The '07 with the 5.7 might not be a worn out beater yet but it will be before I give it too many days off work.

How's the frame on that truck? I had an 08 with the 5.7. One of the best trucks I've owned right up until a tree fell on it last December. Frame was getting pretty scaly though.


Eh...wot?

One of my vehicles is a '99 4x4 toyota with 400k. I'm going to keep that truck running as long as possible; I don't care how beat up it gets. I really don't know how it keeps going, I change the oil about every 20K miles and run it hard over very rough logging roads.

Lug nut we don't have to salt roads down here so the frame and underbelly look better than the topside.

Still driving my '02 dodge ram Cummins, 464,200 miles on it, six pin holes of rust on it, I plan to drive it as long as I can, newer trucks are overpriced junk
