My Ford has reached the 400K mark. Feels pretty neat I have 100K to go before a half million. 02 with a 7.3. Always been a work truck. Asphalt truck to 162K when I bought it. GC truck till 320K then back to an asphalt/concrete truck till now. Just little things. 1 radiator, alternator, glowplug module, fan clutch, orings on fuel bowl. Service bed at 256K. 3rd trans though. The guts on the 2nd one where still good but the planetary gears broke. Original paint cleans up pretty good and no tears in the driver seat.

Original Turbo??

Yes. Everything is original on the engine except the glow plugs, up-pipes, and starter. The PO changed the GPs for some reason. More than likely they were fine. Up-pipes were upgraded when the 2nd trans was installed. The starter was my fault. It was dirty and I cleaned it. I must have hosed all the crud into it and not working the next day. Even on the original water pump which is rare on a 7.3 with more than 100K miles.

Sold my 2000 4.7 4X4 tundra 4-5 years ago with 425,000 on the clock.

Just passed a year with my 6.7 Cummins. 42,500 miles right now. Hoping I get to 400k with no problems [emoji1303]

My 01 Dodge 3500 has 820xxx on it. 2nd trans at 500(6spd), 2nd rearend at 650, and a waterpump at 700xxx, Leaks oil like a stuck pig...dash is in 500 pieces, rattles horribly. Power puck and big exhaust. Bought it with 300xxx on it 5 years ago when my 7.3 burned #8, and was moving. Truck still hauls heavy goosenecks, and not afraid to drive it anywhere. Took it to Iowa last summer to pick up some cars. Picked up a Duramax cc drw to upgrade to, cheap with a hurt motor. Going to miss my Dodge, but it won't live forever.

Years ago a customer gave me his '89 Cadillac Eldorado with 627K miles on it...it needed a radiator (for the second time). Had some screwy anti-theft issue that would make it not crank at times unless you opened the drivers door, but didn't burn hardly any oil and ran great. I sold it to some lady for $500 who drove it for another 6 years before she wrecked it.

Miss mine. I sold my 2001 7.3 crewcab with 244K miles years ago to a friends son. Still running great. Wish I had of kept it.
Yep, sold mine a few months ago and wish I would have just kept it. I like driving the F150 more for work, but loved my 03 7.3.

Guess I have a lot of miles left on mine still. I have only 326K on my '01 7.3 Dually Crew Cab I purchased new. I replaced the Bruce Jenner @ 170K, and replaced Fuel Injector Wiring Harness, Stainless Steel Fuel Line. That's about it besides tires, brakes, and oil changes. Best vehicle I've ever owned!!!

Wow I need to start driving more. My '97 explorer only has 250000 on it. She has however been pretty trouble free with only minor maintenance issues.

We spread out miles out between vehicles, so none of mine are that high of mileage, but all of them are high!

My work DD is a 97 saturn, 222K miles right now. Still gets 40-42mpg and I havent changed the oil in almost 10 years.
1979 ramcharger with a 12v cummins swap, has 249K on the drivetrain
1998 12v cummins, 301K
My wifes 08 escalade has ~190K
My 04.5 cummins has ~180K.
1991 toyota truck (now a tube chassis crawler), odo stopped working at ~270Kish

All my 70's dodge trucks and my motorhome have less than 100K though!

the old 12 valves always sounded like a bucket of bolts rattleing around but ran forever..

16 ram 2500 Cclb getting ready to turn 200k miles
4 transmission solenoid every 50k miles
1 new transmission
1 new raidator
1 new egr cooler
1 new trans cooler
New rear main seal
2 complete brake replacements
1 ac compressor
5th set of tires
2 front wheel bearings
Currently needs rear brakes, new heater core, evaporative cooler, and not sure if its rear end, u joints, or carrier bearing ( vibration chatter in reverse and sometimes under hard accelerations )

Moral of the story maybe dodges aren’t so great, lol

95 F350 with 7.3, 330000ish miles. It's still my daily. Trans at 325000, turbo @315000. Lots of dirt road driving so front ends been rebuilt and Deaver springs all the way around with Bilsteins. I paid $5500 a bunch of years ago before prices went retarded. Pretty sure I got all my money back.
