Default Quarter Million

I have an '01 1500 318 (5.2). Just turned 250,000 miles yesterday, stopped and took a picture of the odometer (now if I can just get the pic off my phone). I bought this truck new and put on each and every mile on it myself except for a few hundred when my wife was driving.

It's been a good truck. Just had the trans rebuilt 10,000 miles ago, a broken leaf spring, some front end work, and a water pump is the only repair work needed.

I may get something a little easier on gas to run around in, but I'm going to hang on to my truck and would like to put another 250,000 miles on it.

He steered you right on that one. I'm not a "tinkerer". All I do is keep the oil changed and keep the salt off.

I just thought it was funny because he's the guy that sold my father-in-law his new Denali XL.

Out of almost every vehicle made there are a handful that go the distance. This is one of them.
