One of GM’s best and most reliable designs in my opinion. I’ve put all 301k miles on my 01 K1500 and it’s still my daily driver. Very reliable truck - engine never apart (wish I could say that for the trans) and I’ll drive it til the wheels fall off, which hopefully isn’t any time soon. I did recently learn the hard way that the factory plastic heater core coupler fittings are a weak point on hi-miler GMT800s. Since I have more than one 2001, I bought a couple of the metal replacement fittings and a couple of cheap plastic disconnect tools and stashed em in the gloveboxes in case it ever happens again (further from home).
