I"ve got to add my 2 cents, though I already have.

2006 3/4 ton Chevy van with just a 4.8 in it, ran it like it was a 1 ton. Always towing and hauling for 625,000 miles. Sold it on Craig"s a couple months back for $2500, all original drivetrain.

Lucas in the oil, conventional with 4-5,000 mile changes.

In the tranny, rear end, and fuel too. Never serviced the tranny. Over the mountains 40 or 50 times. Overheated 3 or 4 times. Boiled the oil out of it in winter with a hotplate I was using to heat the pan at night. Drove it for 2 days with nothing but sludge.

Gotta think the Lucas helped. That, and a fine American machine to start with. Those Chevy motors are bulletproof! 4.8, 5.3, 6.0, all same block I think.
