now that is impressive! Says a lot for the brand and your attention to PM.
Had an 02 Yukon - got rid of it at 235k. after it lost 2 computer modules - not too expensive but considering that the engine, transmission, rear end had never been opened and I was on the original shocks, original starter and2nd set of brake pads, i figured it was time.
Isn't it amazing though - it wasn't too long ago that getting 100k was considered rare.

Yea as far as PM, i have been a helicopter mechanic for the past 7.5 years so i understand the importance. I bought this truck with 178K on it, did a full tune up / fluid change / plugs / breaks and rotors right when i bought it to set a base line. changed pads once since then. never been inside the engine just a routine timing belt once. no telling how old the battery is in it. I wish someone made a tire that lasted foever... ;D
