Could have had a new Raptor instead of all that maintenance on that old truck and still had money left over.......

If the guy had not "done" all that maintenance, we would not be talking about his truck right now !! :roflsquared: just saying ......

Article makes it sound as though this truck has one driver, which just can't be the case. 250,000 miles/year is 685/day, every day. That's about a 50% duty cycle (i.e. truck is on road 50% of the time).

OK, so the 5.4 was replaced at 400,000 miles with a 100,000 mile junk yard engine.
So that's 612,572 on a junk yard motor!
