i got a 98.5 (view sig) im at 320000 km now 200 000miles. how much more life can i expect out of it. im trying to decide weather to go ahead with o-rings, studs, valves. so more fuel and air can be put to it but is it just wasted money putting it into a truck with these km's
what are your thoughts would you start a new truck or keep going
thanks

 

Those miles wouldn't scare me.

 

Only thing I could see is if the body is in rough shape, maybe that would be the deciding factor? I know my 99 from running salty roads in the winter all the time has taken it's toll. Eventually I will purchase another 99 (with a good body) and just swap parts over.

 

if you have kept up on the oil changes and the up- keep and the body is not falling apart I would keep it

 

Go for broke buddy, I know I will with this truck as soon as I can afford it. I'm at 315k now.

 

I'm looking to be a member of the million mile club with my truck, one day...

Keep it!

 

the engine will keep, as long as u play nice, its just the wrapper thats the deciding factor. personnally id keep the cummins and just keep swapping the wrapper. ford dodge chev all have their strong points and its not a crime to mix it up to get the truck u want.

 

Yep. That mileage would not scare me at all if it's had decent maintenance.

yeah i got no complaints about the body and i got it from the orginal owner who was a old guy that pulled 2 show horses. thanks for everyones input
