Who is the high miles champ
77,*** here with some repairs, hoping it lasts to at least 150,000 because I still love the truck
-Intake Manifold gasket (antifreeze leak under the a/c compressor)
-Tranny solenoid (harsh shifts, found out it was just one of the four connectors on the ECU was loose. Reconnected it and never had a harsh shift since. Thanks for screwing us, GMC.)
-Shift fork in front diff (4x4 wasn't working and they found chunks of metal in there)
-both CV axles (boots split)
-Ball joints (one had to be replaced twice: STAY AWAY FROM DURALAST. The upper left one we had to replace only lasted 8,000-9,000 miles before there was alot of play and they were never neglected in any way when it came to grease)
-TCCM and 3 fuses
-Turn signal lever (If you complete a turn, and all of a sudden your turn signal clicks off, but the clicker keeps going: pull over, shut the ignition off and remove the turn signal fuse ASAP! Mine did that and it started smoking behind the wheel. If it would have heated up to a certain point, it would have set off the thermal auto-ignition on the airbag)
-Radiator and all hoses
-Idler arm

01 Blazer 104k had from new
New rad, ABS computer and fuel pump
00 Kia Sephia with 80k had it 3 weeks now
I use to own a 76 VW Golf with 625k on it, I got it in 87 with 200k on it. I was the 2nd owner of it and I knew the person who got it from new and the only things replaced on it was 4 new pistons, water pump, springs, CV joints and diff all done at about 300k. I gave it to a friend of mine and he took it to 1mil when it was totally stripped down and rebuilt with a new engine. As from last week it was still going. Back then the clock only went to 99,999 so we just made a note of when it clicked round to 00000
