Turned over 200K...
... and going strong, except for the white smoke I've written about recently that might not be a problem...Time will tell.
So far in the life of my truck, other than regular maintenance things, I've had 2 EGR valves replaced, EGR cooler replaced, FICM replaced on good batteries...
I hope that it keeps rolling along.

Nice I bet your truck still has a lot of go left in her. We have got fleet trucks at work ( all 6.0's ) that have almost 300,000 on them and they run well. The drivers of these trucks arnt known to be 6.0 experts either ie, no warm up or cool down and little regard for the vehicle itself, so the miles that these trucks have are hard earned lol.

I'm hoping to push toward 300K now, and then 400K like my last truck... 
Really, this truck has been for the most part, quite a truck, and power to burn, and even decent mileage, really decent unloaded.
I thought I'd post because some folks are having so many troubles, and although I've had a few they've been just that, rather few. I hope it stays that way but I take meticulous care of my truck so maybe it will. I don't want to get another one right now... would rather wait for the new horses they're engineering, and maybe a year or two into them, so you see I'm being optimistic about my current truck.
I really love my truck.

Nice to hear words of encouragement. I've had my Ex for under 10K miles and have dropped over $1K in parts, ( 1 injector, batteries, alt, oil cooler, EGR delete, coolant filter ) I am thinking I should be good for a long while now though. I really like the power of this motor pullng my camper.
