    I went from a 95 GMC 1/2 ton z71. It was a great truck really. I had 120,000 on it in 09 when I sold it. Never had anything major besides AC on last leg and brakes. It did use about a quart between oil changes though.

    I loved that thing, beat the crap out of it all through high school/college, but it came to the point of basically needing the engine,trans,transfercase replaced or getting a new vehicle.
