2011 LML 500,000 mile mark

[Hoffie]

This evening on the way home from another road trip, I hit the 500,000 mile mark. I bought this truck 3 years ago yesterday with 40k on the odometer. Today, it reads 500,030.

Parts changed out due to wear: 1 set of glow plugs, 2 sets front brake pads, 1 water pump, 1 power steering, 1 cylinder head, 1 set of front wheel bearings, 1 front and rear wheel speed sensors, 1 set of front and rear shocks, 1 TCM wiring harness and TCM module, 1 power window switch, 1 WIF housing, 1 turn signal arm, 2 radiators, 1 recovery bottle, 2 fuse blocks (high beam fuse burnt), lot's of tires, lot's of headlight bulbs both low and high beams, 6 DEF sensors, 1 DEF tank, 1 complete exhaust system.

Do you know Andy Dohrman by chance??

Congratulations!

But I have to ask how you managed to average 425 miles a day, EVERY DAY, for the last three years?

IIRC, he tows for a living. He dont drive, he dont eat. :hehe:

Number of miles makes sense for a 10 hour day with Sunday off.

 

[SmokeShow]

Tom, how many miles have you logged with UPS?!?!

 

[TheBac]

Over 31.5 years? For the last 20, Ive averaged about 50,000/yr or so. The previous 11.5 maybe 25,000/yr? So maybe 1,250,000 miles?

Yes I do. Sorry, I went to Los Angeles yesterday and did not get back on my computer.

I am a transporter and I am on the road quite a bit driving coast to coast and border to border.

I wanted to add another part that I have changed out on my truck but for some reason I do not have access to my own initial thread.

I did have to change 1 serpentine belt.

 

[chevor]

I have logged about 830,000 in 7 years.

NO CP4? They must be ok then

 

[Hoffie]

The stock CP4 is still running ok.

Finally was able to upload the odometer reading from Saturday.

Better add a tmps to the list.

That stupid thing comes on whenever I hit a bump in the road, temperature changes 20 degrees during a run or just because... I just want to pull them out and do away with it, but I don't have a way to turn off the light. Discount Tires bills me for a rebuild every time I get a new set of tires put on - which is every 6 - 7 months.

Here is a better picture..

A lot of guys will put all 4 sensors in a pipe. Cab it off and put a valve stem on it. Then put it to 65psi

That sounds like the perfect thing. Can it be done with a pvc pipe?
