older truck getting it done

Yes but very rare.

 

Mine's a 2000...1.5 million miles on the clock with many, many more to come.


Motor was in framed at 950,000 miles, Somtimes you can get more miles out of a motor and sometimes you'll get less.
I'd be leery of a motor with 700-800K that has not been gone through.

 

I am!

 

Yours sounds fine to me....

 

i don't have 8-9 hundred thousand miles on this truck...

But my other one did. I miss that truck. I just don't miss the headaches involved with it.

 

It would have been a good truck if it hadn't been worn out!

 

Which goes back to the subject at hand.

If the vehicle was properly maintaned in it's life, it will be a good running vehicle for many years if proper maintnance is continued.

 

That's right....

 

I'm running a 2000 kw t-600 with 1.1 million on the clock. As of today I have spent 8,000 on maintenance and repairs this year. N0 Thanks to a clutch I replaced for 1,800 last weekend because some moron technician a year and half ago pinched some fuel brackets between the engine and bell housing when replacing the clutch. So it finally came apart again after wearing out the input shaft.
