Just sold the 2001 Chevy to a friend. He asked if he could pretty-please buy my truck.
Over 260,000 miles. Outside of oil changes and spark plugs, the engine hasn't been touched.
At just under 250,000, realizing it still had the original starter and alternator, thought the brushes & bearings have got to be about gone. I removed both, had them rebuilt, and stuck them back in, just to make sure they wouldn't leave me stuck somewhere.
Been having fun with an older Chevy, with a 350. Thinking of tossing it out and sticking in one of the new Vortec engines. Guys who have done the swap all say way better performance, way better fuel efficiency.
