Right about now .....now that you jinxed it by reminding it how you've abused it! ;)
Just kidding, sounds like it's been a great truck....put $10k into it and drive it another 200,000 miles! WAY cheaper than buying a new truck.
I was in the same pickle last year, 300k on the old 2003 7.3L F350....truck was in immaculate shape cosmetically, mechanically it was way past due for SOMETHING to fail....original fuel system, water pump, glow plugs, injectors etc....but it still ran perfect....which is the best time to sell.
Disclosed everything done and not done to the buyer, and still got $13.5k for the old beast. Only paid $28k in 2004.
Only reason I didn't sink $10k into it and shoot for 500k miles was that I wanted more towing capacity.
If the truck does everything you need, keep it going. $10k beats $50-$60k any day of the week.
