put 11k miles on 02 truck in 6 months

[emarsh]

Has anyone put more miles on a new truck? I love this thing!

 

[Evan A. Beck]

I put 12,000 miles on my '98. 5 in just under a month. I got 85,000 on my '01 now. These trucks are great!

I must like mine twice as much then, 42,000 first year, outta warrenty in 10 months. I'm sure there's guys with way more miles than that to. The last 2 trucks I was outta warrenty within the first year, the 3yr/36,000 miles thing just doesn't cut it.

EMarsh - I see by your sig you added the underhood blanket that DC so thoughtfully cut outta these trucks - assuming you drove it at least a little while without the blanket, have you really noticed any significant advantage in putting it on - and do you hafta remove all the hood mounted wiring to install it - or do most of the electrical stuff simply run between the blanket and the hood?

Just went over the century mark on my 01...

Where do I get my TDR grill badge????? I love this truck..... If she doesn't get wrecked, I'm going to be like the USAF and the BUF (B-52), keep her running forever!

 

[emarsh]

Gary- yes adding the underhood blanket made a big difference, I posted immediately afterwards on the cost, don't remember now, but well worth it. Yes, I just put mine on over all existing wires plus the hood light on/off switch I had added. Just be sure to get 8 or 10 plastic "buttons" to secure it.

Let's see, I bought it 2 yrs ago on the 4th of July (note the color) and I just rolled over 43,000. So I'm almost averaging 11,000 every 6 months.

28,000 in 2 months.

Damn Lurch, you need a airplane!

I put drive my truck atleast 1400 - 3000 miles per month or 35,000 miles year. And yes these trucks are great. The more I drive or tow with it the more I like it in knowing that I bought the right truck.

I have had my truck for two years now, I am averaging 12,600 miles every six months:--)

Miles

Just turned 15k took delivery 21 Dec 01- a little over six months ago- daily driver to work and some short trips- been very reliable- I am on a 28-30k pace per year

Had the truck since Oct. 2000 and am at 54000 now. That's about 2700/mo and 16200 in 6 months. It's amazing how many miles add up when your fiancee lives almost 200 miles away

 

[kiwi bird]

Dang! You guys drive a lot.



I've got 15K in just under 6 months doing daily commuting and weekend playing.
