1,000,000 mile problem, small one
1,000,000 = 1609344 km
I am averaging 438km /week
(About 169,000 in 84 months)
1609344/438x52 = 70 years
hmmmmmm
Do they still let you drive when your more than 110 years old?
What a great achievement, Congrats.

This is from memory so I could be missing a few details, but it's close to accurate. I didn't give mileage on everything but could get pretty close if needed.
Injectors @ 750,000 I know for sure.
One tranny @ 280,000 but the one in it now seems a little sticky.
He’s on his third clutch. I think the first one went for 500,000 but I'm not positive. I know we didn't replace it when we changed the tranny the first time. We found out with the tranny and clutch that if we replaced the pilot needle bearing with a brass bushing it lasted much longer and could have been the cause of the first tranny failure. The stock clutch lasted the longest and we definetly like it the best. Same with the throw out bearing.
Only two front hubs. We found a way after the second one went out to grease the hubs (through the brake sensor hole) and now we do that periodically, no more problems.
I think he’s on his third alternator and third or fourth water pump. We will only get factory water pumps from now on. The aftermarket pumps won’t hold up. Same really with the alternator but he had a lifetime warranty on it so it was replaced for free.
Two Front Control Modules.
In tank fuel pump replaced twice (not sure it was needed the second time).
We just changed the rack and pinion for the second time.
One U-joint replaced with grease zerk.
Original injector pump.
Original power steering pump.
It was serviced religiously.
Again thanks for all the comments. It's parked by my place now so I'll get a pic of the odometer and post it.

If you need to keep track of mileage, you can get another cluster out of a wrecked truck and have the dealer program your key to it... Of course you will have to disclose this change if you ever go to sell the truck, but honestly what would be the value of any light duty truck with 1M+ miles on it... So just don't ever plan on selling it...
Great for you guys! I'd like to get 200,000 out of mine! The engine in my 04 gave up at 98,000, my 06 has 156,000 & i've already replaced the engine & rearend. Pulling 10,000 lbs of freight. I'm happy for you though!

Not disputing this exactly but...... How would you replace the instrument cluster and the mileage still be correct unless it is controlled by another component? Maybe the PCM?
Sorry it took so long to get this on. Although you can see the mileage I wasn't happy with the pic so I wanted to get a better one along with pics of the truck. I will try to do so asap and post them as well.
I thought it was going to get parked for the winter but he's been back on the road with it. Not sure how many miles are on it now.
Also wanted to add that without this forum we would have wasted a lot of time and money on our trucks. This has to be the best one on the web. Thanks
