G80 blew in the first one. 2nd one self destructed (gears limited slip) and now the third one is a factory open rear end with 70K miles on it.

I have a customers truck we have worked on since new that has 687,800 and change. It is an oil field gauging truck we've replaced 3 transmissions countless fuel pumps and the posi trac fragged and destroyed the stock rear end. But the motor has never been into before and still runs like a top and does not use a drop of oil. It has had chevron delo 15w40 diesel oil in it since new.

I want to see the inside of that engine when it finally dies. Thats just insane. My 4.8 seems new with a measly 130xxx on it.

That's some serious mileage! And at 15mpg average and $2.50 gas, that's $115,000 spent filling it up.
