I bet he's got over a million miles on that thing lol All he had to do was change the oil every 3,000 miles and never had any problems with the other stuff. So yeah they don't build them like they used to but I'll bet that we can do that to the 06 to, just do regular maintaince and it should run forever.
as someone who owns a 06 i disagree ... these new trucks are not made to last like that -- the cummins will last long but everything around it ... nope

and even as sketchy as a million miles with no issues on anything ESPECIALLY in one of the eras that had tons of tranny issues sounds. ok ... however you're lying, bc they didn't put the 12 valve 5.9 in a truck untill 89
