I bought an 06 2500 6.0l gas with 140,000 and a $4,000 plow setup for $12,000 here 2 years ago. The " bulletproof" LS motor failed around 180,000. I have a new motor in it now (Cost me $3200) and several electrical issues with it. I like the power and towing, but it's just not something I would buy again. The gas mileage is horrible, but it pulls anything I have ever hooked it up to. If you aren't going to be working the truck I would get a 1500, way better mileage out of the 5.3 and it will pull a camper pretty easily unless you have some 40ft+ job.
I mean just because you got one that didn't make it to 300k doesn't mean it's not a good motor. I love shit talking LS motors but credit where credit is due. They're cheap to mod and last forever.
The only LSs I've heard about failing that wasn't the owner's fault for lack of maintenance, were within 2 months of coming from the factory.
