^Since I aquired this truck at 61K from my father in law (it is still owned by him, it is my company truck, but drive it as my personal truck as well), the turbo failed at 92K, the head gaskets failed at 132K, radiator failed at 268K, and have only (2) of the original injectors left. As for the injectors, seemed like when we hit 200K, we were replacing a couple every 10K or so. Rear end diff was rebuilt at 180K, we replaced the rear axles seals at that time too. We completely rebuild the front end suspension every 100K. (we have an in house mechanic) I am on my third set of batteries.........what is original??: automatic tranny, alternator, water pump, front diff, transfer case is OE, I could go on, but figured most people wanted to know what parts that get changed more frequently.

Hey Troy, yes, we do still have the original oil cooler, EGR cooler and EGR valve!! I have been really impressed with this truck! I am scheduled to do about 400 miles tomorrow! BTW-we have to keep this truck another 3 years......I have been averaging 36-42K a year since the economic down turn, so I should have well over 400K before we get rid of "Big Red". Here's my photobucket link so you can see my car and truck/Excursion. : )

The '03 EGR coolers are far stronger. The EGR valve being original is surprising.
