Almost to 300K after in the pasture for a year.

Bought an older car for the long commute in March '14 to save on fuel costs. Daughter needed to borrow the car (for a couple of weeks) so back in the truck for the last 2-1/2 months. Air works better than the wimp car so I'll drive it until September and get the 300K badge. I hate to even get back in the car again.

Your upcoming 300,000 mile badge/tag sounds cool, congratulations. Lots of miles one one rig.

Back to the pasture for the winter at 303K+ miles. Ya see the truck has blend door issues and getting heat to the floor is a PITA. Yep, I know the fix.

My '02 Ferd Taurus is a good commuter but it needs an AC compressor. The heat works quick and well.

Transmission rebuild at 119K, Injectors around 275K. Brakes, ball joints, etc.

That's not bad, especially 275k on injectors

About 85% highway...not sure if that helps. I changed them when I started to notice white smoke. Went with +50HP.

Forgot to mention u-joints and shaft balance. Driver's seat is tired.

Still driving it this week as the ferd car has a clogged heater core.

Let me know if I made it to the print version.
