I ordered mine new...it came in with 8 miles on the odometer. I had 42,600 miles on it 365 days later...It may only get 12-15K a year put on it now.
Never any modifications and only dealer replacement of fuel system components...less filter.
Anyone else ever figure how much they truly spent on fuel? I did the math a while back... bawling
Right now mine is within 1K of what I spent on the truck based on an average cost of diesel at 2.75 a gallon... rant


Well, mine has 175k on it, and I do run a programmer. I had read some can damage the injectors....I have put 35k on it with a programmer, and until last October, no issues. So I do not know. I would like to replace all six with the +60hp injectors, but these are way more costly than my '98 was. Maybe they just have a certain life span, dunno yet.
