My '66 F-100 pickup had 286,000 on it when i changed engines (never use slick 50....ever) Put another 10 years use on before selling it.

the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.

A few years back, I sold my 1997 Chevrolet Suburban that had 265K on the clock.
5.7L engine w/the original auto transmission and axles, not bad for pulling a BIG boat year after year and it still ran like new.
24HCF in its entirety, is solely responsible for why my children do not have college funds, my mortgage isn't paid-off and why I will never retire early enough to enjoy the remainder of my life.

My '00 F250 V10 has 150'sh. Not too much.
My last Subby went 260ish but I only put maybe 20k on it. Died in a crash.
My current one has less miles but has been a royal POS.

One of our parts couriers has a Toyota p/up, 4 cylinder 2WD automatic,not sure of the model year, with 740k miles on the original engine and transmission. Astounding, as It's mostly stop and go driving. The truck looks like crap, but still runs well for him.

I don't keep vehicles long enough to get over 150,000 miles. My neighbor does though. He has a Cummins Diesel with 365,000 miles on the original engine. Not a record but a lot of rough miles on that ranch truck.

We have 2003 F350 that only has about 120k on it but has been to hell and back.
It's literally wore out and doesn't go too far from home. Not worth much but it's a good backup feed pickup.
I drive a 2003 F350(140k miles/6.0) and the way I use it, it'll be good for at least another 140k miles.
Wife's '11 Explorer has 16-18k miles.

A few years ago I went to look at a Ford gas engined truck advertised in the local paper. The ad said 40,000 miles, never off the ranch. I should have known they were all hauling stuff, looking for stuff, going out in all weather. It was one of those trucks you see now and then going down the highway and the body is sort of cocked about six inches off to one side. This truck looked bad from a distance.

How do you drive 100,000 miles a year. You have to be on the road 24/7. I know a lady that bought a new 99 powerstroke. She had 800,000 on it last I heard. Said she changed the oil once a week. Drove from Phx to somewhere in the Midwest and back every week and pulled a trailer full of small pets! My F250 only have 260,000. Runs great but I want a new truck.

How do you drive 100,000 miles a year. You have to be on the road 24/7. 5 days a week for 50 weeks is 250 days. That's driving 400 miles per working day. It can be done.

I got a 98 S10 Blazer with 105,000 on it but it feels like 300,000. Just bought a 2000 last December. 108,000 at purchase....127,000 now. Dang...Still looks and runs like a new vehicle..... After I changed both front and rear brakes and rotors, both spring shackles, Air filter, plug wires, plugs....(They are neat, have to go through the wheelwell for a few of them), The MAF and MAP sensors, I think I'm good....for a little while at least.

plugs....(They are neat, have to go through the wheelwell for a few of them), A friend of mine had a late 90's Ford Aerostar. Not sure which engine. To change the rear plug, you had to literally pull the engine. He sold it with about 100k. The plug was still working ok and he wanted to be shed of it when it had to be changed..

297k on my '03 Cummins when I sold her. 68k now on my '14.
There are a couple of Cummins truck around with over 2 million miles, and more than a few with 1 million plus..... And that '03 Cummins turned 348k yesterday.

I really miss that truck. The new one doesn't have the balls that the '03 does, and uses more fuel in the city and while towing. I just hope it gives me the good service the the '03 did.
