Yes it is a custom truck from 1993. Took two cut up bodys to make one. Each left door frame has a vin number. Thanks. By the way, I have not nearly enough miles @ only 183k. It aint even broke in. Im In the wrong forum to discuss this, its only a prestroker haha. Anyway, i hanent been here long but I sure like this forum...... and them duall stacks fordman. Well time to go to work.

 

Let me know if you decide to sell it.

got 212000 on my 95 and 125000 on my 97 no magor repairs

 

nope, he had 1,175000 it was on a 99 or 00 PSD, but he had I think 6 over 750,000, most maintenance he does is pull valve covers for GP's if it gets more in depth he replaces it.

 

All out highway miles are alot easier on the trucks than normal driving. Everytime I go down a dirt road I find some new rattle I have to track down .

That many miles is very impressive. I was talking to my local diesel tech and he was comparing the 3 powerstroke motors and if I remember he said.....
7.3 motors have a 500k mile service life
6.0 maybe 250k on average (he hates these motors, but they are making him rich)
6.4 well..... He suggested buying a gas motor or a cummins lol

 

yeah obviously the guy runs three shifts through the same trucks if I remember right they are stranded vehicle service trucks, probably never shut off, but still that is a long way to go.

 

Yep but starting an engine wears it out alot and like you said I bet they never turned them off.

 

275K miles and running great

 

foremanES i wish your diesel tech had not told the service life is 500k
it looks like i may need to get mine in the shop this year
97 f350 pulling 15k 485,786

 

306,000 on my 99. 1 tranny @ 202,000, 1 waterpump @287,000, 9 sets of tires, 3 sets of Bilsteins. Oil analysis

I hope to get as much as I did out of my 86 "6.9" when it was stolen with 450,00 on it.

Maintaince is the key.

 

WOW thats a couple miles

 

My '96 HAS 206,000 my '87 had either 250,000 350,000 or 450,000 when I sold it. both still running fine with some TLC

 

how much does it run you to get an oil analysis done? i want to get one done for my truck since it's sittin at 254000 miles.
