Default How much mileage do you have?

So every truck is different , but for everyones well being, what is your mileage, and what major / minor repairs have you had to do up to now? BONUS if you can remember what mileage the repairs were done at...
Here is mine, but since I have only had it a month- the past is shady.

1998 5.2 King Cab 4X4
96500 miles
replaced Daytime Running light Module ( It was already blown when I bought the truck)
The tranny need some adjusting ( hopefully that will fix everything)
I am sure other things were done, but I was not made aware

96k Bought the truck-tune up
100k Right wheeling bearing
102k Cat clogged to the point it would hardly even idle
103k Left wheel bearing
112k Front axle seals and u joints
115k Fixed penum and t-chain for the hell of it, neither really had to be replaced
118k now

I can't complain for a truck having over 100k on it, I do all the work myself to so its a hell of alot cheaper.

Only 36,700, 'cause I live my life 1/4 mile at a time...

My truck is in mint shape. I changed all of the fluids, the rear brake
line (driver's side), put an Auburn posi in, new thermostat, radiator
flush, all within the past 500 miles. Oh yeah, adjusted the tranny
bands too.
