Turned 150k
My 99 just turned 150k, still running strong.
I was going to trade this year, but am still too attached.
I'm going to get the leather seats reworked (any ideas on an inexpensive way?) and drive it for another year or two.
Happy Driving.

I have added remote start, LDC displays and bluetooth handsfree and would be unhappy with anything less!

I've thought about a supercharger. How do you like yours? Noticable difference? Expensive? Mine's only a 4.6 and I've got over 210K.

I expected too much from - and paid too much for - other mods that should have gone into the blower in the first place.
Bought it used, about $2200 I believe. Less than half the price of a new Procharger.

Good advice. My next SUV will get a supercharger as soon as the warranty expires. 50k will take me about a year and a half. :-)
My real concern is do you get a lot more acceleration? I'm wondering because its such a heavy vehicle.

Acceleration is ridiculous. A 3-ton truck that runs mid-14s is pretty fast. Not unusual today, given all the high-performance SUVs on the market, but way faster than before.
Gears will also help with acceleration. I run 4.10s with street tires (285/60-18) and it's the second-best mod I did to my truck...right after the blower.
