    I don't know if it was a good idea or a bad idea but I picked up a Georgia truck. 2011 SLE 6 seat leather, but not much more to it. 140,000 miles and very clean. No rust on the rockers or cab corners, only thing it needed was a battery and some cleaning. Headlights, and chrome cladding deletes are it's next repairs.

    Yes it is, I didn't need a 4wd. Good home Depot cruiser and camper puller. It is really just a back up vehicle for me. I drive less than 5,000 miles a year in a non company vehicle. Some things I can't use the company Tahoe for.

    I ask because the 6sp transmissions in those usually fail before that mileage.
    Some simple steps can help extend the life of those..... Regular fluid & filter changes/ HP Tune for the transmission/ On some models they have a thermal block to loop the transmission cooler lines that does not open till 190ish degrees...
    They sell some easy to install bypass kits that keeps the operating temps lower and extends life.

    It has an aftermarket trans cooler on it already. The back of the black and trans case is clean. I am guessing transmission was replaced recently because just like you said the transmission doesn't last that long usually. That's why the 140,000 intrigued me. Generally the lifter issues and trans issues have been dealt with by then. I will look into the hptuners, that will make me happier knowing the GM cal isn't controlling everything lol

    Converters are the real problem.
    A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don't have one, you'll probably never need one again.
