Finally went over 200,000 miles
Things have slowed down so much in the oilfield I didn't think I was ever going to get over 200k. Got a decent run yesterday and when I got home last night, really early this morning, I had 200,308 miles on my odometer. I still believe this is the right truck for the type of work I do. The combined gross wt of the load yesterday was about 27k and I averaged 11.69 mpg over the 600 miles of the run. If I can remember how, a picture of the odometer and truck and trailer are below.

It's been a good one. I had some problems at first, but everything has been taken care of and the last 50k has been trouble free.

It is stock, no enhancements, just a few things fell off. Some roads are rough in the oil patch.

I sold one 5.9 with 419k on it and another with 345k. This one is just as good, now.

Besides being a quad cab, I have the identical truck even silver, bought June 07. I've just turned 10K and kind of wondered how big the gap could be to a serious user. Now I know!

Works slow up here in NE Texas oilfield too. My 06 should have passed 300k by now, but 3 short runs a week are prolonging it.
