Very nice, any major repairs, tuning or mods other than those in your sig? Original injectors and o-rings?

Thanks all.

Original injectors and O-rings, no tunes ever, no major engine work. Replaced the transmission at 285K which has been my only major repair. I've been very fortunate. I've been all over the eastern half of the US with it and would not hesitate to go anywhere in it right now. I love this truck as much today as I did the day I bought it.

I think it's crazy the injectors and O-Rings are original (not really LOL). That's the first thing these idjit tire kickers would mention when my truck was for sale, thinking they would have to do them right away. It's about the most ridiculous logic really. Yeah, and the engine could blow up too,but it's running fine now..... sheesh

And yet another original Injectors/o-rings. I sure wish this idiot would contact me again so I could direct his silly azz to this forum and see how injectors are not like timing belts. You don't replace them "just because".

I know I was counting down the last few miles to 300K on mine to make sure I could pull over and take a picture.

Short of a few hot torques over the years everything under my valve covers was original at 300K too.

Congrats on the milestone! I went over 300k last fall.
My truck sounds similar to yours. Original injectors and O-rings, no tunes, a couple transmissions, upgraded a few things. Might do injectors this summer.
