How far would you go ?

As long as you're changing your oil every 5000 miles, almost any car today will last to 200, 000, or even 300,000 miles. I just sold my 2007 Dodge Soccer Mom with 207,000 miles, and I beat that thing like a rented mule.

I read a book a while back from the Car Talk guys, and what one of them stressed is that YOU be happy with the car. I.E. does it still appeal to you, run well, etc. Don't let little things go like rattles, or dents or scratches because they add up and overall ruin your opinion of your vehicle. It's way cheaper to paint a car versus buying a new one.

I think you should enjoy your truck to the fullest. Adding $1000 or $2000 worth of mods is still more cost efficient than buying a $50,000 truck and have it lose 10% of its value as soon as you drive it off the lot.

See I don't have an issue with spending money, it's not knowing after putting that money in if it will last. I change my oil every 3500 miles and I had the drivers side and tailgate painted to clean it up. I usually put the best that I can find parts wise into it, and most who see it think it's a brand new truck.

At this point I'm going to add my Bilstein 5100 and S&B cai plus audio and drive it until it goes. Meaning I will still maintain it as if it were new, but I feel if I need to mod Iwill do that to my other vehicles.

damn that's some driving but I'd stop putting money into it cause your not gonna get it out of it

At the very least I have to have the level replaced as every post I see on the forum is against doing it that way. So as I've already ordered and have the Bilsteins, I may as well install them.

I have just under 55 thousand miles and I don't see myself stopping anytime soon.
