My 2000 Z71 had 126K on it and the G80 was perfect and my 05 Silvy has 20K on it and the G80 is fine.

depends on what type of power you have going to it. a relatively stock truck will be fine with the G80. also it depends on how you drive with it. if you constantly spin your tires and drive it hard, it can break or the clutches will wear out. i know a guy who just melted the clutches on it and his truck was more or less stock.
