1999 Silverado LT Z71 5.3 237k Miles Original owner, Wisconsin weather

Fuel press reg

ABS controller. At 100k, hit a pot hole while braking. ABS started cycling and wouldn't stop. Made a humming/buzzing sound. Pulled the fuse to get home. You can replace the controller without opening up the hyd lines.

Auto 4X4 dash control

Fuel gauge sender unit

Accel pedal sticks. Have to clean TB every 6 to 12 months.

Piston slap/lifter rattle at 100k was fixed by going to 10W40 dino oil year round. Yup, I know the manual says not to. You just have to let it warm up for a few minutes in the winter before you start driving. Also I have a heated garage, so that helps.

Parking brake backing plates rusted up at 160k. PITA to replace as you have to pull the axles.

Seat heater switches stick if they get dirt in them. Blow out with compressed air and spray in a little silicone to fix.

I'd like to get a new truck, but this one just keeps on running. Too many miles to get anything out of it, so I just keep driving it.... basically for free. Nothing wrong with that!
