We have a 1995 Suburban K1500 with 208,000 miles. Looks like hell, but runs like a champ!

My 96 Blazer has almost 200,000 miles on it. This one runs great but is developing an appetite for anti-freeze. Gonna be a summer project when it warms up.

My 89 Blazer I sold a few years ago had almost 280,000 miles on it. The trans was on its last legs when I got it but I babied it and had no problems with it. The folks I sold it to managed to run it out of fluid and toasted the trans.
