Hey guys...

Looking to do some maintenaince on my Escalade and was wondering what the longevity on these motors is...specifically the water pump and timing chain. The engine has 96k on it and runs perfect but I plan on replacing some items before taking it to texas (suspension, driveline fluids, etc)...if I should replace anything else please let me know...

Thanks again..
 
Quite a few trucks have >200K on these LS based motors, I have a LM7 5.3 myself with zero motor related issues thus far.

the lq9 motors are great ...ive had 2..well 3 haha.. i blew one up last year in my silverado ss.. but that was bad gas and a blower..:punchball.. anyways i just sold my denali with a lq9 and it was over 100k i did have the water pump start to leak around the 100k mark but that was it
