Weird Question?????????

I have a Z71 truck that has 204k miles on it extremely well kept super clean always ran amsoil synthetic. Garage kept and really pampered...question is how much longer before I can expect to have to rebuild the motor?? Is 300k achievable? It runs great right now! I was just wondering what the outer limit life span is. Thanks Guys I appreciate the input!

Way to give it a whole 3 minutes there. I made it 270K in my 96 Z71 before I sold it and it ran fine. So I am guessing 300K if drove right and well maintained should be possible.

Guy out at Crandall said he has put 300k on 3 different GM trucks running amsoil and they ran great when he sold them, so I'd say it is

Just remember, to hit 300k you're going to need to do preventative maintenance. Things like, replacing the fuel pump and so on should be expected.
