1/4 Million Mile Club

[btfarm]

Became a member when I rolled in the driveway tonight!
4 sets tires, 1 set shocks, 1 front hub, front steering and suspension redone once, brakes done once, 1 trans cooler return line, batteries once, 2 glow plugs. Obviously mucho maintenance done religiously.
Took a couple of pics just as I turned the miles up. Still lookin' pretty darn good after 8 N. Illinois salty winters. 120 miles of those roads every day since new.
Couldn't be more pleased with it.

Congratulations, yours is the only high mileage Duramax I would buy you being the only and original owner, IF I could pry it off your hands and just the truck I would be looking for as I do not see many shortbed extended cabs...:woott:

I only have 213,000 on mine and it has eaten at least 10 glow plugs.

Good looking truck.

You must take really good care of it. What really surprises me is how good your wheels look. Mine where starting to peel after 3 years and only making trips up north for vacation.

Only 2 glow plugs? I have done at least 6 of mine.

The #1 reason the truck and wheels look good after all those winters is it's parked in my farm shop every night and it's above freezing. I go through the super wash once a week to get the salt flushed. The PYOs get overspray of conventional armorall every so often and it gets wiped into the surface pores of the aluminum. I guess I lucked into a trick.
And yes, all original paint. The front got redone at around 100k thanks to a big buck though. Grill, bumper, valence and a couple of lights.
Thanks gents for all the complements. I appreciate it.
