2008 GMC Envoy 5.3
Do you think my GMC Envoy will go to 300,000 miles. I currently have 186,000 on it right now. I change the oil myself and put full synthetic mobil 1 oil in it every three thousand miles. The displacement on demand has been deactivated and the lifters has already been replaced around 15,000 miles ago. I only take it past three thousand rpms like once a week or so and I drive in moderate to light city traffic.

Probably not, GM was entering bankruptcy at that time, and if you've never changed your transmission fluid before, it's too late to change it. I had My 1999 Ranger's transmission rebuilt 4 years ago, after I had bought it. The transmission made it 251k miles before the rebuild. I've gotten another 41k miles out of it since.
Don't worry it's been changed every 60,000 miles by the previous owner
That's good, my Ranger when I bought it was probably still on the original fluid. It was burned, but it still ran just fine.
Well, I wouldn't bet the house on it. But then again, unless you wreck it, it will go as long as you want to put money in it. The thing is that cars like that can give you one problem after another. I can't believe parts are very expensive, but if you have to keep taking it in to the shop, the labor costs (and lost time not having use of the car) will eventually drive you crazy. If you get a shop manual and do most of the work yourself, keeping it another 10 years or more might be feasible.
