How many miles do you have on your 6.0?

Curious how many miles you have on your 6.0 and what have you had to do to get it there?

I just bought mine with 140k. The owner has only done routine maintenance and recently installed a turbo.

147k on mine. All I've done was bluespring, mishimoto tstat, and new degas cap. Everything else is original. I'm the second owner it had 132k on it when I bought it almost 1 year ago.

101,300 on our '06, bought it with 4,700 on the odometer. Regular scheduled maintenance and used Mobil Delvac 1300 at 3-5K mile intervals (use 5K intervals now). Only issue was a leaky $4 o-ring gasket for the fuel pressure regulator at ~75k miles, took about ~5 min to change it. I have also used the Ford cetane booster/fuel lube religiously from day one, I buy it by the gallon from K-mans Parts. It runs like a champ and gets 21mpg on the highway at 60mph, this is why I have not and will never let Ford reflash the computer.

I made sure to buy either an '06 or '07 (the last two years they offered the 6.0) since those years had all of the fixes/updates made by Ford...I didn't even consider any of the earlier 6.0s.

270,000, 04 original owner. Mostly stock, replaced fuel pump, injectors, water pump, cam sensor, icp sensor. Of course had to rebuild the front end, and it needs to be rebuilt again. I'm getting a new truck sometime this year. What a new start.

I have 375,000 km on mine (230,000 miles) and just had to rebuild the engine because the cheap injectors I got burned the pistons out of it. I DID do the reflash, because I live in a harsh climate and I was told the inductive heating in the injectors stays on too long with the older flash and burns out ficm's. The latest flash also sweeps the turbo vanes when the truck is idling, and turns the wrench light on if the delta's get too far apart. And it DID lose power and mileage, but I will make that back with tunes that I'm ordering from Gearhead, when Matt finally gets back from Christmas holidays.
The whole ordeal of the engine rebuild and subsequent problems afterward almost had me wishing I'd done a Cummins conversion or just junked the truck, now that it's running great I'm glad I stuck with it. These things are just so much nicer running than the Cummins imho. And they sound wayyyy better.
