215,000 miles on a 2002 Chevy 1500 HD with the 6.0 gasser that I bought new.
It's been a great truck, but I'm in your same boat, wondering how long to hang on to it.
The only repairs I've had to do were
Starter
Front wheel bearings
Water pump
Fuel pump
A/C compressor
The fuel pump was the only think that left me on the side of the road. Dies 6 miles from the campground on a 6 hour drive. Road side assistance took the truck to repair, and the camper to the campground.
One amazing thing is the brake pads are still original.
