I have been a powerstroke user sense 1995. My first truck was 1995 ford f250. I put 840,000 miles on it. For the last 50,000 miles or so I was getting diesel in the oil.
My next truck was a 1999 ford powerstroke. It had a manual transmittion with more problems that I could handle. The input shaft kept trying to break. I put less than 200,000 miles on it when I traded it in on a 2000 powerstroke.
My wife went with me and we team drove for about 6 years. It was a regular cab and I stretched the frame out 6 and1/2 feet and built a sleeper on it. The first engine went about 750,000 miles in it when I replaced it It souded like it had a few valves sticking. The next engine went about 400,000 plus miles on it. I changed all the injectors in it. In the process I took all the glow plugs out and tried to turn the motor over to get the oil off the top of the pistons. I just hit the switch and it seamed to turn over 2 or 3 times and some thing went crunch inside. Well I got the motor to run for about a second at a time because I kept filling the high pressure oil pump. The next engine had about 40,000 on it when I bought it. I put over 800,000 on it. The truck had 199.890 miles on it when I found my present truck,2001 ford f250. I went thru 3 engines, 7 transmittions and 3 differentials. This new truck had 150,000 miles on it.
I've got 540,000 miles on this new truck. I put on a new transmittions shortly after I bought it. I went thru most of the miles untill recently with no problems. When they get a lot of miles on them they will not start when cold. Cold is about 50 degrees.
