The BudChev has low mileage, but my current dailer driver is my old '95 Bronco and its got 370,000km on it. Just about everything has been changed at some point, but not the motor.

My 92 Cavalier RS has 171,300 miles on it.
My 98 K1500 has 121,000 miles on it.
My 98 K3500 has 105,000 miles on it.
My 2004 MC has almost 99,000 miles on it.
My 1970 MC has around 165,000 miles on it but has had several engines and trannies in it. All of my other vehicles all have the original drivetrains in them. I had another 92 Cavalier that I bought off of a friend that had 225,000 miles on it but I only owned it for about six months and then sold it. I never liscensed it or drove it.

That would be my first car, an '82 Olds 98-

Car had about 140,000 miles on it when I got the Monte. It's hard to say though, since I had to replace the speedometer in it and it only had 5 digits on the odometer. I know it reset once and the speedo was replaced when the original hit (1)20,000 or so. One thing's for sure, it's not one of these-


1985 MB 300D- Capable of going anywhere from 500,000 to 1 million miles with basic maintenance and can run on biodiesel..

Thanks Member's for your posts & sharing your high mileage vehicles...It's great to see so many that are still on the road & running strong...

I've enjoyed reading everyone posts & enjoyed the ones that also included pictures & details...

I think Good Maintenance & Service is a big key factor on being able to get above 100K to over 500K + safe & happy miles...Thank You
