The only problems I have had are bolt on items. water pump, alt. leaking turbo tubes, and a broken tube on front of motor. I have 240,000 and use no oil with all the horsepower my stock tranny can take. I once replaced turbo with stock and it was worse than original so it is back on truck.

I think your truck is going to be fine. Might want to check out some grammar classes at the local community college though...

Mark, download Mozilla Firefox as your web browser. It will be a lot safer than internet explorer for you as far as viruses and spy ware and it has a spell checker built right in. You can make it look and work very similar to explorer so the learning curve will be almost zero. I bet you will like it better.

While we're on this topic another good trick to help you become a better speller would be to use the CC function on your television. There are some errors there, but they are far and few between.

Back to the truck...I wouldn't worry about the mileage as much as I would the abuse...My 7.3 has 225,000 miles and runs and looks great. I've had minor bolt on problems in addition to working on the front end a few times to keep her pointed straight.

i've only had minor problems also
cam sensor
my driver side caliper is hanging up ounce in awhile (havn't fixed it yet)
clutch pressure plate
also i think it needs a alignment but i need to fix the rough country spring sagging issue first
i also need my work truck (95 ranger) put back together since salt and potholes took care of the spring hangers and shackles waiting on spring bushings

Anyways, I've only got about 80,000 miles on mine. About once a month, we go to a squaredance festival that requires pulling my 11,000lb 5th wheel over the mountain(s). That's as exciting as it gets.
