Mine had 142k/kms I believe when I bought it and I put 20k on it when I owned it, I did blackstone reports on it and what showed was not pretty it so I found a new crate 6.4 and had it put in on my own dime complete cause I love the truck. Still have the old one in the shop. Great truck will never sell always puts a smile on my face when I drive it.

I had 153,700 miles on mine when I traded it in. I strongly believe that the motor was good for at least another 100K. The truck was solid too, no worries on the brakes/bearings/ball joints. Heck, I still had the original brake pads on it when I traded it in.
The coolant system is what got me. After several radiators I knew that keeping the truck was not going to be enjoyable, after the 4th one I figured that the problem was never going to be fixed. Then, when the thermostats threw a code, they were stuck open, I decided to get serious about the new truck ('11).
We all have different experiences and I don't think anyone should expect my particular set of problems should be "the rule". Like I said, the engine and the truck were fantastic. Even the DPF was in good shape after all those hours/miles on it.
