I have 125,000 on my 2006 Big Horn. Drive it to work everyday. With $1.96 diesel it's like driving for free! Lol! So far no failures of any kind. I do have a gaping hole in my stock muffler but plan to install either a resonator or Banks system.

Since last year, my 6.0L finally bit the dust, got me a new 2015 with the 6.7L, LOVING IT! It has more power than my last one did chipped out, and so nice having full warranty and maintenance package. I just drive, put in fuel and tires.

She was totaled, I ended up buying an F150 next.....oh wait, that wife. Yeah, she was fine. Several chiropractic visits and that's it.
It was about 280-ishKM, so about 175k miles. Already had studs and new head gasket from when the TTY's let go, egr delete, custom sct tune, 4" down pipe back exhaust 35's etc. It lost an injector, and cracked a head, was going to need 1 head for sure, full set of injectors, and the guy that bought it from me ended up having to do the FICM too.... Wife said enough, get rid of it, get a new one full warranty, maintenance, worry free driving for 5 years. It's been soo nice the last 6 months just driving, not having to wonder if today's going to be the day... lol.
That's a shame to see, glad everyone was alright, they're tough trucks. The old one you could barely tell you had the UTV up top, and a 6k 27' travel trailer behind, even going up some of the steepest longest mountain passes in BC. Mine owed me nothing when it died.

I'm the brokeazz of the bunch. Still using my 96 S10 ZR2. Got over 230k miles on her and runs like new. Does great in the mud with that factory locker. Was looking at a newer full size but wife wants an SUV with 3rd row so guess what we are looking at lol.
