[QUOTE="Little Joe, post: 1849084, member: 39122"] Good point, some of them do last a lot longer now days, especially the 90s models- early 2000s but now I feel a lot are going the other way. Not so much that they will be worn out but they have more issues than they should for the price and age. I'm a big fan of 1999-2006 GM trucks, tahoes and suburbans or yukons, they run forever and can be repaired fairly cheap and easy. My wife has a 2006 Tahoe that is about to hit 300k, it has several oil leaks so I'm about to put a new motor in it and the paint on the hood is ffaded bad so a paint job as well. A reman motor with 4 year warranty is $2800 and the labor to swap it and change a few other things is $1000. In 2020 we had given my son the Tahoe for his 18th birthday and we got his truck back and sold it. During that time I bought her a 2016 z71 LTZ crewcab, it had been wrecked in the front end so I repaired it myself. It only had 47k on it and we sold it at 67k when vehicle prices were so high and bought the tahoe back. That 2016 already had a torque converter shutter at times which is very common with those newer GM trucks and suvs. There is no reason for a truck that new to already have transmission problems but I hear it all the time on the newer models and not just GM.
