As noted.. How many miles you have andd how long you plan on keeping it in milage terms and/or years I guess.

I have 2004.5 150,000 and am how thinking of putting that Greoend trans, garrett turbo, manifold, spool aid, smarty.. Have all the gauges and a fass.. So - why would would to sell it if I just did all this.. I am shooting for 500,000 miles.. The thoought of getting another truck is no. Bought mine new..

I have 98,000 on mine and plan on keeping this one for a long time. I figure if the engine blows I will just rebuild it! Trucks are too expensive to be changing them out! Principal tells me not to spend $60,000 on anything but a house!

I only got 83K on my 05.

bought it when i had a different carrer path so now i use it on the weekends for fun and to pull some minor loads. Im hoping to some day put it back to work

i plan on drving it till the wheels fall off. If i made it over 300K id be happy though. it all depends on how costly repairs become in the future.....

ive got an 05. 76,000 miles.

I plan on keeping it forever.

I cant wait to pay off the 12,000$ loan on it, and buy a new tranny.. WMI kit, injectors, turbo, 40 mud grappelers, etc.....

113k at the moment, and I want to go to the graveyard before this truck does. Doing what I can to repair the abuse and neglect of the previous owner, and get a little more fun from it in the meantime. Hoping to hit at least 500k on this thing before I give up on it.

Bought mine new at the end of 06 and now have 135,000 miles. The truck has been everything I was expecting, been very reliable. What I did not expect was that I would use it as a family vehicle as much as I do. So to that point, if we continue to use the truck as the primary family vehicle, then I might sell it in 3 years and get an 06-12 Mega. Otherwise, I would love to make it to the million mile club...

Wait, that means even averaging 2500 miles per month, I would have to keep it another 28 years....hmmmm.

93,000 miles on mine and I love it for the most part, but have been contemplating going to a 1500 hemi. I don't drive near as much as i used to and the rough ride and loud noise of the turbo and diesel drive me crazy on longer trips now. I can't believe I am saying that as a few years younger I loved the rougher ride and the whistle of the turbo. I guess I am getting old. Ha Ha. If anyone has a half ton hemi also let me know your opinions of it. Thanks.

The truck in my sig: '05 QCLB 4x4 six speed.
