Umm......drive it til it quits. Then motor shop. Or just drive one of the others you have. I have about 230000 on am 04 and it’s a champ
Don't blame me for your bad decision-

I'm real truck poor (too many) but I recently bought a 2001 Chevy Z71 4x4 fishing truck. It's a high-mileage truck with 240k, but it sure runs and drives good.
I had about everything checked out and the mechanic couldn't find anything it needed, except brake pads which I will do myself.
My question is how reliable are the 5.3 motors in a 2001? Looks like I lucked out and got one before the 4-cyl shutoff (AFM) deal began in 2003.
At 240k should I begin motor shopping? What's the average cost?
Thanks
I don’t know where you got your info but the AFM didn’t start until the new body style 2007 trucks. Those 5.3s are very reliable. I would be more concerned about the transmission than the motor at 240k if it’s in as good a condition as you say.

I sold my 01 Z71 in 2014 with 212,000 miles on it. Wish I’d had kept it.

My 01 Z71 has 160k, zero problems other than routine maintenance. I have the 5.3 and it easily pulls The Tugboat to the lake and back. I need to find someone who can replace the window lowering/raising motor thingy in my passenger side door. Are you 100% sure it is the motor? .....and not the switch?

I had the driver side replaced before I moved here. My next door neighbor was a GM certified mechanic. Times like this, I miss my old hood.
