I worked at a Chevy dealership for nine years. I sold one to my best friend who now has 238000 miles on it with no problems what so ever. Change the oil regular and it'll be good. it'll tow a good size load and the gas mileage is good also. My friend averages 70 miles a day with mileage around 18 in general.

I worked in GM delaerships since 1995,the 4.8 came out in 99,I have never seen one that failed,or otherwise,seem to be good engines,in fact they make pretty good power for a small v/8,not a drag racer,but a good all around engine.

my dad has the same truck. only gmc. haha. same. but they are awesome inside dependability. they do have recalls on the rear lights to break and fall out, yes, I kno, I looked it up, and it happened to our truck. but motorwise they are awesome. had no problems with ours, bought it three years ago. if you do the maintenaince and everything, truck will run forever . trust me
