Thumbs up 1.3 Million and Counting

The other day, a customer of mine came to pick-up her Diesel Vw Beetle and we got to talk'n about CTD, because I noticed her husband had one. Anyways I asked her about the truck, 95, 3500, 12v, standard cab, 5spd. I then asked her how many miles were on the truck? She told it had 375,000 miles showing but, the odometer has already roled over once. So I told her, you mean that trucks got 1.3 million miles on it? She said, It wont stop running.

Absolutly amazing.

P.S. This truck is used daily moving horses all over, 30ft horse trailer.

Now that's getting your money's worth out of a truck!

Something other diesel owners can only dream about?!
