How many Trouble free miles out there?

Title is pretty much self explanatory.

How many trouble free miles have you logged on your 6.7 drive train?

We here all to often of the failures due to various issues IE: EGT Sensors...But I would like to know how many miles have been traveled problem free.

My 2013 only has 7,300 on it to date, but they are all problem free.

I got 56,000 miles. So far so good.

This March I will have had the truck for 2years.

Majority highway miles.

IMO most trucks with issues probably don't get used heavily (not making excuses). Quick short trips are tough on the emissions crap.

I have only shut my truck down in the middle of "cleaning exhaust filter" 2-3 times.

* I go out of the way to not use BIO-Diesel.. It has rarely been used

50,000 miles and my only real complaint is the wobbly front end. Solved easily by stabilizers but I mention it because I would not be happy with the OEM solution. Other than that, my truck works mostly as a grocery-getter and several times a year pulling a 19,000 lb trailer over rough and remote terrain. No failures, break-downs or warranty service since new in May 2010.

2011, new in May 2010. 44,000 miles. No problems other than factory TSB's. Probably 75% of mileage pulling travel trailer or boat. 8,000 to 12,000 lbs.

I'm at 60k miles and only had one major repair for a freak catastrophic electrical meltdown that fried everything (almost literally). No one knows why, but it was fixed and I have been loving every mile since. This was electrical and nothing to do with the power train. I think I deleted about 18k miles ago (or so). I tow the four wheelers around at least 20 weekends a year as well as several weekend pulling the fiver. I love my truck.

43k. I do have an airbag light that comes on intermittently, and I think its just a harness around the steering column that has become a little loose. I don't have a wiring diagram, so will try to work out which one it is, and put a bit of carbon grease on the connectors.

Apart from that, no problems.

70,000 miles currently, bought used with 36,900 miles and been DPF deleted since 47,000 miles. Truck had two sensors replaced by the original owner, one being a TSB, can't remember what the other one was. I replaced the powersteering hose and pump at a little under 60,000 miles. Pump was my fault because the dealership wanted $500 that I didn't have at the time to replace the hose, so I ran with a leaky hose for 2 month before it was replaced.

Getting ready to turn 70,000 miles and nothing but problems. In another 10,000 miles it's getting sold. I can't wait to get rid of it. I'll be going with either Dodge or Isuzu on my next truck.

22,120 miles...4000 of it towing the mobile family fun lodge. No major issues yet. Small issues include a stuck rear slider window, the 110v outlet won't retain a plug (just falls out), rear camera won't work on hot days, and the bad stock ranchos. Other than that its been great.
