Got $11,300 4 door short bed auto. I was so happy because it sat in the driveway barely got used, when it did it was like steering a boat yet felt like a Red wagon down a gravel road. Didn’t have to shovel snow around it anymore. Was just a moment of happiness, with no regret.

I'm at 278,000 and climbing.

189,000 on an 01 F350. Bought it 4 or 5 years ago at 98,000. It’s been a great truck and plenty reliable, though I have spent quite a bit on it.

Sold a 94 IDI a couple years ago. That thing was a dog, but should have never sold it.

227k on our '97 f-350.

We had one '99 F-350 go just under 395,000. I thought it would be cool to hit 500k, but it needed some motor work that just wasn't worth doing and it was becoming pretty un-reliable. Replaced a few transmissions and other things on the truck, but not motor related.

So how many miles have you guy’s got out of original fuel injectors? I know they’re supposed to be 200k mile injectors and that’s proved absolutely true on a couple trucks but my 1997 has 260k on em no noticeable issues wondering if I should do injectors as PM because I take that truck for hunting trips

[Amos Keeto]

At present, 415k.
Still runs good.
'01 Cummins.
(5.9l?)

This was on our '99 F350 work truck. As I recall this was in 2019 and the injectors needed to be replaced and it was becoming an unreliable truck (and looked like crap).

 

[Birdman88]

2000 w 380 K. They don’t quit.

 

[OwenHa]

I have a 2002 with 270000 miles on it. I've had it for 9.5 years now and no major issues. I know the transmission is living on borrowed time at this point though.

Standard or automatic?

Standard or automatic?

It's an automatic unfortunately

Bummer dude!

There is a place in OKC, Blumenthal's.
They rebuild standard trans and Cummins diesels. They've rebuilt a 5 spd std for me.
Popped it back in and it shifted like it was new!

If my Cummins gives up the ghost, Blumenthal's can rebuild it, like new, for far less than a new truck.
