I have not driven as much as Juan but have driven about 35k miles in the last five years... Looks like no one here really drives that much except for Juan. I drive mine ALOT but Juan takes it to a whole new level. I am glad you found a computer down there Juan! Take care and hope you can stand Rob. Thanks for all the help
I have had my truck for about four years but it took me at least a year to get it on the road and have driven it around three thousand miles. I think Juan and Cabell will be the two high mileage folks and they have the diesel engines I think. Fun to drive.

Rob is Ok, he is a workaholic and you really have to keep up his pace but the only real problem with him is he snores. He sounds like a Rhino in mating season.

Take Care.

How far
I have owned mine for a little over 9 years and have driven it about 2500 miles, mostly back and forth to parades. The farthest i have driven was about 30 miles one way in a convoy with other military vehicles to a show at American Legion post this past summer. Had a great time and hope to do more of that in the next few years.

Bought the M37B1 that is now my shop runner in 1985, Cummins powered 5-speed OD. It has roughly 200,000 miles on it now. Mileage was 17,000 when I got it. Most of the miles were put on it when it was a service truck in my grading business. Still ready at a moments notice.

I got my truck in October of 2005. Backed it off the trailer. Drove it once around the backyard about 500 feet. Then I parked it and began tearing it down. I wish I would have played more before disassembly, but this spring she will back out of the garage under her own power and be drivable again

I didn't have my truck very long, less than a year I think, but I drove it a couple hundred miles. I'd have driven it a lot more except the original engine was very sick (40 PSI cranking pressure) and I couldn't afford to rebuild it.
I think PoW has the record for the most miles, over 250,000 about 10 years ago when I first talked to him.
Speaking of PoW - and not to hijack this thread - has anybody seen or heard from him lately?
