With 347,000 miles on your truck, it seems you have got your original investment out of it, and more...however, when frequent trips to a service provider become too frequent, it never seems you are on the winning end. Hope you come up with a plan that does not cost too much...and yes, it is hard to believe that a used truck with that much mileage would cost so much!

I did purchase the truck used and at the time it had just turned a little over 300K. I’ve gotten pretty good use of it for the most part. As a result of the extra high mileage I got it for a bargain price so I’m not surprised at some work needing done. I simply took a chance and figured it must have been a good one with that many miles on it. It is running the best it has ever run since I got it. I can’t complain about a few problems overall.

I have a Ford because of the purchase price, had another brand come along with a bargain I would probably have been the owner of that one instead of a Ford. I have a tendency to think with any of them there’s going to be some kind of a maintenance cost to keep it running in tip top shape.
