90k - lift pump
99k - Vp44
110k - Melted #3 Piston due to a Injector Nozzle Breaking, Rebuilding the engine now.
I was hoping for better mileage on mine. But it didnt happen.

I just saw a 2001 that my buddy sold to a guy years ago. It now has 506,XXX Miles on it, Pulling a horse trailer nearly all of those miles. Its beat up, but still goes down the Interstate just fine.
