160k here. I'm down about a qt in 12k miles which is about what I put on it in a year for my annual oil change.

Anyone else have a truck they can depend on through thick 'n thin?

Our Tahoe.

I have tried to replace this thing a dozen times. The wife won't part with it.

It has been through 2 fuel pumps, and one is likely my fault since i put a cheap Airtex in it the first time.

I seriously have to get her something new, because I jeep expecting this ol' girl to blow up any day. She just rolled 90K, but the idle hours on it from living in AK for so long have to be tremendous.

As long as it stays fairly reliable and you can count on it I say keep it. Big block burbs are rare and it'd be hard to find something to replace it with and they just don't build them like they used to.

Do you have a fever? You forgot to mention a 3/4 ton with big tires is nothing but a mall crawler!

I know how she feels,Grumpy's the same way with her Burb as well.
