Congratulations!!! That is sensational... Mine just clicked to 276,000 miles or 445,000 kms... still going... transmission smooth as butter. Have had to replace lifters on Cylinder 4 and 6, oil pressure sensor just recently and a MAP sensor. That's it. The rest of the truck has so far been exceptional.
Thought had a scare last week. I was driving then the engine suddenly started jerking violently and lights and alarms everywhere. I pulled into a car repair place, in canada its called Canadian Tire... notorious for not having the best techs sadly... though not always... Anyway, it was snowing so badly, I could barely see (Northern Ontario can be incredible for sudden snow falls) and I was still about 20 kms from home... so I figured they could at least tell me if she would make it home. 2 hours later... estimate for $3000 in repairs... ignition coil, fuel sender module, new wires, new plugs new coils and i forgot what else! I was horrified... I thought, well this is it... but he assured me that it was still driveable and I could make it home and bring it back tomorrow. Well I took my truck back and she was shaking violently still, but the snow had stopped so I decided to pop the hood... well don't I look and see the PCV valve hose was just dangling there... it had slipped off... oh forgot to mention it was -24 Celcius by the way! So I slipped it back on and instantly the car was smooth and quiet like nothing happened... HAHAHA! Anyway, bought a new hose from a local Chevy dealer for $29... and slipped it on (the old one was loose from age anyway).
Just insane to believe that I could have gotten hosed on my poor baby for nothing, and they still would not have solved my problem. PS... they left their OBD scanner in my truck... drove back and gave it back to them and told them truck was running great again... he was so embarassed looking.
