Most MILES on 02' truck?
My first and definately not my last diesel !!
Built Jan '02,
'02 Patriot Blue, Auto, Edge EZ, wastegate chained shut, still running on the original Michelin tires. Purchased new 2-28-02, just turned 77,000 miles, only time it was in the shop was for a new lift pump and vp-44 at 70,200, all covered under warranty, don't pull much, but carry heavy loads, (clutches as a matter of fact) I am a clutch rebuilder in Memphis.
I had 2 V-10's before this truck (what was I thinking!!)

Well lessee......
February build date, picked up in mid April.....7.4 miles on clicker new...
Fast forward through 1 lift pump and VP44 last September at 57,000 miles, one factory set of Michelin street tires, one set of Wrangler All Terrains, and just re-shod last week with BFG All Terrain KO's, the clicker just rolled through 119, 674 as I pulled into the shop (had to run out and check odometer). Mostly daily driving for work between jobsites and the 40 mile 1 way trip to and from work 6 days a week.
MAN I LOVE MY TRUCK!!!!!

it's a shame you guys don't get the chance to enjoy your trucks more... 
with my '92, I did 65k in a year... only had a trailer behind it for ~700 miles! LOL!
with my '97, I've put almost 20k miles on it since December.
what can I say, I like to DRIVE these trucks!!

The funny thing is that I bought mine used. It was orignally purchased 5/02 and I bought it 9 months later with 65,000 miles on it.
Unfortunately, I bought it as a repo from my bank and never got to meet the original owner. That was a driving fool, he averaged 7,222 miles a month.
I am pretty confident saying that they were highway miles.
