Make sure you submit irrefutable proof with the application.

In other words, pictures or it didn't happen.

I've owned it since Sept. 2005. It had around 130,000 on it when I bought it, so my 70,000 in 6 years has kinda evened out the previous owners 130,000 in his 6 years owning it.
The HPOP change was because the back plug threads blew out after an o-ring change. I could have had the threads repaired , but after speaking with Joey @ terminator engineering, I decided on the t-500.
Don't get me wrong in the 6 years I've owned it, it has been anything but CHEAP getting it to this point, but I love my truck!
As far as pics as proof, I do have one on my cell, but I,m not sure I can get it transferred to my laptop. My wife has been after me to upgrade my "Fisher Price" my first phone (flip phone) , but I keep putting it off. I'll see what I can do. Other than the usual maintenance,oil changes,brakes & rotors, filters,etc. ..
I have done the following;(off the top of my head)
New front shocks --2 times
2 sets of tires
t-500 hpop
new water pump
new starter
2 sets of batteries
2 sets of ball joints
2 clutches (mechanical failures)
2 gpr's
1 blower motor
New shifter lever
new knuckle seals
2 slave cylinders
1clutch master cylinder

Haha! Awesome, man... that's just broke in. I've got 321K and it's still going strong. There's another FTE member on here (Chris I think?) who's got over 380K. My old boss had 380K on his and I saw a van that had over 700K on the odometer. Congrats on your miles!

thanks for the info, It gives everyone some idea of some of the things to watch out for.
I agree that I love my truck also. If I had retired a few years later I would have bought a 6.0..a scarey thought..I would rather be lucky than good anytime!!
