    How many of you 200k mile guys have had to adjust the valves, or replace any front wheel bearings?

    192k on my 1999 now. Had to replace the rear axle bearings and seals, A/C evaporator, valve cover gaskets and a few odds and ends. The rest was scheduled maintenance. I tow a lot. It has been one solid truck. Bought new in 1999 and been using Mobile1 5-30 synthetic oil and OEM fileters since the start.

    That is ridiculous. I 100% believe these are some of the most rugged, reliable trucks ever built, but you must have gotten the lucky gem. one in a million. lol So cool to see

    180k on my Taco. It could use a little work here and there, but has been reliable nonetheless. Only had one major issue and it was a bad coil pack. Put the new one on and has been fine since.

    I've put 120,000 miles on my truck in about 8 years. I'll be dead.. or almost dead.. before I get my truck to a million miles. My truck will probably outlive me

    Not sure what kind of weird late night math I was doing last night, but I've put about 120,000 miles on it in 8 years. Not sure where I got 70k from :facepalm:


    Edited original post lol.

    Again, don't quote me on my math. But my truck would break a million miles right around the time I should die. If I'm at around the 150k now, and I put 150k on the truck every decade...

    age ---- miles on truck
    25 ---- 150k
    35 ---- 300k
    45 ---- 450k
    55 ---- 600k
    65 ---- 750k
    75 ---- 900k
    85 ---- 1.05 million

    I got my truck at 280k, now I'm up to about 313k and still going strong, most reliable vehicle I've ever had. Biggest things done have been rerouted brake system and replacing some engine seals that went bad(though first shop screwed them up, so a proper shop had to fix them and all the air leaks they left behind:mad:). I expect my truck will be around for a loooooong time to come, I working out a game plan for modding her out. Someday, she'll be an awesome truck inside and out.

    Not quite. I'm coming up on 570,000, and replaced my left front bearing just last week. Drive train original, no valve adjustments.

    About to make a road trip from GA to CO and back. Unreal.
