If you bought your truck with 0miles and did all the maintance to the "t" how would your truck stack up? Stupid, but kinda cool.

Mine: 210,000

Oil changes: 70@ 3,000miles
490qts of oil
70 oil filters
$140 in oil @ $2.00 a qt
$280 in filters @ $4.00 qt

Fuel filters: 10@ 20,000miles
10@ $15.00
$150.00 in filters

CDR: 7@ 30,000miles
Coolant: 9 coolant flushes at 24,000miles
Injectors: 2 sets of 8 @ 100,000miles
GP's: 2 set of 8 @ 100,000miles
GP controller: 2 @ 100,000miles

I know prices aren't exact but man that alot of money! Not to mension all the additives you add, pumps, belts, pulleys, air filters, tires, u joints, ect..........:blahblah:

what kind of oil are you using for $2.00 a quart...mines about $10 a quart :|

Well I get rotella-T 10-40 for about 10buck a gallon.

thats cheap but if you look around and talk to smaller oil distributers you can get deals, with my company i get a 35 cent discount on syn blend. so like 48 doller for ten litres and its awesome stuff for the winter.

How about 70 oil changes every 3000 miles?

that sounds better

Damn your right. Too many zeros. O'well

Wait a minute here.

490 quarts of oil
$960 in Oil, not $140!

2 sets of injectors holy crap... mine are still OEM and I'm just considering them.

OK, we've established that kicker's not a math wiz. :D
However, all that oil and filters are way cheaper than the note on a new Duramax.
Plus you'd still be changing the oil in it too.
Mine turned 216,000 miles this weekend, towing my Jeep from Baton Rouge
to Gilmer , TX and back. Got my new PMD remote mounted @ the bumper
now, so hopefully oil and filters will be my only expenses for a while - but when we
finish paying off the wifes Tahoe, those D-maxes are gonna be
mighty tempting :)
