That's snot funny at all.

 

While this may be an extreme case with out knowing many facts, it sure makes the point that getting rid of a truck with 100k mi is very likely a huge waste of financial resources.

 

With that many miles it would not have had much time to be in the shop with dropped valves or fuel pump failures

 

Very interesting. Since my truck is a Job 1 2011 and I am on the verge of 100,000 miles, I have contemplated a pre-emptive strike to replace the valves and glow plugs in hopes of insuring another 100-150k trouble free miles. This option is certainly cheaper than a long block replacement or a 2017 replacement!

 

Very interesting...

I wouldn't take it quite at face value without more details. How would the dealer know if the engine was replaced by someone else? Or tuned, deleted, and brought back to stock for the trade? Of course this dealer could have been doing his bi-weekly oil changes, but most trucks that get that many miles don't stay in one location.

Cool to see they can go that long though!

 

According to the dealer that posted it on Facebook, they performed all the service on the truck.

 

Would be great to see the complete service record to see if there were any tricks done to help achieve the mileage. I'd like to know so I can do them too.

I'm guessing one of the biggest "tricks" was keeping it running...no chance for cold starts. Plus this truck at only 5 years old had no time for age induced issues or road salt corrosion. You can get more service out of rubber, plastic, and metal if you don't let it just sit around oxidizing. For instance, tire companies say to not use tires past a certain age even if they've been stored on a shelf .


Anybody know what model this truck is? It's hard for me to imagine a situation where racking up this kind of miles on a pickup would make sense. If was used for payload or towing I'd want a bigger truck to make less trips.

 

 

Let me know if they need a pilot truck since I am just across the border

 

$6,000 to cure the Death Wobble!!!!!!

 

Yeah - at 619,000 miles, so a penny a mile. Anyone know if this is a 4x4?

 

They threw parts at it instead of figuring what needed to be replaced.

 

I'm with you Scott... They threw a LOT of parts at this truck. With 619k on it, I would be interested to know what wore out first in the suspension...


I don't recall ever hearing of a 2WD truck with death wobble - so my assumption would be that it was a 4WD..

 

Find another one while browsing through Facebook last night! They are everywhere!

 

So maybe 800K is the new 100K.
