I’m also noticing more of these trucks in my area, and not a one with a for sale sign on them.If I throw a rock, it bounces off three of these trucks before it hits the ground.

Curious as to what LS issues were you having? My experience has been just the opposite. The 98 didn't even make it to 150k on the original engine then it got a brand new crate motor at 280k.The transmission and rear end were dead before 200k. Its at 300k now and i think the front diff is the only thing that hasn't had to be replaced, mechanically speaking anyway. The 06 is at the same milage with no engine work unless you count an alternator and the original transmission mission made it to 265k before needing a rebuild and thats with 35s on it for 10 years with 3.42 gears. Other than that just oil changes and keeping gas in it.But the newer Burb that was the original DD got parked from too many LS related issues....
The oil pressure is bad on startup, probably the screen on the sensor. The valve train is noisy all the time, even running 10w30 oil. And the temperature sensor in the trans went crazy; $12 part that costs big bucks to replace, since it's inside the transmission. And numerous issues with the fancy Denali bits, all the charging ports went out, and don't get me started on the TPMS and the plated aluminum wheels that looked great until the chrome started to flake off. This is an 06 Denali with the 6.0, aluminum heads/ iron block.Curious as to what LS issues were you having? My experience has been just the opposite.

We have an 08 Yukon XL with that mess in it, fouling the #1 plug because of the valve cover design or some oil diverter thing that they didn’t redesign until a few years later. Can’t say I’m that impressed, it’s always averaged 14-mpg but we have nearly 200k on it and it’s otherwise been stupidly reliable. Wife wants something smaller now that the kids are older, so I’m hoping to get another year out of it (I don’t do car notes).AFM is a big issue with the LS engines. AFM has killed may a LS engine. GM just got it rite with the GMT 400 line of trucks.
