Low miles

I noticed today that I finally rolled 98,000 miles. It would have been last week, but I noticed it today. (98,008.x)
I am just curious to know how many are still out there that are still under 100,000.
I know mine is cause it was used for a pulling truck and nothing more. (same as I am doing with it.) I spose that's what I get for buying a truck with 4.10's!

my truck has 87540 miles, but they are probly the most hardest unforgiving miles you could have on a truck, my truck is a former brush fire truck, it sat for periods of time then when it did drive it was driven hard and demanding, heck it i know it was, i used to use it when i was a fireman at the dept that it used to be at. but i bought it cheap and trying to restore it to better than new cond, it just take a lot of time.

That's what I'm thinking.
Is that your 89?
Not saying it can't be, but that is low for a 19 year old truck, regardless of gas mileage.

No, Im talking about the truck in my sig. 89 F250. The only other two vehicles outside my house right now is my dads 04 powerstroke (a little under 100k) and my moms explorer (120k). Nobody believes me when i tell them the mileage but it was used as a farm truck and then set in a barn/shed for a few years.

you sure it hasnt rolled over? what did it read when you bought it? Its definetly possible but i know in 89 the ODO only had 5 digit readings (plus tenths, so technicly 6)

Don't think you can. Unless the computer tracks it some how, but I doubt that.
Just say you have 58,xxx. I won't tell anyone.

i just got a new computer and trying to figure out how to download pics, heck i can barely type 1 word a minute(lol) i will try to get pics up soon. it does not look like a fire truck no more, i took off the bed and filled all the holes where the lightbar was and converted it back to a single wheel. i was rougher than h*** when i got so it is def a work in progress, but i have had a few people come up and say that the truck is looking good so it is def worth the work.....oh and i also painted it back to white where as they had it painted red......i just wish i took before and after pics.....
