Wow, quite a milestone there! Those seem like some intensive repairs, but with over 300,000 miles, I guess it's understandable. Do you LIVE in your truck? That's something like 250 miles a day. Do you spend $500 a week on gas?

Crazy, but pretty cool achievement!

I have had my truck for about 6 months and have only put 3000 kilometers on it! Going on that it will last forever.

Yup approx $450 - $550 per week on gas.

As far as repairs go only towed 2x, pushed my luck too far after smelling coolant and truck started to get hot so i let it get towed in and the driveshaft was clanking but i couldnt identify where it came from..

the rest is just normal 300k worth of wear and tear in my book especially since ~100k of those miles were with 3-5k lbs in tow.

All covered under lifetime bumper to bumper except the front hubs and cats, considered normal wear and tear. (i think the cats should last longer then 120k miles, needs a new set now just holding off for the cost factor)
