CajFlynn, have you had this truck since "brand new"???? How many sets of brakes pad, calipers, tires, U-joints, oil filters, gallons of oil etc. have you gone thru. It'd be interesting to see!!!

As far as I know he got the truck with 300K or so... I've known Caj now since like 580K miles... Miles fly by quick for him...

How many parts is a good question. I get asked that a lot. I can guess at a few. 1. New tires every 100k. 2. Too many u joints to count. 3. Three gallons of oil every 20k miles for the first 500k mikes and three gallons for every 8k miles since then. 4. 2 head gaskets. 5. 4 transmissions. 6. 2 rear ends. And a partridge in a pear tree.

I had to do the second head gasket because I reused the bolts the first time. You live and you learn. I changed my oil every 20k because i thought that was what I needed to do. I drive a lot of highway miles and it seemed reasonable. I switched to 8k because I got scared. That being said when the head was off it looked pretty good. I have never had any oil related problems other than leaks. 997,662 so far.
