my 1997 EB has 249,200 i have replaced the airbags with coils due to the fact that i had busted all but one of them. Trans was rebiult at 225,oo or so i have replaced the rearend gears twice and the front end once. All of the coil boasters at least once. But besides that it has been a great truck and i will have it forever.
