My truck turned over 150,000 miles today....
Going 60 MPH over Snoqualmie Pass, pulling our 10,000 lb 5th wheel coming back from Wenatchee. I bought this truck in 2004 with only 20,000 miles on it. I figured up the fuel "economy" for this ...

That is saying something! It takes a lot of work and money to keep a 6.0 powerstroke alive for 300,000. Lol couldn't resist. Hope you have had good luck with it and that I did not step on a nerve.
Been fortunate with my Ecodiesel so far have 225,000 towing AS TT & boats. If it broke it would likely be cheaper to pick up a used engine.
OP That 8.1 is a good motor hope you get another 150k out of her. I knew a guy who put a 500 Caddy in a rollback pickup and often carried one & towed another with it. He said the chevy 8.1 was a lot like it in chamber design fireing order etc and he had good luck with it. Did about the same as yours on fuel with a 800 Qjet
