Contrats! These things sure rack up the miles don't they?
My truck is a slow-poke with only 253k miles. My list is similar.

Total Fuel: $45,206
43 oil changes: $2582
Scheduled Maintenance: $1276
4 sets of tires: $2692
Repairs: $7847

Repaired items:
117814 drive shaft center bearing
143781 overhaul transmission, tugger kit, cooler etc
144083 replace VSS and cup holder
187848 front hubs (both sides)
201200 rear pinion seal
236650 degas bottle cap
238217 UVCH retaining clip
241200 front sway bar bushings and spring tip isolators
243130 lower radiator hose and gooseneck o-ring
243130 ICP sensor
243453 replace #7 injector
244022 rebuild all injectors with new nozzles
250243 waterpump
250853 degas bottle cap (other one was wrong size..)

Oh yeah, 2 batteries every other year. I don't have good records because they get replaced under warranty, then pro-rated the second time. Then I start the process all over again....

Good to go. That's a pretty short list all things considered.

Welcome to the club. Funny how the reading on the odometer doesn't match how the truck runs, isn't it. There's no difference in crossing 300k than there is crossing 100k.
