I bought my 6.7 because I wanted a diesel and not because I needed one. But I am definitely not the typical daily driver truck owner who drives a diesel and doesn't need one.

Much respect to guys like you who work their trucks and use them to work, so I get why you guys trade in/sell the older trucks to buy new.

I realize the price of admission of owning a diesel truck and personally, I'm going to rock my 16 til the wheels fall off. Plus I look at my truck as a hobby. And I've got many more things in mind for it...
Oh, I have my "daily" driver or should I say my wifes truck. The '16' F350 drw but it's also for pulling the 5th wheel (fulltime rv'ers). It's a beast and only 79k miles on it so it will be around for along time.

And we figure we will end up getting a slightly bigger camper eventually, if not a small 5th wheel. But I plan to drive mine till the wheels fall off as well, and there are lots more that I would like to do to it, but in due time! This stuff wasn't cheap to begin with, and it sure isn't now! lol...

My '16 got the DW at roughly 130,000 mi which I figured was not unreasonable. ~$750 in front end parts and an evening of work and the DW was gone and is still gone heading past 191,000 mi.

The only thing at almost 142k miles in my front end would be the track bar bushing and ball joint. Both ball joints on each side were replaced, both unit bearings and both tie rod ends. The only thing I can think of affecting my front axle is the worn tires in front, going to be replaced very soon, and maybe the trackbar BJ and sloppy bushing which would acerbate the potential for DW due to the tires.
