2006 F350 "lifespan"???

How many miles do you think you can get out of a well maintained 2006 F350 6.0? I know it's relative but with mostly highway miles and only pulling a light load (cattle trailer) occasionally (once every couple months). I have a tendency to think that the engine will outlast the chassis and other components but I'd be interested in hearing everyone's opinion on when these trucks start nickel and diming you to death. Thanks.

Ford mentioned a 250,000 mile design life in the 2005 Super Duty press kit. I know it probably was just a marketing point. But that was before problems with the 6.0 PSD had become known.

You might want to post this over in the SD/HD section, you'll hopefully get more responses there.
