WHO'S THE WINNER? Why I'd say anyone who posts as many miles as some of these guys are all winners, course the final winner will depend on what date the awards are given out, right? I know I don't have a chance, but I do have 84,000miles on the factory tires and they look like they'll make it until winter time, thats probably when I'll put new ones on. Great contest!!

I am going to try & get a picture of the odometer of my truck this week if I can. The foreman I have driving this truck wouldn't take a new truck truck of anykind if he had to give up this 01' GMC Duramax with 220,000+ miles on it.

Just under 90K on my '03, no mechanical issues what so ever.

[tonyskidoo]

I have 105000 miles on my 2001 and have done nothing except change the oils and filters, she is still running like new and getting ready to make my 7th trip cross country towing the car trailer with a 8 day turn around.

2002 GMC Sierra 3500 2WD Crew Cab Dually 232,000 and climbing!!!! Injectors replaced twice, 1st at around 140k and last at 190k, Turbo replace and injection pump also replaced around 200k. No blow by either!!! 6 new tires, fresh oil, and just bought a Bully Dog Power Pup. Also got a Bully Dog Shift Kit that I am going to install pretty quick so I can change all the fliud and filters in the tranny. Having a hard time with one problem though, my milage stinks. I am getting around 12-13mpg on the highway, and 10mpg around town. Hard to start, but if I put a brand new fuel filter on it has no problem, but one tank of fuel and back to hard starting again. Please anyone with any suggestions PLEASE write to me at ImSweetDaddy@aol.com Thanks For Reading!!!! Eric Muenzler

I sold my 2001 D/A 2500HD crew cab srw, that I bought new, to a good friend about a year ago with 285,000 miles on it. It now has 317,000 miles. It was a loaded SLT and used with a 38 foot Featherlite trailer for my business. I build hot rods and Corvettes for people accross the country and offer personal service, so I travel a lot for pickups, deliveries and some shows. As of this day, the truck is literally in perfect condition, everything works great and it gets 18 - 19 MPG unloaded and 10 - 11 MPG with 12,000 - 14,000 lbs of trailer. Other than a nightmare of injector problems (it's on it's 3rd set of injectors), It has had no problems or repairs. I have done regular services religiously and of course new tires as necessary. Believe it or not, it still has the original brake pads! The truck is 100% stock, except for the gooseneck hitch, 56 Gal fuel tank from transfer flow and my Sirius satelite radio. I now have an equivalent 2005 D/A 3500 srw with 120,000 miles and I love it. No problems, not even injectors

[ChuckZ]

I have a pair of Chevy Duromaxs. The 04 has just under 290,000, The 06 was just a year old, has 186,000. Neither has had injectors or any major problems. Looking at a 07.

[Mark Rinker]

ChuckZ - do you run fuel additives? What brand/weight oil and what is your change interval? Transmission, diff and tcase lubes and intervals?

[steak2k1]

I should have been a bit more careful in my choice of words/generalization...I do believe that the older Ford diesels were actually quite good and did in fact live long. I was referring to the newer models that I have heard are not quite so good at longetivity.

rgds,

steak2k1,

Not a problem. Sorry if I got a little defensive. I'm kind of a ford guy..... or at least a 95 f350 psd guy. In reality I think they all break, but I'm not to happy with the ford 6.0 either. the wife's getting the lbz

Ok so I bought my "01 Duramax?Allison truck from a norh slope oil company...first off I love to say it is running really great. If you can find on standard cab 4x4 for less than $11,500 go for it. Typical of slope workers they had cut the e-brake cable, added block heaters, pan heaters, tranny heaters, cut hole in roof for search lights and more. On the good side it came to me with 2 newer Red top Gell cells. I did have to replace the worn 7.5 radials with 265/75/16 E rated BF all terrain, I also added a full K&N filter and intake set. I was/am still amazed with the 1-2 Gallon per mile I have gained. Now for the cool part, my truck has well over 6 thousand running hours on the motor and is a will keep being our dailiy driver for a few mor years I want to know who else has this really high miles and what if and issues have they had!!!!
