how many miles?

Who has the most miles on their 6.0????
Nothing crazy, just how many miles on your truck??
Please no stories about an uncle that once saw a truck that had 1,000,000 miles on it.
Just wondering how many miles can be put on a 6.0 without any major rebuilds.
I have a 03 F350, auto, 4x4; 39,000mi
only real problems is the flash and lack of its performance as when new
oil leak, bed pan??? take it in next week
coolant hose replaced
ok fuel milage 12-15mpg dependant on action of right foot

05 with 13,500...runs great, not a single problem. Just reinstalled the 65HP mode (I was a little worried about using in before, but the power rocks).

04 F250 KR CC, 30k, replaced one battery and one radio. My only regret is, I did not buy a PS sooner.
