300,000
Mile Club! |

Here's to sitting on your behind,
and all those oil changes and fuel. |
 Getting a truck over 300,000
miles used to be harder, back before
fuel injection, good diesel engines and synthetic oil. A long life from a
truck usually reflects proper maintenance and care. If
your truck made it, email us your story and
a
picture of it. |
 This
is my dads 1977 gmc truck it currently has the original engine and
trans has been replaced once it has over 300,000 miles on it now it
is still my dads daily driver to and from work |
 
My husband bought me that pickup, a 1996
Chevy Silverado, in 1998 with approx. 29,000 miles on it. He passed
away in 1999. This has been a wonderful pickup. I brag about my
pickup to everyone. I had to replace the transmission at 77,000 but
that was it. It still runs like a charm. CHEVYS ROCK! |
  My
1994 Chevrolet Panel truck, (bed installed by them.) Original
motor and transmission. Pictures taken on a recent business trip
to Northern California. Odometer showed 300,009 miles.
May be one of a kind? Recently
contacted the supplier of the fiberglass unit to discover they
stopped fabricating these when the cold weather back east caused
severe damage between cab and front of unit. Mine was purchased
in San Diego, CA as new, w/ 3,800miles. A demo that
was presented to Chevrolet showrooms across the country. Would
be interesting to find anyone who has seen, or has owned a Panel
truck like this. Paul Dufresne

   This
truck has the original clutch. I've replace the alternator,
twice. One water pump. And, the rubber 'balls' in the trans.
The tires are two sizes larger than factory. I've had the over
sized tires for the past 300,000 miles. It runs about 5% off on
the speedometer. Michael Kenslow, Denton, Texas

 Here
are some photo's of my 1993 W-250 Goat/Cummins when it turned 300,000. It
now has 316,000. Still runs like new engine or auto/od have never had
anything but P.M. service. Truck worked hard its first 266,000 hauling heavy
loads cross country. At that point I bought it from original owner and
semi-retired it. I mostly use it for weekends and an occasional trip hauling
tracors and such. Takes 6,000 miles to use a quart of oil. Gets up to 18 MPG
solo,12 MPG under trailer.

Had a Ford E-150 conversion
van for 17 years..375,000 miles and never had the heads off! Still running
fine when I gave it away to charity. I was lonely for a truck and mom just
let get a 1996 F-150, Eddie Bauer with the I-6. Sweet truck and I hope it
lasts as well and as long as the first...You have a neat
site...Thanks...Pete B, Chula Vista , CA USA

 Well
here is my entry. 1977 Scottsdale C30, 4x2, 454 cu, 4-speed manual, 4.55
axle ratio. It did have a bed and fiberglass fenders that were about half
tore off. I put a Plunkett 8'6"X9' steel flatbed on her. I lost track of the
miles after the odo turned over the third time. I put the second 454 cu
engine in at about 150,000, the second differential about about 200,000
miles. Dozens of universal-joints, starters, alternators, at least 2
clutches. I ran the water clear out of the engine a couple of times, it had
a pin hole in the heater hose from the water pump to the block and pulling a
trailer in the heat didn't take long to fry the engine. But each time I
replaces all the hoses and sparkplug wires, yeah they were melted too. Then
ad the water and she fired right up ready to climb the hill again. Then the
last time I over worked her, everything locked up. So I pulled the wheels
and flatbed and hauled her to the salvage yard for $500. I still miss
ole blue! MrTruck, Colorado |
