My money says he's running he's running Rotella.

I believe your right Scott. We can't get RVPILOT to respond.

As his name implies he is probably an RV transporter so my guess would be that he is on the road some place and hasn't checked back here.

Okay, that explains that. Now I can see how he's got 800K miles on his 96 Dodge.

I dunno, but I looked at Mark's truck gallery this weekend (Mark, I luv your truck, you've done beautiful work to it!) and it seemd that in a relatively short period (I'll let him jump in to say how short) he had travelled a 100k. It seemed like within a few seasons. I had an inlaw that did that work for a period of 4-5 months. He put on 40K during that time. So, 800K, probably not unheard of...

800k would be easy if he has been doing this since the truck was new. That would be only about 73k/year. I have been transporting RVs since Feb. '05 (quiting this fall) and I log about 100k/year (not counting home miles) and that's not really pushing it as I take some time off to maintain a bit of a job here at home for a month or two each spring and little bits along the way when I stop home. I'm sure there are many high mileage trucks out there in this industry, we just don't hear about them all. arthr31, thanks for the comments on the truck.

We're both right. He used Rotella for the first 300K and Delo ever since.
