I am right around there, in the low 240K mile range and am having my first real issue with the torque converter other than that 1 alternator, a set of U joints, front rotors and rear wheel seals are all that has needed to be replaced. I was trying to figure out how many sets of tires I have gone through the other day and it is around 7 or 8, also counted oil changes once and it is around 70.

I have tried to change the oil every 5000km so that would be 79 oil changes so far she is due for her 80th now. I've also replaced universals twice, rear axle seals, Starter positive lead to battery, and brakes, rotors, caliper mounting brackets, fronts more than rears. etc,etc,etc,

I have the same Truck and Engine. Not to far behind you and it still runs like a new Truck. It's good to know they have that much life in them. I'm going to keep on driving mind untill the big bang. I bought it new and I'll tow it to the junk yard when I'm done.
