Passed 400,000 Miles Today

That's awesome, congrats! I love reading these stories. This is also the reason I searched far and wide, and decided to go with a Tundra vs. any other half ton.

 

Awesome to here my truck will last for a long time too. Great job keeping up with the maintenance as well.

 

Amazing that you've never serviced the transmission...

 

This is awesome

 

Awesome! Looking forward to that milestone in the distant future!

 

Congratulations.
You mentions some things you did and did not do. Did you change the diff fluid or how often did you change it?

 

Wow, 400k, score man!

 

amazing !

 

Damn it, and I was excited about hitting 67K on my 2014...

 

Our parts truck at work (2007
Tundra rev cab long bed) with the 4.0 v6 is at 340k. Damn things great

 

No still running original fluids in transmission and diff.

 

When I was a kid Toyota used to run commercials with trucks that had 500k miles. Those commercials and stories like your’s are why I bought a tundra. Thank you for sharing.

 

Hell yeah man thanks for sharing! Every day I hope mine makes it to that mark, currently at 125k. I love hearing yours are all short trips, because that's what my miles are, too.

Let's see...

125,000 + 6,000x = 400,000
125,000 + 6,000x -125,000 = 400,000 - 125,000 = 275,000
6,000x / 6,000 = 275,000 / 6,000
x = 45.8 years

Guess it'll be a while before i get there...

 

Nice to see a little algebra in the morning. Lol

 

So it's a 5.7...I'm impressed. I'm one of those just watching this engine to see how it does in time before I go moving on up. So you had absolutely no problems with the drive train? Well keep on trucking, and we will be watching for that half a million mark.

 

Very nice! Plus a giant A in the window for the Colorado Avalanche!

 

Thats pretty cool and all....but seriously.....give that poor guy a drain and fill or two....

 

That is awesome!! The 5.7 is truly one of those engines to go down in history as a special one.

 

This is awesome , congrats man. Gives me hope that my 16 with 36k has a long life to go

 

Congrats!

 

thanks for the info. You just saved me about $700 or so. The dealer is trying to push a front and rear diff change, a power steering fluid change and a “fuel system cleaning “

 

Nice. She eat any oil between oil changes?

 

Wow, I only have 850 miles on mine in the 5 months that I have owned it. I guess it should last me forever if it will go 400,000 miles.

 

Are you capable of climbing under the truck and using basic hand tools? A few years ago I had never changed my own oil, now I do most of my maintenance. There is no reason on this earth to pay someone to change the diff fluids. Unless you're not physically able. If I can learn, anyone can.

Skip that fluid system cleaning. Those are bullshit IMO.

 

No kidding. I don't understand the logic there. Fluid changes are one of the easiest things to do, and typically cheap. That has to be the blackest diff fluid ever seen.

 

Thanks for sharing with us the great news! You abused her but she still faithful with you. You never know, treat her well and she may serve you another 400,000 miles or more.

 

algebra and

 

savage !

 

That's impressive! I'm also in the Birmingham area as well. Here's my ride if you see me around
