Roughly 12k/year. That's about avg. Plus, he may have not had the speedo corrected after the tires. Never know.
My dad has a 2001 with ~135k last I checked. And it's been on many road trips.
My truck was a 2001 as well, with ~182k. That's a lot of miles.

As long as its had the studs and all that replaced, it's fine, Jeff. Many friends of mine have 6.0s and as long as you fix it the right way, it's perfectly fine.

I had one crop dust then cut me off right after I got the car. He was weaving through traffic doing like 80 when traffic was going around 70. I called the cops on him. Don't know of anything ever happened.

Can't argue that though.
Or, if you can find one, get 7.3L from '02, early '03. That truck will outlive you. Haha

The engine will. The truck will fall apart though.

I'm saying the 7.3 engine will last longer then the truck.
