    How about a high miles contest?

    Any year Duramax, highest mileage recorded on the odometer wins - your choice of any TDP Book.

    If you win, we'll need a digital photo of the odometer and at least one good front 3/4 exterior photo, along with a couple paragraphs of text describing the truck's history and your use of it. The miles don't have to be all yours.

    Let's begin by saying I've got 51,000 miles on my '01!

    I know there are trucks out there with more, but my '01 just turned over 100,000!

    Here is a 'high miler' '02...and what appears to be a SMOKIN' deal. I would consider the rolling chassis and tranny worth the current price. Even if the motor didn't go another 100K (which it likely would) you could drop a low mile LB7 from a wreck and have ~15K in this truck!!!

    Too bad its only 2WD...

    Why or what madeyou change injectors? I ask because my 05 is in gm shop for injectors right now. Poor service dept at local GM shop, I'm wondering if that is my problem. I had a roughidle develop at 45,000 mi.

    My '01 GMC 2500 has a little over 170k miles on it. I gave it to my foreman when I bought a new '04. Tried to trade it with him but he said he would rather keep the '01. I have 4 other trucks in my business that I wish were Duramax's.
    I had 4 injectors changed on the '01 under warranty, a water pump & an alt. but I still like the truck very much. I ordered it new in December of 2000 & got it in Feb. I only bought the new "Duramax" diesel after reading all about on this website.

    Thumbs up Still Love My '02 D/A 2500HD with 168,000 Miles

    I too chose Duramax after lurking on this site for months. Thank you. I took delivery of my Chevy 2500HD Ext. Cab LS D/A delivery 09/08/2001. It has had a relatively light duty life even though I've put on 168,000 miles: I live in Monument, Colorado. Drive 100 miles round trip to work and back each weekday. Take two lane roads to Denver; generally travel at 55mph. I get 19 to 20 mpg in winter; 20 to 21 mpg in summer. I also pull a 26.5ft 5th wheel camper around Colorado and surrounding states a couple times a year on vacation. I can achieve 12mpg while pulling if I stay on two lane roads and run around 55mph. The truck still drives beautifully. I run Michellin M&S 265 75 16's and get 50,000 out of them. Dino Oil. It still has the original brake pads all around. Nuetral Safety switch replaced at 38,000, just out of warranty. All the injectors replaced under warranty at 104,000 and again at 119,000 under warranty. 1st replace may not have used the updated injectors. New Batteries 2 months ago. Left front axle seal replaced 2 weeks ago. I figure I spent all my fuel savings on maintenance costs over the years but, I still love this truck. Plan to keep it to 300K miles and year 2012.

    Thumbs up We have a winner!

    Brian Dupont is the official winner with an odometer photo showing 240,000+ miles. A couple of late entries will also appear in the writeup as honorable mentions.

    In the meantime, anyone with 300+K are invited to send in your pics to the email address below. You and your truck will get the recognition you both deserve.

    Thanks to all!
