today was the day, on my way to work this morning i surpassed the quarter million mile mark on my truck. the motor is doing very well for me, i have only replaced the i.p. once and replaced the pmd once. no oil usage issues to speak of and still has lots of power. who else has taken their 6.5 this far? talk to me.

Just rolled over 200K miles, so mine is still an infant...):h

331,000 with a major rebuild due to dealership machinic's error, but still the original block.

289,993 as of today. No oil use yet. 2 Ip's, 1 wastegate relay (I think) Qm put it on, He will vouch for me. I have been thinking about trading but its kinda fun to see how long the damn thing will go. Also I have never EVER had or seen a truck that is this comfortable.

300,719. Just replaced LP, IPS, and PMD. Now it runs like a sewing machine! May take it to Mississippi this weekend- 2000 mile round trip- then i'll be close to 303K!

Edging up on 200k miles on mine. Pair of heads, IP, set of injectors, timing set and LOTS of small stuff so far.

188K on the way home from work today. A little smoke, and needs a new IP, but a good truck so far.... Hoping for another 120k+!

:bleah: :bleah: :bleah: .

Approaching 200K. Several IP's and PMD's, new AC last summer, lots of little things, but damn proud to keep her going! Goal is 300K.

:bleah: :bleah: :bleah: .
I feel the same way CR. All these high mileage guys rubbing it in.:joke: :lol:

Just tripped 200,000 on my way into work this morning. I have replaced a clutch, pmd, lift pump, and ops switch. I have been runing over a year now with all the mods on my truck and still no problems.

Mine is at +197K miles one DS4 @ about 95K miles: Lift pump, alternators -:t , Waste gate lines, Waste gate solinode (can't spell it either).

4L80E sme # of miles and just flither / fluid change and one speed sensor cleaning. :cool2:

I plan to make 300K miles.

Can you say by pass oil filter :cool:

Hovering right at 195K right now. With the new (new) engine coming, I hope to get to 400k before needing anything major inside the motor.

I have been thinking about trading but its kinda fun to see how long the damn thing will go. Also I have never EVER had or seen a truck that is this comfortable.you are correct jt. i have never been in a truck as comfortable as mine. my dad has a f-series super duty with a powerjoke and the damn thing is so rough it is like riding on a sheet of plywood. imagine all the work they go thru to put that machine together and your ride is like $hit anyways.

I've got 252,340 on the ticker. Only minor replacement stuff like OPS, lift pump, glow plugs,PMD,and a new torque converter. I've owned the truck for about 3 1/2 years and just love it! Hoping for 350,000.

Dam ...you guys are making me jealous. 295,000k and " bam " blew heads .sure it would be still going strong if i never put gas in it.......:cool:

:badidea: ouch yea that will shorten the life of even the best diesel!

so i found out.. havent had to do anything to it, since i bought it 4 yrs ago..just maintain the oil level and change it once in awhile.. new tires muffler, shocks and brakes.. the norm.. needs new ball joints and ty rods in the front end cause the tires tow in, a little hard on the front tires,, but other then that, was running like a gem. Ill have it running soon i hope.. diesel here is 1.01 a liltre not sure what that is in usd.. still way cheaper then gas....

Well thats good, I hope it keeps treating you well, its nice to have a lady in a 6.5L that knows what she is talking about and how to change oil and stuff! Most ladies don't even know that you have to change the oil! lol

ha ha , you ll find me to be the first under the hood.. most men shake there head.. if i had the proper tools id be right in there fixen the motor too..id be faster then some of these dum a$$ loser mechanics.. I dont know alot about diesels but learning all the time.this forum is great for information,the guys are super helpful,i am getting to know where all the parts are anyhow. worked in a parts store that helped too, being pretty independent (some say stubborn) also helped, my daddy wished i was a boy.. taught me alot....small hands are helpful for those hard to reach areas..:p: not afraid to get greasy.. it comes off..eventually..that orange stuff is great grease remover..currently I own a fabric store..lol..seamstress.. jenn of all trades...under the hood in a skirt..:lol:
