I thought a thread on this would be interesting to see how many actually have vehicles over the 400K mile mark. I didn't search to see if there is another thread like this so if there is please delete this.
Those with over 400k miles post up.

Not all mine of course.
My last boss still has the shop truck. Last time I saw it it had 450,000m on it. Still runs fine and passes California emissions tests.
It got beat on by everyone including customers. It's original clutch lasted 369k. I put a water pump and radiator in it around that milage just because they were oe.
It got whatever oil and filter was on sale or cheapest. Mostly proline and napa 10w-40 because I got a better deal on it. Changed when I remembered. Usually 8-9k.

What was the truck?
It MUST be a dodge ram 1500 from before 2002
400K miles is certainly tough to do especially in my neck of the woods. I’ve done 340K+(18 yrs) on an old Accord. And if the vehicle hadn’t developed structural rot damage from the salty winters, we could have gone over the next 100K mark. Not without replacing lots of parts along the way of course.
My friend / ex. Coworker has over 400k miles on a 2001 Silverado 1500 2wd. Original drivetrain still running good but he had to weld the frame on one side and the other side needed it at the end. He bought it with 344k miles.
Replaced it with a 2004 4wd with 240k.

I've got almost 450,000 miles on my old Sienna, it was a daily driver up until when we bought the new Tiguan. It still has the original engine and transmission with no major repairs, I think the late 90s was a good era for Toyota cars.
What do I win?
I guess I should have stated to please include year, make and model. 
Please tell us your maintenance history too. Filter, fluids and OCI’s. Thanks!!

This Is going to be a tough thread to crack, not many in the North East even make it to 300,000...and that takes a lot of work. I’m envious of southern vehicles.
