I work for a electrical and data contractor in upstate new york and we had a guy that dropped off a new fiber splicing trailer to our shop in new york that is from indianna, i thought he was joking when he told me his 2001 24v dually had over 863,000 miles on his truck til he showed me his odometer. he also told me he has not had any major problems, replaced water pump and injection pump and alternator but nothing major. he claimed he never even had a rebuild done on it, i was shocked. its so amazing what these motors are capable of. he said there is another guy at his company that has a 2000 24v with over a 1,500,000 miles! and they haul trailers all over the country with them everyday.

 

Maintenance is key

 

Yes sir, maintenance and don't overly abuse them. I saw one at a ruck stop here, he said he had over 600,000 on his.

We have a bunch of 08 ford f-550 bucket trucks at work with 6.4 powerstrokes and most of them get about 6,000 hours at about 60,000 miles before the motor blows up and we change the oil every 200 hours religiously because of all the emissions. we have had 3 motors replaced already.
