Here is my 165,000:eek: mile report!

Other than CEL caused by using using an AFE drop in filter my only other failures have been 2 rear axle seals, and a power mirror. I have been fighting a vibration problem for about 70k and still can not get it fixed. I also have the squeaky belt problem, but have not had any time to look into it. I am still on the original brakes with better than 50% left. Second set of tires are also about 50%. All maint has been done by the book or the drivers info center. I have been using Rotella T and and Napa Gold Filters (thanks Fleetfilter.com). In the rear I have been using Royal Purple, and the trans is on Transynd.

So far the truck has held up pretty well, sounds a bit louder at start up than it did before, but heck I guess its finally getting broke in.

I hope so, there are still a bunch of payments to be made:p: .

I was hoping to be about halfway to where you are, but the Censored insurance still wont get back with me, so I haven't been working for a couple of months now.

when it starts useing oil then its broke in put oil in it drive it till it dies ill bet 800000miles or so the driven hes doing keep that thing and let us know

It uses no oil at all. Its still at the full mark when the DIC says change (avg about 9000 miles).

Just out of curiosity, are you using a chip or any performance product?

Congrats on the mileage...Keep crusin'...and I thought my 75k a year was alot ;-)

Nothing at all. Tried an AFE filter and just kept getting codes, so I went back to stock.

haulin-rv, looks like you need to change your signature to 165,000 miles +.
Hope mine goes that far with no problems. Best of luck and se if you can get her to 1,000,000.

Way to go. By the way, do ya ever sleep? lol:D

That's awesome :thumb: I just turned 20K on mine not 1 problem..

Are you running the EGR blockoff & fingerstick??

That's awesome I don't even have 43000 on my 04. As far as the vibration goes on my 1996 z71 the vibrations always came from u-joints on the driveshaft to the front wheels. i could be completely wrong, but that sounds like a good starting place to look.

How fast do you usually tow? Do you use the cruise? Fill us in. thats awesome mileage.

I use tow/haul and set the cruise. I usually tow around 63-65 to try and get some fuel economy (I used to just go 5 over the posted, but 70-75 just sucks down fuel). Empty I usually run 5-7 over the posted, but not usually over 75. My vibration starts to get bad around 75.

That's awesome :thumb: I just turned 20K on mine not 1 problem..

Are you running the EGR blockoff & fingerstick??

No, totally stock. I have been waiting for the Edge to come out. Now I just want to see how the MPG gains are. I did real well on my Dodge with an Edge EZ.

Hope it still goes well for you Haulin. I quit Horizon in Mar, fuel high wages low. Didn't work for me anymore. Truck mostly sits in the drive now. only 43,000 on it but never a prob. When ya wear it out you can buy mine all set to go .LOL Be Safe.
:grd:

Since it is still stock (no Finger and egr block) and over 160k on the ODO, Is your oil real black from the soot issue people are talking about?

Soot issue?? All diesels soot up the oil.

My oil is black even after I change it.

Well I guess at your mileage it does...I didn't know if you ran external filters..I know the powerstrokes do horribly since I service alot of my customers F-450's (railroad vehicles - idle for hours)

is that all? Broker had 130,000 miles on his in feb-march:rolleyes: . He prolly has 400k on it now:rolleyes: . LOL

I hope mine is still running that strong with that kind of mileage.:grd: What kind of mileage are you seeing?

i have 181500 on mine. bought it used with 179000. i'll never see over 5000 to 8000 a year. probably crazy to buy one with that many miles but it was in perfect condition. ive had a few problems with the ac but its been great. 16,000$ i just had to have it. i could have waited to get one with fewer miles but didnt want to pay any more.

Wow haulin-rv that is awesome. My 2006 LBZ has about 5950 miles on it. Glad to see yours doesn't use any oil, gives inspiration for us all. How do you drive your truck, I'm asking about warm-up time, cool-down time how you drive it when it's cold, everything, I want to know.

I really don't do anything special. If possible I try to let it cool down after a long highway hall before shut off. Other than that I just get in and go. My truck does see a bunch of idle time, gotta stay comfortable when parked for the night.

haulin, how many engine hours? sorry if i missed it. thanks.

Wow. Thats some serious mileage. I have 25,000 miles on my '04.

Haulin what kind of tires are you using? 165000 mi and you are only halfway through your 2nd set. I know duals will run more miles but I can't even get close.

Factory goodyears went like 97k, and I now have michelins. I usually get 100k out of a set. But remember my miles are all highway.

15k on mine in 3 months....Good to see she will be strong in 150k...Im sure it'll be good beyond 500-600k

That is a great milestone! Way to go.
