The usual, ball joints, wheel bearings, u-joints, brake rotors,..... man, come to think about it, not much of it actually has that kind of miles on it after all!

Yeah but those are normal wear items that you'de have to replace on any truck so you're doing good.

Engine runs strong as ever. Uses no oil, seems real solid.

The items you have replaced are normal wear and tear items. With your miles you have done very well. Just my opinion.

Congrats!! After my 04.5 hit 200k I started replacing all the items you did for the second time. Between 200k and 300k it was really rough trying to make some money with it. MAKE sure you check your belt tensioner!! Mine left me down @ 2:am on a Sunday morning coming home when the temperature was below freezing. The pulley was ground down to almost nothing - never made a noise till it froze up and threw the belt coming down a pretty steep and curvey hill with no power steering or brakes. NO fun.

I have 210,000 on my truck. The only major issue has been the transmission at 147,000 miles.

That's a LOT of miles for an '07. Whatcha do for a livin'? I'm not sure but I would say it has something to do with your truck!
