How many miles do you have on your truck?

2000silverado · 11-03-2004, 12:59 PM

Hey everyone, This is my unscientific poll to determine how many miles you've gotten out of your silverado/sierra ('96-'98)?? Specifically how many miles you put on it before you had to do any major rebuild/replacement of your 350 and/or transmission. Thanx for your miles!

they claim if you hit 200,000 miles you should get a re-build wether it's running fine or not due to wear in the cylinders.
i wouldn't worry about it the gm 350 is the cheepest engine to rebuild!!
we just did one with hyperputedic pistons for less than $500
granted a fdriend of mine owns a small machine shop and we do not get charged for labor!
