How many miles does your truck have?
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?

'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.

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.
