the nice thing about a Silverado, you can get parts, any part. My mechanic told be to keep mine roadworthy as long as I can,  newer generations are not as reliable

Same situation with the wife’s 2007 Range Rover. Price of them has increased to eye-watering levels, but reliability has gone the other way!  It’s now got 165K miles up which is now about average for its age; it was way above average when we bought it!
Regards & ride safe,
Neil
