Just passed 350,000 kms this weekend. Spent the day pulling a 16' flat deck trailer with 4,000 lbs of hay for several hours. I've replaced the tie rod ends, ball joints twice, both sides. I added F250 front coil springs and an extra pair of rear leaf springs. Transmission and traction bar replaced once. I try and keep the servicing at every 5,000 klicks.
Strong, tough trucks.
