Default How many miles does your truck have?

I was curious about how many miles everyone's got on their trucks and what kind of problems have they had under normal circumstances. I am wanting to get an idea of how long my drivetrain will last under normal conditions.

I'll start off with my '02. She has 115k miles currently and so far no problems. I replaced a rear seal on the tranny at 80k miles, rear brake pads at 105k miles, and that's it.

Also, How many have the "tapping lifter" issue? Will this harm the engine in the long run? It seems mine has gotten louder and more frequent lately. Is this a concern?

I'm almost at 42K, problems a plenty. My tranny is about to blow (literally), stupid 700R4's. Engine wise it's not to shabby, it prolly isn't helping that I'm running 24lbs of boost though

About 3500 miles. No real problems that are factory related. I did blow one 4l60e, but that was from the boost. After the shift kit/servo it is holding pretty well.

310 miles. Damn this extra weight. L33 is so smooth, no funky valve tapping sounds like the 04' made.


My 04' 18k on it and I ragged the hell out of it with no problems. Its just looking lonely at the dealership waiting for someone to buy it.

Gonna be hard pressed to find "normal circumstances" around here

About to run out my bumper to bumper, 35k here... wonder if I could have gotten a new trans had I blown it. Steering stem replaced, interior aspirator replaced, front rotors turned, under warranty.
