40,000mile behind 6.5!!

[Matt Bachand]

Turned 125,000 miles today. That would be 40,000 of them with my dunce behind the wheel... The most I've ever personally put on any vehicle, and the best vehicle I have ever owned.

I've put 104,000 kms (65,000 miles) on the 93 since I bought her two and a half years ago.

Agree, it's the best vehicle I've owned yet.

166,000 with me behind the wheel on mine, 363,000 or so accumulated.

High mileage though, so repairs are not unexpected, but it's pretty much a weekly ritual to replace whatever broke or wore out the last weekend to be ready for the next.

I've got 60,000 with me behind the wheel, and they have been some hard, abusive miles. This is also the most I've ever put on a personal vehicle.

I've owned upwards of 30 Chevy trucks, but this one I've had the longest by far, going on 7 years now, previously 3 years was the longest before I got bored, and normally 6 months to a year before I destroyed it or traded or whatever.

I too can't seem to go for too long without repairs, but it's the trade off of not having a payment. I just replaced a rear U-joint for about $17, and I'm in the process of gathering up some sheetmetal to do a semi-resto of the body.

Man, I know some people don't understand why, but I love the hell out of my truck. A couple weeks ago I got two compliments on the truck in the same day, in spite of it's being filthy and having two rust holes through the passenger side. Some people just know what they're looking at.

Wow thats a lot of miles... Hearing numbers like that make me feel like I'll keep my truck for another 10+ years.

thanks, Matt. The 255s are badass, unbelievable the things they've pulled me (and others hooked to me) through.

Hadn't looked at that picture in a while, looks funny how the rear fender is sitting on the tires. Now I've got the airbags, at 40-50 lbs plus the bodylift the rear end sits way jacked up off them.

Bought my truck with 65k and now I'm at 209000

 

[DieselCash]

I purchased my truck a year ago or so and have put a entire 2,000 miles on it. It is one of the best driving trucks I have ever owned. I will not get rid of it ever!

I have owned just about every brand their is to own. I have to say that Chevrolet is the easiest to work on and the parts are almost always cheaper.

I give the Chevrolet :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I just hit 207K miles. I have had my truck for about 90 k miles of it. Only 50K on the new motor but everything else is OE :smile5:
