My 05 Chev is pushing 310,000 miles

Damn, that's a lot of miles in eight years. It works out to over a hundred miles a day, seven days a week, since it was new.

I bought my Chevy Silverado brand new in 98, and it's got 198,000 on the clock. And it's been a work truck all these years. My average works out to under 39 miles a day, since new.

Whatever job you've got, you can keep it! LOL

I average between 120-160 miles a day on the ranch and it’s hard miles, lots of hills and rocky rough roads. I wear out trucks in 80,000 miles, not the motors but the running gear. I go through 2 1/2 sets of tires a year, the brakes every 30,000 and front hubs at least once a year. The GMC 3/4 ton 4x4s are the only ones that I can keep under me for at least two years, I cratered the Dodge in 40 thousand and the Ford at 55 thousand, like I said this ranch eats up trucks. Bought a 2013 GMC 3/4 ton 4x4 in January and it’s already got 26 thousand on it and I’ve already had to replace the right rear passenger door due to a couple of bulls fighting by the truck.

LOL, I love my job. I am a low voltage electrician. I don’t drive near as much as I use to. Last year I only deducted 75,000 miles.
