Have to be a member of Duramax Forum to see the album. I'm a member of the other popular GM diesel forum. I'd go crazy if I was a member of them all.

How many miles you put on since you last posted? 🙂

Pull campers out of Indiana Factories all across US and Canada. I can drive 11 hours, take 10 hours consecutive break and go back to driving.

See if you can see pictures here Chevor's Album

He has a 2010 truck with 519,000 miles on it.



Good Golly Miss Molly, that's a lot of miles on a 4yr old truck!

Chevor, I assume you drive commercially? Just curious...

That's 173.000 per year.

Let's assume those are work miles, because there clearly is not enough time in that schedule to take a walk through a national monument to look at the falls.

8 hours commercial driving limit per day, 60 mph speed limit, is 480 miles. Now he may drive 65 (not legal commercially), but he also can't drive 60 mph through a gas station and the related freeway exits to get there. So the mph will wash.

480 miles per day means that he is sitting behind the wheel grinding out 8 hours of drive time for 360 days a year. Curious what he does on the other 5 days of the year? Leap year makes a big difference with that kind of schedule.

Most people only work 200 days a year... which would turn out to be 865 miles a day for chevor. To ring up 865 miles on the odometer in one day requires 14.4 hours of driving (without considering fuel and bio stops).

So between the very short amount of time since chevor posted his message, and the time that I saw it, he will have already driven more miles than I will drive for a month. Or two.

Now THAT's a lot of driving. Whatever tires chevor uses, whatever service ideas that chevor has, whatever maintenance tips chevor suggests... agree or not, he has the experienced on the asphalt to back his opinions up.
