My wife drives a 2005 Z71 suburban with 175k miles, and I drive an 02 silverado with 179k miles and just bought a 2001 Tahoe with 171k miles for $3900. My neighbors think I'm crazy for having 3 of the same thing, but they always start and run even if they are broken. In a pinch, I can take a part off another truck to keep the other running if need be. I love them. Used to have a 2000 silverado as well. The 05 is the newest vehicle I have ever owned.
Thats awesome to hear! I know in my small town, theres probably a dozen of these things driving around. They seem to just keep going with regular maintenance which is so easy to do
Have a 2006 Denali with 345k miles was a prior police vehicle. We have completely rebuilt with new stall, new cam, lifters, etc. The 6.0 absolutely will drive uphill on a 45 degree without skipping a beat. She is my daily for work new construction plumbing foreman. Loaded with tools and still room for hauling the guys to lunch
I own a 2001 yukon xl with the 8.1l. Its got around 210k miles now, and i love the thing. Its got its issues, but ill never get rid of it. But even at 210k, motor runs smooth as butter.
My ac works perfect! Mind you i take the belt off in the winter, when you use Defrost the AC comes on automatically to keep the air dryer. I penny pinch my fuel mileage lol
I’m not sure if it’s your rods maybe cams, but for me I have tick currently and it’s an exhaust leak where the small bolts are for the manifold,, basically they put small bolts there’s for whatever reason imma get a new manifold and I had a purge issue at one point as well and that’s about it, good car
You keep saying everything good on the truck, then list off another two dozen things that don't work. Buy that $5,000 one you were mentioning. "There is nothing wrong with this truck" 😮

Awesome to hear! These things are definitely beasts. I cant wait to rebuild and upgrade my 5.3.
Still daily driving my 2002 Chevrolet suburban with 205,000 miles best vehicle I’ve ever owned always been my dream vehicle since they were new
Thats awesome to hear! I definitely love mine. Always wanted a suburban, got the yukon xl and wont go back to a small suv again

Thats awesome! Id love to have an 8.1 but I commute way to far everyday for it to be cost effective lol. Ill still get my hands on one someday though
Also the a/c could be your actuators messing up or gone. They’re pretty cheap part, for the miles it’s pretty good

Mine is an internal kinda knock. Definitely piston slap. Doesnt happen all the time and quite faint. My manifolds dont seem to be leaking yet!
Is the 8.1 diesel?
Nope! Its the Vortec 8100
