Yeah, it seems like a paper weight, huh? The previous owners used it to rarely pull a bass boat, they were my brothers-in-law. I felt bad for it always sitting, always keeping it waxed, Stabil in the tank of new gasoline and an oil change each year even if it only went 460 miles/yr.
When I took possession, the state inspection station guy made a comment before inspecting it "at that mileage, what could possible be wrong....it's a baby". Later, reviewing the ticket, it needed nothing done. I'd replaced the tires earlier due to dry rot even though they had 90% tread depth.

I really was kidding man. I would poop my pants to get a truck like that. Then I would rack those miles up and put my butt print in the seat...

Just rolled 217k on my 05. Tranny replaced at 132k and and taken apart again at 190k to fix a piece that had cracked that they didn't replace the first time it was done.
