My dad's truck has over 200000 miles and my uncles 350000 and still going strong. They are work trucks used for pulling heavy loads including heavy equipment. If your truck isn't giving you issues I'd keep it. 120000 is just breaking it in.

Expert Posts: 1525	I have an 08, F350 6.4 and I really like it still. Its almost paid off and I too have contemplated whether to get another one or keep driving....mine has 300k miles on it and counting. Still hauling hard every weekend and it never misses a beat! I really thought about just going and buying the same truck with less miles. The only thing I have had to do with it is replace some little $35 sensors here and there. I really love it. I think they had some trouble with the radiators with them...I am not sure if they replaced mine or not because I bought it used. But other than my 2003 5.9 Dodge this is the best truch I have ever driven.

Nut Case Expert Posts: 9305 Location: Tulsa, Ok	I ditched our F450 6.0 after it stranded me the second time. The first thing was a high pressure oil pump. When it went the truck shut down 100% dead in the water with three horses on. Next thing was losing 2 injectors when it was 7 degrees 9Pm at night and we had 4 horses on. As I was setting in a McDonalds waiting for someone to come get my rig, I realized I was completely over that truck. When the injectors were replaced I drove it directly from the repair shop to the dealership and traded it off. GOOD RIDDANCE.

Mine also did this to me on a major highway in the rain with three horses in the trailer. Luckily I felt it slowing down and got far enough off the road but it completely shuts off without much warning at all. Very dangerous with a horse trailer on the back!

So glad my newer diesel starts like a normal vehicle and I don't have to wait 20 min to go somewhere. This truck was chipped and cooling system re done!
