Default 300,000

Been waiting for all the boys to come home, and tonight we rolled 300,000 miles on my 1998 Suburban. It is the only rig that I ever bought new. It has hauled my family across the USA without incident.Original motor and transmission, faithfull oil changer. Now days it does full time duty pulling boats. Its nice to never have to unhook the boat after hunting.

A mile stone I'm proud of.

I know this don't count because it was a diesel but my '95 dodge had 600,000 on it when I sold it. The only thing I ever did to it was change turbo's. I had an oil seal go out @ 500,000 mile, so I replaced the turbo with a twin turbo kit. The thing really came to life after that. As for the truck it's self it didn't look so great, but what do you expect for a dodge.
