Sad day.

Well, my truck has just turned over 30k miles.... Sad day.

What do I do with it now? Do I need to go ahead and order a casket for it? Retirement plan? I'm just joking.

It sucks though, I hate it that my "brand new" truck has 30k miles on it now...

Maybe after its paid off, I can rebuild the engine.. should have about 70k miles by then. After I have it built up, I can add plenty of boost..

ANyone else have slight depressions from looking at the odometer?

It's a FORD engine brother. You have a good 170,000 miles left on it.

yeah unless you plan on putting a blower or turbo on it later on down the road, theres no need to rebuild a new engine nowadays for like 200k miles

I traded my old 02 lariat off with 18,000 miles on it. The 04 has almost 30,000......almost time to trade it too.

Mine has 11,000 at 6 months old. The trip to work and back is 50 miles. Sometimes 6 times a week.

I would be more worried with the 36K mark rather than the 30K mark.
