How many miles do you have on your Av?

2007 with 63,652 miles. Owned since 2/09. Only problems during that time have been, sensor on top of fuel pump and oil pan gasket.
 
I have a 02 2500 with 105,000 miles, only problem Ive had is the crank sensor went out.  love this truck, even built my own gooseneck hitch in it.

Got pics of that gooseneck hitch?
My Av is a '02 2500 as well. It has over 174K miles on it now.
Don't know if my crank sensor has ever been changed, as I am not the original owner.
I worry about that sometimes. Lol!

As of yesterday 142,523, I will be beside my self if so jack A$$ hits me, yesterday that just about happened by some sucka that merged on the freeway under heavy and past the on ramp decide that he was not going behind me, so he got my Hi beams for 3.2 miles till he exited,  :beating: 
 
I think you need some LEDs they will get the message much faster LOL
 
Just hit 56K after putting aprox 20k miles over the past few months. No issues :giggle:
 
07 Avy is about to hit 230K. 3rd owner for the past 6 months/6k miles, 2nd trans 30k ago, no mods to the engine, and runs strong... Before that it was a 04 Tahoe with 338k, 2nd owner 5 years/75k with the original 4.8l. I replaced the original trans at 273k before moving to the Avalanche...

Overall both have been very reliable. Amazing this thread started back in 05 with the GMT800. A little regular GM maintenance and living outside of the rust belt, these trucks/suv's can handle the mileage.

We've had our 07 since new. It has had an interesting life too. Last year (at 278,000 km/172,741 miles) we completely rebuild her, with some testosterone induced (middle age crisis) elements. Had all the rust spots (live in Alberta) removed and repainted. We pulled the 5.3L and replaced it with a Chevy Performance 6.2L LS3 (with hot cam), long tube headers, K&N intake, and rebuilt the tranny to level 2 to handle the 500HP. We left the exhaust stock (but pulled the cats ssshhhh) and it sounds quietly angry. The stock air system was failing, so went with a BEL suspension kit which brought it down 2/3". To finish it of we put on 24" chrome 5 spokes (can't get into black sport wheels just yet). Still working out a couple of bugs (wheel rub) but it's a project I am really happy with. Its a looker that sound like it should be on the track! Now about those speeding tickets....
 
258,000 on this 2008 LTZ!! This is my 2nd Avalanche. First one was LT3 and I got 250,000 out of that one before I ignored the "low oil pressure" light/gauge as I had just replaced the sensor and the mechanic said to ignore it! This one just started having a PO307 (misfire in cylinder 7. Turns out it was a stuck lifter, most likely due to the dreaded AFM/DOD V4/V8 mode. Rather than invest quite a bit of $$ into an engine with 1/4 million miles on it, we put a rebuilt engine into that puppy and disabled the AFM via computer flash! Fingers crossed I get another couple 100K outta this beast! Plan on preparing it for it's 2nd life with a new aftermarket stereo head unit that's Apple Carplay/Bluetooth capable, fix the nagging Air Suspension and Parking Assist alerts and any other preventative maintenance issues that may come up ;-)Screenshot_2.jpg
 
150,500 on my 2003 that I’ve owned since new.
Had the 5.3 pulled at 150K and totally rebuilt and am expecting to put another 150K or so on it.
