This could be a good or bad thing but I was curious how many of us have 100,000 miles on our C5s.
My beloved '98 White Fang has just under 105,000.
How many miles can a LS1 handle. It still runs like stink although oil use is up to 1qrt/1,500.
Be good to also know what parts we need to watch out for in high milage C5's.
Wheel Bearing in the Midyears good bad about 85,000.
I heard there was a bearing in the torque tube that can wear out.
ABS, all the sensors and grounds do they need checking and cleaning etc?
Hoping to prevent a side of the road dead in the water moment with some sensible PM.
On person reccomended updating the Starter and Alternator then keeping a spare in the garage?
What about the water pumps and oil Pump should they be updated at 100,000 or 150,000 or what?
Maybe GM has some papers on these concerns. :rolleyes:

only 15000 miles on my 2000 cqn't help you

I know of someone, but not directly, that put 200,000 on his C5! Still drives it because he knows it isn't worth anything on a trade. He is buy a C6 however...he'll prolly put that one in the garage and drive the C5 until is dies...we know it won't rust!!! <vbg>

July 4th 2008
135,000 Miles has several months down time but still pulling strong. Replaced the rear gear oil and it was gummy.
Side of the road issues:
1 Fuel Pump wiring broke after three fuel level sender repairs
2 Died in route due to wiring harness fried on the headers after new Engine install
3 Dead battery when rain shorted the relay for the Oil Cooler fan and it was on all day while in a parking lot.

Note none of the failures were car alone induced, always a previous repair or human involvemen or poor workmanship (Mine).

The damn C5 is a bargan to buy, hot rod and drive, mine still gets 28 MPH in 6th gear, 1,500 RPM at 70MPH!!!

Just passed 200K

Teammate Bob B has hit 247,000 miles and counting on his 2001 Z06 !
