Hey guys, jw if my truck is going to kill over soon. It's a 1997 7.3 powerstroke and it has 299,750 miles on it!! Original motor, trans....etc. We have only replaced the heater core on it. Is this uncommon? I guess I can't complain, but sure seems like lots of miles to me. Should I worry about putting an exhaust on it or chipping it because of high miles? What do you guys think? How many miles does your truck have?

 

I have about 100k on my 02 Tundra, If you got 300k on your powerstroke I wouldnt worry about putting an exhaust or chipping it , If you were going to break something I would think it would already have happened.

 

210,000 on mine.

But it's just a little gas underpowered 2.3 litre. All original parts except for alternator, clutch, tires, hoses and belts.

And a bunch of filters. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

My 88 F150 4X4 has about 106K

My 92 F350 4X4 has about 221K

You should get around 500K out of that 7.3

 

98 chevy , 150,000.....i m surprised it made it this far

 

99 toyota tacoma 3.4 liter....... 155,000 miles runs like new

 

1996 D3500 V10 425hp; 139k and still smoking all 4 rears.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

'69 Gruman Step Van on a 3/4 ton Chev chassis. Over a million documented miles as a service vehicle. Course it's had 6 engines, 3 trannies, several U-joints, brake drums, shoes, shocks, belts, hoses and the list goes on. Only thing on the chassis that has never been repaired or replaced is the rear end. Original just keeps soldiering on. Gruman is the only brand of van body we have had that will make it past around 500,000 miles.

10 MPG loaded or empty with everything from a 307 to a 400 engine. All small blocks.

 

My '96 Toyota T100 has 307,000 on it now. I haven't done anything major, tires, brakes, belts, starter...maybe a couple more small items, but notjing major. I still love it, and I want to get 500k on it!

 

01 Ram 2500 Cummins with 200k and still goin strong.

95 F-350 with 460 175k and still playing in the mud.

That Powerstroke should do 500k easily. I have 2 different buddies that have worked theirs like dogs around farm and hauling horse trailers and both are over 500k.
