338,000. Finally replaced the front brakes.
96000 miles on my '06 and it's the best one yet.
176000 on my '03
My 2001 has 283,000Miles on her. That would be like 490,000 Kms! Still goes like Hell!!!!
my '02' has 123,000 on her and i have the cyl. heads sitting the bench. (blown head gasket) sure do love that truck, every part i buy seems to have a duramax tax on it! hope to get it running soon.
238,000 miles, 6800 hours, one set of injectors at 125,000. Still running great. No transmission problems. What should I expect to go wrong??? May have a 2009 coming my way, but not sure if I want it. Any advice.

If you have the ZF6... watch out for the clutch/pressure plate and dualmass flywheel. They just can't take the DuraMax beating. If you have the 4x4, watch out for the x-fer case leak. There's a known problem with a little 4 bit clip that rubbs a hole in the bottom of the case and all of a suden... lots of noise.
Just keep it clean and talk nicely to it. It will carry you all the way home.

With 360,000 miles, should I start looking for someone to do a valve job?

Mike, Thanks for the information. I live in Northern Michigan and will start the truck and let it warm up. I have noticed a transfer case leak under the truck if it idles more than 5 minutes or so, but no noise. I just assumed a bad seal at the yoke. I did replace the yoke around 100,000 miles. I understand the head gaskets can also be a problem. If so, is this typical for engines over 200,000? By the way, my truck is a 4 X 4.
Thanks, Scott
I have 325,000 miles on my 2006 crew cab dually, 99% of those miles were pulling my 34 foot enclosed trailer, still runs strong and nothing but the normal things I have changed.
