[QUOTE="saltbranch, post: 1131837, member: 13181"] I agree highgrit on older trucks. It takes alot of maintenance to keep these old trucks road worthy. I have a 05 Dodge 3500,5.9,6peed with close to 400k on it. Still pumps out about 20 mpg on the highway. Its about 100 mile radius truck for us. I worry more about age than miles myself. Old parts are ..old parts and they will fail at the most inopportune time. I had this clean 89' f350 crew cab, 7.3, 5 speed. Loved that truck, it was taken care of before I got it and I was spot on maintaining it. I called it my retirement truck, it was that clean. I really had no idea on miles...400k that I know of. I had a O ring go out in the fuel filter head. Simple part to replace...except that no one had it that I called and went to. Prior to this I had some other things go out that left me on the road and I had to call friends to come get me. I am approaching 50 yrs old, its getting harder to find friends/relatives that will roll out of bed at 2am to come get me cuz my truck broke down. I use to put 90-100k a year on\ a 1 ton hotshotting. I am no stranger to high miles, age is the killer. JMO [/QUOTE]
