highest mileage ever?

6,273,534 miles on a '92 Chevy Kodiak. My Dad's work truck.
starting in 1992 to present day is 10 years,
3650 days that he had his truck
3650 days driving 24 hours a day = 87600 hours of driving
87600 hours of driving times 70 miles per hour = 6,132,000 miles

It would be really cool if this truck had this millage on it but come on.
Not trying to be difficult but I am bored at work and decided to figure it out.

Come on, not to be difficult but consider the following:
starting in 1992 to present day is 10 years,
3650 days that he had his truck
3650 days driving 24 hours a day = 87600 hours of driving
87600 hours of driving times 70 miles per hour = 6,132,000 miles

just bored at work and decided to figure it out.

My dad's 78' E-150 had just under 300,000 on it when the odometer broke about 10 years ago so it's gotta be toping half a mil. now. the only repairs ever done to it were a torque converter, carb and various electrical componants.

I know it ain't the highest but my wife's 83 Chevette had 280,000 miles on it when it was ran over by a dump truck. It would probably still be going otherwise. I am not a chevy owner as a rule but that car ran great.

Let me tell you what a good daily driver is for a vehicle. A 1982 Ford Fairmont, two-tone color, that car just kept on going, I must of had over 450,000 on an 200 inline 6 cylinder, and because of that reliability that engine provided me I wanted to put in another 200 inline 6 cylinder, but an idiot at the salvage yard gave me a 250 inline 6 cylinder cougar engine, I was ******. That car was a work horse!!!!

I know what you mean. My 79 Fairmount took a hell of a butt whoopin' before it died at 183000. It had the 200 / 6 also. Not a lot of power but it was faithful to the end.

highest mileage ever?

This is the miles on the trucks and cars I have. I have a 1991 f250 when I bought from the construction co. it had 513,000 miles on it their service records showed reg. service only. At 600,000 miles I made it a 4x4 with a 4 speed and a 460 the truck now has around 640,000 the 460 had over 200,000 when we put it in.
My 1986 f 250 4x4 6.9 had over 500,000 when I bought it from a ranch put a 7.3 in this eng. had 353,000 on it. put the 6.9 in a 88 f 250 and sold it to pay for the 7.3.
Wehave a 1986 buick park ave. with 183,000 miles on it.
We have a 1993 mazda 626 with 205,000 on it.
1964 IHC 241 in line six the man I bought it from said the milage meter broke after the 6th time around that was in the early 90s I drove the truck for abought 4 years and we now use it to pull the stuck truck out of the mud pit at our mud bog track.
1978 honda gold wing little over 150,000 when the speedo broke around 160,000 now.
It is commmon for a car or truck in the area I live to have over 2 or 300,000 thousand before a eng. change but we drive 50 miles one way every day to go to work some people here may drive over a 100 mile aday for work.
My youngest son works constuction has a 1986 f 250 460 eng. over 1.5 million miles but he is ready for his forth eng. and once a year we bring it in and tear it apart and replace any brg. tie rod ball joint that shows any type of wear.
Belive me I have owned all kinds of cars and trucks I have worked for ford Isuzu Yugo toyota and GM amd mitsubishi. Ford and IHC are the ones that has always give me the best service.
