I pull commercial so alot of it is highway miles, but the key to this is DO YOUR MAINTANCE, all of it ...fluids filters, grease, tighten bolts lube hinges, you name it, if you think of it do it...thats the key....you dont need amsiol either....its the service that makes long life, not the amount of money you spend on oil

upper and lower ball joints and inner outer tie rods, just replaced them for the first time about 50000 miles ago, When i firdt got mine i greased everytrhing really well dont trust factory greasing...found alot of them with maybe a half a thimble of grease, so do your servicing faithfully, it will pay you back.

when i first got the truck i took all joints apart and greased the joint directly....then i started using the needle, but the key to this is to grease the joint not just inside the boot, when done with the needle i cleaned it off with brake clean and siliconed the hole shut, worked great for all those miles

Top's Younger Twin
Just over 142 k on my 6.7.
Friend of mine has an 06 with over 700,000 kilometers on the clock...but...he is now on his 4th engine and we figured out why. New engine had bad injectors...running stock...lost two holes. Replaced under warranty and had a strange idle. Bad injector again...lost another hole and had to pay for a new engine. New engine had the same funky idle...now he has a good used engine from an 07 in there with all fresh injectors.
He also has a 6.0 F350 dually Ford that as run with and Edge Juice all its life and is turning over one million kilometers very soon. Never had one issue with the engine. He got the good one from Ferd.
