Engine Hours Discussion

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Thought there was a thread for this already, but couldn't find it. I know there was a bunch of discussion on engine hours vs. mileage, but can't find it.

Just wanted to report in that my 07 Silverado (GMT900) rolled 5000 hours at 188,862 miles. If my maths are correct, that's 37.77 miles per engine hour ( DEEZUZ is that correct?). Hoping to get 10,000 hours before the body completely rusts and rots away.

Pretty good.

Almost close to my GTP that had an average of 44 mph. Had like 220k but 4400 hours or something. That car was highway for sure.

 

[Kizzlebizz]

I never even thought about this, had to go check for myself. I was surprised with what I found. 10k more miles and 600 less hours on an 08.

If it doesn’t have double that I’m not even interested.

 

[smug]

My Tahoe has 165,000 miles and about 9000 hours. I’ll double check later

236k & 3360ish. No wonder this piles still in half decent shape ?

Holy crap. What did the previous owner do?

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Holy crap. What did the previous owner do?

Interstate gigolo?

 

[Mr_Roboto]

The Colorado is gonna have shit for hours/miles ratio. Every road around here seems to top out at about 35mph.

My Yukon had 239k and like 6200hrs. Wild.

 

[sktchy]

Holy crap. What did the previous owner do?

No clue but i bought it for half what theyre usually going for around here. Im assuming because the screen under the oil pressure sender was clogged and it needed an ac line ? loaded with every option except the 6.2 to boot

 

[Outlaw]

315,000 miles and 10,400 hours on my Yukon.

My record is 210,000 miles with 26,800 hours. Fatass foreman truck lol.

 

[sktchy]

Clapped out yukon life >

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

They just fucking go.

 

[DEEZUZ]

They just fucking go.

And I just don't get it

 

[boostedguy05]

Whats not to get?

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

And I just don't get it

It’s hilarious. Nearly 1/4 million miles on my old Yukon and only issue was once the cold hit the intake manifold gaskets would leak till warmed up. Changed those and worked fine. Fucker also got 20 mpg highway

 

[DEEZUZ]

I mean they all ate cam and lifters Right

 

[DEEZUZ]

Which is usually what goes on high idle engines

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

My caprice had dod shit replaced at some point before I got it. Also showed remnants of rocker arm failure. Found needle bearings in the pan and a side plate on the cross member. It has something like 10k idle hours and 110k miles on it. Hoping that’s enough for some gaped rings for boost.

I was correct. Ex police Tahoe so it basically never was turned off

Sounds like a good excuse to put a bumpy stick in it to me. I know I've seen quite a few that have gotten new engines over it though. Or they burn oil when the dod actuator thing starts to shit the bed.

I'm more worried bout boilin the brown fluid in the 60e pulling stuff all over hell but so far it keeps doin it

 

[Kizzlebizz]

I did a Texas speed cam when the dod lifter shit the bed. It's meh, truck was a slouch already, the cam just kinda helped it hang out to 6200.

I don't wanna jinx it, but I'm at 198k on the original 4l60e. I did however give it every chance to survive.

Having driven a truck with the tsp stage 2 in it I was pretty unimpressed. Didn't really feel much different than stock and to me wouldn't be worth the effort unless it was a had to kind of thing. I've kinda got my eye on the btr torque cam, truck Norris or just flat out go to a 6.2 if the day ever comes. Anyway I can try and gain a little bottom end and keep it reliable for what I use it for.

It was my first cam slam in a LS, and knowing what I know now I'd have gone bigger. It seriously only seems to help above 5k where the stock cam seems to stop wanting to rev. I also took 020 off the heads to help torque production along with going 112 lsa on the cam. Still a dog. I'd like to think the 6l80 trucks do better with the extra gears.

I have the btr stage 2 in the Yukon with a converter and more timing than our 08 and it does way better. Even a small converter helps these out a ton. As soon as the trans needs to come out I'm putting a converter in the 08.
