10,000 in 18 months is 555 mpm

NoMo at that rate your 15 year old truck will still not be due a rebuild with a scant 200,000 +/- miles on it

I put on 30,000 in 24 months or 1250 mpm.

My 200K point is only 11 years from now

Sure is good to have a vehicle or two that are my equivalent of a sacrificial anode

That'll be cool 05V10!

I may not be able to keep the miles off the truck much longer. Management where I work has gotten a bug up their butts about people working from home so I may have to start driving into the office... which will be 50+ miles per day.

No increase in pay for me and they have to start paying for office space, phone, etc.

I'd go into more detail, but I don't want to drag down 05v10's thread with my off-topic rants. Like I said before, the good thing is that I might get to drive the truck more.

Today was the day she rolled over to start the next 100k. I'm going to get service done tomorrow at the dealer for new plugs,change the gear oil front and rear and just check everything over. Just for fun this afternoon I layed down two 80' parallel trails of burnt rubber on the street! BSEG

seems like that LS unit is still working correctly... on the re lube of the rear end do not let them put in too much friction modifier

Fred, it's always easy to get the Traction-Lok to lockup on asphalt.

It's when you really NEED both wheels to spin that it won't.

However, I did notice a big difference when I only put 4oz in my rear .. wait, that didn't sound right.
