My old 1995 2500 had over 280,000 miles on it.
My current truck has 186,000. I still hear the chirp when I turn it off...

Let me clarify my previous post, My inlaw who was driving my truck commented on how much pickup my truck has with a camper and 8000 lb boat on the back. He has an F150 pulling an atv trailer with 1 ATV and camping stuff and my truck was outpulling his up the hill, his ford is a gas powered vehicle or "gasser". 277,000 miles and pulling strong.

That's a riot

mine has the auto, with the medium grey leather interior. I have a 97 work truck with the same exterior color too. Although it is a 2WD long box. It has 72,000 miles in it.
