2000 Silverado 4wd 5.3 129k full bolts ons and driven fairly hard. Replaced all kinds of things ie fuel pressure regulator, upper and lower ball joints, tranny, fuel pump, window motors, shocks, tires, grille, plug wires, and everything else I've replaced for go fast parts

2003 z71 with 5.3. 158,000 pulling heavy loads all over the south east. Bone stock everything including plugs. Obviously I've replaced tires and brake pads, inner tie rod ends, but that's it. I know that I need to change the transmission fluid and filter (Haven't done it since the first recomended change when it was still covered under the dealership service plan) but I am planning on replacing with a 4l80/higher stall converter so me thinks I'll just let her ride.

245k+
Water pump, Idler pulley, Knock sensors and harness(intake gaskets while I was there), usual regular maintenance.
Trans is still on its first life but clunking and shuddering under light throttle load and sounds like every lifter is tapping on cold starts haha. Bout to put another trans in but researching 4l80 and 6l80 swaps, it uses a little oil and a smidge of coolant not so often. Just kind of planning right now for heads cam and trans for the future once the wife get something and I use it as a toy/dd.
Its stock.
