Hit 500,000 miles on my 6.7 Powerstroke last Tuesday

Was rolling into Lubbock for a parts run and the odometer ticked over. Half a million miles on basically the original engine. Just injectors at 380k and a water pump at 420k. My first diesel I barely got 180k out of before things got expensive. Got me wondering how many of you guys are running high mile trucks and what your secret is. Do you do oil analysis or just run Rotella and pray?

Rotella and prayer is actually a pretty solid combo for these trucks lol. You’re not wrong about the injectors being the weak point, but that water pump at 420k is pretty late, most guys swap them way earlier to avoid a surprise on the highway. Make sure you’re running the right oil weight for your climate, that’s the real secret behind the guys who hit 600k without a rebuild.

Rotella and a prayer gets it done every time.

Swapped mine at 380k just to be safe.
