Hey, just curious to see how many high mileage 6.0 liters there are out there. Like more than 250K miles.

Some searches will yield some very similar threads. Some folks definitely over 200k.

Since the 6.0 came out in 2003 that's not alot of time for 250K miles. 50K miles a year.
My truck is over 200K.

Damn phish do you ever get out of the drivers seat. Glad to see you got a good one. I'm surprised its lasted that long with a tuner.

Great to see the high mileage w/ original injectors AND without blowing head gaskets. Congratulations.

There is probably a connection between Bullydog and 2 blown transmissions.
