My 94 Gmc Sierra has 221,000. My dad's had 300,000, he had a chevy van that went 450,000 when he traded it and never had the valve covers off, A friend of mine has a 02 Gmc 2500 and does all sorts of heavy hauling working in the concrete industry and has 236,000. GM will last forever if maintained correctly. Basic repairs such as waterpumps, fuel pumps, alternator, etc. I would expect to rebuild or replace a tranny at 150-200,000 though.
