    Had a 90s Suburban with almost 300k miles for a while as a hand-me-down from my parents, we owned it for about 10 years between us. The check engine light was always on, no matter what we did. Every sensor changed, code reset, everything we could think of. The truck ran like it was off the factory floor, no issues at all. Eventually the bulb burned out since it was always on.

    I recently talked to the guy I sold it to 10 years ago, he still drives it! He loved it when he first drove it and has put a lot of miles on it only needing usual maintenance like brakes and a fuel pump. That old 5.7L Vortec sure is bulletproof but I’m sure he’s not happy about it’s 42 gal gas tank right about now.
