How much money have you put into your GMT800?
I had a conversation with someone at a parts shop about how much I have spent on my 02 1500 and how much a new truck with payments would be.
I've had the truck since before 2019, and of all the parts replaced:
Headlight lenses: $85
Tires: $800
Fuel lines and filter: $200
Blower motor: $50
Sparks and wires: $120
Carrier bearing and U-joints: $250
Transmission rebuild: $1900
Miscellanious(bulbs, exhaust hangers, etc) $100
I didn't include oil changes/insurance. Would be the same with another vehicle.
In total, Less than 700 per year of owning it. Not a bad deal considering it still hauls and runs beautifully.
