Dude... GM engineers say you're just breaking an LS-based motor in at 100K, and should see well over 250K before any major issues (if any). My motor proved that to not be 100% true, but that's their story & they're stickin' to it.

Now, I will say that all cylinders aside from the #7 that bit the dust were EXTREMELY clean as if the motor had never, EVER run before. The supporting components (rods, bolts, etc) may not last, but the block is great. I have witnesses that can attest to that.

apparently there was one on ebay a while ago with 63x,xxx. Might want to check on gmfullsize to be exact, but that's what the word is.

276k here and I thought I was doing something. Trans went out at 202k and fuel pump at 175k. Also the waterpump went out at 250k as did the alternator, but other than those pretty minor things the truck still runs like a champ. 541 is insane.
