    Thanks for the support guys!
    I did the labor myself on the alternator and valve gasket. And the U joint was 70$ installed, I paid 80$ to have the cat changed, and I cant remember labor on the sensor.

    Just got done reading all 9 pages. Congrats! I'm very impressed with your truck and the hope it brings to all. Subscribed now. Can't wait for the next milestone/update.

    Still running good! I just calculated my mileage for 2012 and its a bit lower than 2011. 63,398 was the total. Although I fear my crazy amount of mileage is going to slacken. I've been promoted, which is going to mean no more 1,400 miles a week. It's bittersweet because I've grown to enjoy the driving, but hey a promo is a promo so I'll take it.

    Thanks man, yeah I feel the same way. I think I'm still going to be doing some driving. Just not nearly as much. I'll get a better feel for it by the end of the month and have a good idea of how many I'll be averaging.

    Congrats on the promo! 1,400/wk means we can still expect 70k + per year ;):D

    1,400 a week is what I was putting on it : / Now I'm not really sure what I'll be averaging but I'm sure it'll be nowhere near that.

    Thanks guys! I'm at about 409k. And I think you have a chance! :)

    My brother is actually doing my old route now. His vehicle is a 80's Volkswagen pickup...... let's just say I foresee him needing to borrow my truck quite a bit due to vehicle repairs. Which actually, he is borrowing it now because his cv joint went out. And it's not a autozone type repair, some special order crap. So it'll be at 410K when I get it back. Not super thrilled about someone else driving it though. I think out of the 409k miles, 200 of them were driven by my wife and thats it.
