Who would have thought my new DD would have over 200,000 miles

Because of the COVID19 and how it has effected business ... the company sold my 2016 Colorado as I have not been traveling much as plants are closed to sales people ... plus our sales have tanked.

I started to look for a used trucks and I was hit with sticker shock. Since my wife needs a new van I did not want to spend a lot of money.

I found this 2004 Sierra with 208,000 miles for $6300 but... it was from SC which meant zero rust and little 4x4 use as the lettering on the 2 Hi and AWD buttons have zero wear.

I have put about $1500 in mechanical repairs and now it runs like a top. I am going to replace the valve cover next week as the original GM design contributed to oil consumption.

As said who would have guessed my new Daily Driver and work truck would have over 200,000 miles and be 16 years old.
If Chevy is built like a rock... then GMC is built like a boulder
