Probably not gonna see this ever again...

2004 T1N.
With T1Ns only getting older, 80,000 miles is getting harder and harder to find and I doubt I will ever have another T1N with this few miles. Although I'm enjoying it while it lasts!

Well I saw a 2005 unit the other day with 11150 on it!
Its first service no less!.

Now I confess I have yet to see one with 800,000 on it but I did have one 2003 in the shop a while ago with 600,000 on it running like a Swiss watch. A veritable Patek Philippe ! A bit battered and rusty but a strong runner!
With a service history documentation including regular cooling system services continuing, I bet this beast would go the distance and hit a 1,000,000 mile marker.

So far a good TIN is a marvel and so easy to fix.
I am only hoping to see the 4 banger 906 reach the same in reliability levels.

I turned over 100,000 last month, I've been driving it much less since getting married and moving 50 miles closer to Portland. Wouldn't mind seeing 1,000,000; of course that would mean I'd be around 215 yo! I doubt #2 diesel will be available in 2165.

Sure it will, we can always make biodiesel!

52,000 here. 2006.

But not for long.

I'm up to 352,000. A local fleet should be up to 750k this year.

It's amazing any machine can last this long. 750k, taking some averages, as near as I can assume, is around 2 billion revolutions on that engine. Which is 1 billion explosions harnessed. Wow.

You need some extra curriculum diversions!
You didn't by the way calculate the odd misfires into that calculation!!!
Cheers Dennis

94k here on 2004 144 hi roof cargo

Just sold my turbo 83 300d with 698k on the clock and still running strong as can be!

This thread gives me the warm and fuzzies.

250,000+ on my 2004 Freightliner 2500

Indeed harder to find. My 2005 140wb PWagon just passed the 80k mark after a 3000 mile trip back in August. I guess there are plenty of low mile T1Ns out there within the camper/conversion market but they are just not for sale as often any more.

My 2006, built in august 2006 as a passenger hauler, T1N has about 43K miles. I keep vehicles a long time. I still have a 1942 3/4 ton 4X4 miltary Dodge carryall that I bought in January of 1973.

No I did not, nor did I account for idling. YMMV (Your math may vary)

in regards to this thread, Im looking to buy a 04-06 2500 long tall cargo or pass with under 100k mi on the west coast, im in phoenix but will travel. any leads text me @ 760-622-0148 -Randy

Saw this the other day... T1N with only 6,000 original miles. Cant imagine how its been driven so little. (PS - I don't know the seller nor am I trying to help them sell, just was browsing craigslist and saw it.)

2005 with 85.000 on the clock. I am probably due for a cooling system flush. I do spritz the radiator and condenser of from time to time with a low pressure water nozzle.

Just turned 740,000
