Ok, my 06 LBZ truck just turned 100,000 miles and I want to make a report of the good, the bad, and the ugly. About 25% of those miles were towing.

It always makes me chuckle when people say "I have 20,000 miles on my truck and it's been a great truck."
Well hell, I hope so! It's a brand new truck!

Anyway, here we go.

Engine:
10 oil changes
6 fuel filter changes
2 new glow plugs
2 Air filters
1 set batteries (2)
That's it for the engine.

Other things:

2 sets of tires (factory + 2 sets I put on.)
4 shocks at 50K
4 steering boxes (Don't ask; it did not need any):M
1 set of engine oil cooler hoses.
4 burnt out lights in the steering wheel buttons
1 Steering column bearing
1 intermediate steering shaft

That's pretty much it. Pretty good for 100,000 miles. As far as I'm concerned it won't be a good truck until I get 200,000 with no drive train repairs. Then and only then I will say it is a good truck. :)

I really like towing with this truck but don't like driving it solo. All in all, I like my truck. :)

I have to tell you engine oil cooler hoses, steering column bearing, and steering shaft should not fail in 100,000 miles. Not good service.
