so lets say if a person did no mods to their truck, changed oil each 7500 miles, maintained proper EGT and cool downs, towed nothing heavier than 7000 pounds, how many miles should their CTD go before rebuild? i think i read the factory says no less than 300k but they are probably erroring on the side of caution.

any one have a 3rd generation near or over 300k and what problems have you had with your truck?

thanks,
david
