Yeah, I heard about this guy on the radio yesterday. If he is legit I think he deserves a new truck.

Chevy will buy the truck so they can figure out what not to do. They dont make money if no one is buying.

I wonder how many components in the driveline have been replaced and, are not really original. That goes the same for the engine, maybe it has been rebuilt once or twice, maybe they are not the same pistons? I guarantee the intake has been resealed more than once with that mileage. I am not badmouthing the truck, because I prefer GM's over Ford and Dodge, but I am sure GM wants to buy it to see what components have actually withstood that time and mileage. You have to admit that it is pretty cool, because I am usually suprised to see 200,000 or more miles on the vehicles I see at the Dealership.

200k is no feat as long as you do normal maintenance
