Still running the factory brakes.
New fuel pump at 180,000.
Miscellaneous items and regular maintenance.
Doesn't use a drop of oil between oil changes
and that's carrying the 4000 lb camper fulltime.
It sure has been and still is a great truck.

Yes but the spare tire needs air.
We all should be so fortunate. And it also still looks good. How does one get a quarter million miles out of a set of brakes?

The GM 6.0 may be GM's best motor they ever built. Not the most powerful HD gas, certainly not the most fuel efficient but even with just moderate care, they will last a very long time. Hopefully the 6.6 gas will turn out to be as awesome.

No salt and lots and lots of Interstate driving, I'd imagine. Just big loops down I-10, up I-5, across I-90, and back down I-75.
Putting 10-ply tires on half ton trucks since aught-four.

Good thing it’s not a EV. Regenerative braking would not help Mr. spectra much!
