's my car?" and to repair the immobiliser it's cheaper than buying a replacement.... and your insurance rates will go down
Happy new Fox
First truck 1989 GMC 4x4 350 5 speed manual work truck sold it with 210k still running. Second truck, 1998 Dodge Ram 5.2 Magnum 2wd auto with 258k, just sold it the other day.
I completely agree with you about the rust on the older dodges. But I have a 2003 ram 2500 and it has zero rust. I think as long as you wash it regularly, and keep it in good weather conditions it shouldn't rust.
I have a 1998 dodge ram 2500 12V Cummins with about 285k miles. It’s had a lot of work done to it turning into a beast. Injectors, beefed up turbo, tranny, etc.
I had a 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500 LTZ, but back in August of 2023, while parked, it caught fire burning down a house, a Tesla and travel trailer. There is nothing left of the truck. We believe from forensics that there was an electrical issue around the fuse box / electrical area, left side, drivers side, under the hood, that caused the truck to catch fire and almost burn down the neighborhood. Again, while the truck was off and parked. GM/Chevy has had issues with their vehicles arching at the fuse box. It’s a bummer cause I liked that truck, but can’t see myself getting back into one after this situation.
Chevy's burning oil is caused by the variable engine timing. Reset the engine computer or buy the plug in economy bypass to stay v8 all the time. The oil consumption problems will go away.
K Wilson wish I'd known this few years ago. Sold pickup I really liked because of this issue. Person I sold it to trashed it.
K Wilson yh
Mostly leaking valve covers.
Friend had his programmed to have that taken care of cost him like $100 i think.
Yes, I know. More stupid b.s. put on the trucks to try and meet the 2025 CAFE standards. You can thank Obama for that one too.
Like your video. I currently own a 1990 Nissan D21 pickup, I had a head gasket job done at 310,00 some years ago. I should be right at 500,000 but can't prove it with speedometer since I had to change it after the gasket job since everything stopped working. I replaced the cluster, but didn't keep track of mileage afterwards.
I bought a new 1995 Nissan 4x4, and a couple of years later the speedo kept going crazy. I too, had to have the Speedo replaced under warranty.
Thanks 7thSon. There are a number of comments about those old Nissan's lasting a long time. Keep on driving.
I'll drive it until it will no longer drive, then I might just rebuild the engine and drive it some more!
I drive a 06 Chevy Suburban 5.3L Very good SUV had mine for 4 years thing is a beast. It's never let me down💪
I had a friend with a 2003 or so Chevy 2500 Duramax and the engine blew at 185,000 miles. I have a friend with a 2011 F150 with 550,000, and my Dads GMC Yukon XL Denali has 414,000 miles and he just drove it from Savannah, GA to Baltimore, MD and back.
I’ve got a 2005 Ford F-150 lariat 5.4L 3v v8 with 417,000 miles on it. No issues besides regular maintenance.
thats supposed to be one of the worst ford v8 engines, especially if poorly maintained. My dad has a 2006 with the 5.4 and the only problems with it was a sticky thermostat and a loose ignition coil terminal both at 150k
This is awesome hope to see mine and interview with you I got a 2012 Chevy z71 with 346988 still running strong
I have a 2006 chevy Silverado 1500 crewcab push button 4x4 with the 5.3L and it has 384k and im still driveing it all everything works and nothing been replaced. Only general maintenance
I have GMC SIERRA 2000 314393 just put a 2004 Chevrolet Avalanche 5.3 L Motor with 162000 miles on it. Brought this truck 5yrs ago with 301000. Don't drive it a lot, but I love it!!!
