My current daily driver is a 2007 cummins dually with 170k on the odometer. I traded my 1999 Powerstroke with 300+k on it for the dually. The Powerstroke ran like new and all I ever had to do to it was one transmission rebuild.
I also have an 1989 cummins, with who knows how many miles, that I drive frequently with no issues what so ever...if you can ignore the purple paint job.
