Mine is an 89 Silverado. 5.0 liter & automatic. I used to put a lot of miles on it, but don't any more. About all I do anymore is putter from home to Menards, Lowes & Home Depot, to investment houses, to home.
judge by how many late model trucks I see on the road and our reviews I would say trucks are some of the longest lasting and most reliable vehicles on the road. If I were to upgrade from my 91 F250 I would look at a 92-97 F250-F350 with a 7.3 power storke tublo diesel I would love f350 for the solid front axel.
'98 Chevy K1500 Z71 with the Vortec 5.7L of course. Has 166,000 miles on her right now and still running like a beast. I've never had any major problems with her and no oil burning. I expect atleast another 100,000-150,000 before a rebuild maybe.
The best truck I ever had as far a cheap to run.good milage waqs a 89 chevy silverado with the throttle body 350. It got like high 19's to just over 20 with a tow package and was easy to fix and maintain. It did have poor qauilty GM starter and alternators tho which is normal. Other than that just normal maintainence and so easy to work on.I keep it for 130K miles then sold it to a freinds son who drove it for about five more years. He did say thsat he had the tranny replaced before selling but still ran good.I chnage the tranny filter and fluid very year and never has a problem. Ohte than that only the pint job was terrible.
