    over 1.300.000 on my 95 ser 60 det. just inframed. plenty of power. had coolant in oil, turned out to be air compressor head causing the coolant leak, but decided on doing inframe. when looking at all eternal parts, looked great for the miles, even re used the same cam. probably could of changed compressor head & went another 300,000. but rings were a lil wore & just for peace of mind had it done.

    I had a 1/2 ton with 280K. One morning I didn't know the batteries where dead and it kicked back on the started and broke it smooth off. It took the engine block with it. It was the only diesel that I changed the oil every 2500 to 3000 miles.
