How Many Miles Will It Go?

Hey everyone, I am thinking about getting a 6.9 or 7.3 non turbo f250 or f350. is 150,000 a lot of miles or is it just getting broke in. I have a 01 Peterbilt with a c15 Cat with 850,000 miles and its still running strong and uses about a gallon of oil in 12000 miles if I idle it alot. Thanks

150,000 is not bad at all if it has been taken care of and well maintained

I got a lot more than 150k on my 93 turbo with the original everything and it runs better today than it ever has. Dads got over 300k on his 92 non-turbo and does not use a drop of oil. If you take care of it a little there is no reason why it should not last 400k. I am planning on driving mine when I am 65 and I only turned 40 in April.
