    When you do the math, with this amount of miles on the truck? I have spent an entire year of my life just driving this truck and nothing else.

    Crazy, when you think about it.

    OK -- now I'm freaking glad that this computer doesn't have a use timer (or a keystroke counter) on it! ;)

    Here's an interesting bit of correlative analysis applied to the products of two noted, and notoriously prickly, American... umm... entrepreneurs, a century apart. :)

    Yup. Didn't need to but did it anyway. It started blowing white smoke at startup and instead if chasing the issue down and possibly having constant issues with it, I just had them swap out the motor. This was at 320K miles, I think.

    What I find unfathomable is that I tow, and have been towing some pretty heavy loads for long distances, and the tranny is still original with zero maintenance done to it.

    I call her, "Ol' reliable". The thing is a workhorse and she still looks new.

    Besides the motor and basic maintenance, the only thing I have had time replace was the throttle body control actuator unit....which is a fancy term for what used to be a cable from the gas pedal to the carb. It's all computerized now. That was the only other "major repair" I have had to do to her. Not bad for as many miles as she has, especially knowing what kind of loads and heavy on the foot driving I do.

    All in all, she's a damned fine truck. You couldn't pay me to drive a new one. Waaay to many maintenance issues being reported.

    I hear ya man, too much computer controlled garbage to go wrong on newer trucks.

    A lady decided to smash my Lexus SUV to the tune of 8k in damage to the front end. So I've been renting a car waiting to get it fixed.

    Ist SUV... Volkswagon Atlas.....piece of junk. 4 cyl. front wheel drive in a decent sized SUV. Noisy, drove like a boat, terrible in the snow, slid all over.

    2nd, Jeep , their smallish 4by4 version. Another piece of junk, but....it rides more like a sports car, handles well and the cabin is way quieter than the Atlas, go figure. Control layout is terrible though, and just feels more like a Hyundai.

    A new Lexus is 60k....not paying that, screw 'em. I'll buy another used one. Once your car is hit a certain way, they never drive the same. Hope you get another 400k out of your truck.
