MN trucks can go the distance however, we suffer the effects from salt on our roads . Not just the bodies but underneath as well ie: brake lines, fuel lines etc One 97 has 266,000 & the other 206,000

 

Nice, I agree. Although in some cases, the factory actually used the best part (Spicer ujoints, Timken bearings, etc.)

 

Because of the “lifetime” (100,000mile) warranty?
Better parts upfront, less warranty costs.

 

Ahhh Damn 89 thats a machine

Old girl got 181, 326 on her. She is an electrical nightmare, replaced front suspension, but in the 6 years I've had her has started and ran like an champ every single day. Plan on going to my great reward with her by my side.😂
