The problem is, trucks in the purest sense are supposed to be designed for businesses (like the one Hoovie described owned before he bought it) to do truck-type stuff. When a company like that oil parts supply company buys a truck like this, they're buying a tool for their business that they're relying on for it to do work, work correctly, do what it's designed to do, and do it reliably. Until the last 20 years, most American-made trucks did that. They did that because the companies understood, that's what people buy trucks for. Today, they have lost their way. Forget that you can get a truck for $100k with heated/massaging seats and quad-zone climate control, even the "base trucks" have overcomplicated engine designs for emissions and fuel economy. Back then, truck were exempt from meeting the automobile regulations. So they built them to be reliable. You can't have reliable and computer controlled - you pick, one or the other.

When I worked with a utility company there was a boom truck with an International engine with a million hours on it. They idle a LOT but it had lower miles than that. The mechanic said he changed only a water pump and an injector set. Clean oil, fuel, and air and a diesel will work a VERY VERY long time.

[@slipperymoss620]

1 mill hours is 114+ years nice try buddy.

[@Oonagh72]

Those work vehicles make the world go ‘round. To be real. If you have everything sorted on that truck and it can haul like you need it too, 17k isn’t that bad of an investment. You couldn’t get a comparable truck for 17k most likely.

[@richsweeney1115]

You can get another used diesel with a lot less miles for 17k....

[@2vcrew782]

I have a 03 Mustang GT manual car that I absolutely love daily driving and it has around 139,000 on it. I had a 02 GT before and it had 275,000 on it original motor and 5 speed transmission with the second clutch. I was super proud of that car and had every intention on driving it to 500,000 miles until a sleeping driver drove into the back of it at a red light.

[@spacdaddydoug6582]

Tyler appreciate all the work to get this to 1,000,000 miles!

A few years ago, I turned over 2 mil in a Kenworth powered by CAT. Original block, heads.

Al Bundy got a Viper for his million mile Dodge... Well, he almost did.

[@paulgould2242]

At the current price for diesel this truck has had over $400,000 in just fuel put into it. Quite mind-blowing

[@muskokamike127]

10:50 "no they're not good for the environment" yeah, they actually are. A vehicle that can be driven for 20+ years is far more efficient than one that lasts 10. People don't realize that half the pollution a vehicle produces is done during manufacture. It's even longer with EVs (I think it is like 60% or 70%)....more pollution is produced during manufacture but less during operation. Don't let the fanboys fool you: EVs are NOT "good for the environment".

[@was920]

They have to give you an offer, however they have rules on year and mileage that sends cars like that straight to auction, so they give you a super low quote since they wont sell it to a customer.

[@ricatiman]

Only a car guy like Hoovie can speak about getting serviced at "my tow truck driver's mechanic". I have never been on a first name basis with a tow truck operator. That's why we tune in... So entertaining!

[@ShadovvWolf2012]

A friend just lost his pick up truck, he was broadsided by a transport and he is still in the hospital at age 81 torn liver and badly brusesed lungs he is holding on and in good spirits

[@dhinds5927]

Don't be sad, Hoovie. We care!!!

[@I-Libertine]

Tyler (at the dealership) has got the looks and the charm to be the next Hoovies celebrity/spinoff!

[@rd4660]

Note to self: Clean the windows before I film a new episode.

[@SeptemberWhite]

That's okay that thing's built better and has seen more than any modern truck will ever see or do.

[@MrBillsfishin]

Pretty cool barrier to hit that many miles on the original engine. Rough to see the Blazer and maybe that Miata in the sales line knowing it is probably one of the best low mileage ones around.

[@toysoldier46552]

I'd love to see Ford's Triton engine get near that amount of miles lmao.

[@MrBillsfishin]

@@toysoldier46552 if your a Ford fan 1 million is break in miles.. lol

[@dmaxlife2785]

I build the Duramax diesel for GM and it’s a common occurrence for a million mile truck for our engine.

[@carculturenation2166]

wizard not a diesel guy but yet worked on 1000s of military diesel humvees tanks etc while he was in the army. He just didnt want to touch that thing cuz its a ram lol

[@tomtheplummer7322]

Wiz just changed tires and brakes😏

[@johnhull6363]

Hates those shipping crates wrapped around a Cummins

[@paulwoodman5131]

That truck's very efficient That truck's very good for the environment. A million miles, instead of five trucks only bought one. All those miles to keep the oil wells going. That way it's self supporting.

[@CarCrazy12804]

Great video! Congrats on making it to 1 million miles!!! What happened to your 2 classic porsches?

[@agcacustoms2852]

If I remember correctly they're being rebuilt and restored since they've appreciated so much that its best to have a stock one with upgrades than a modded one.

[@StreetPreacherr]

Right, but HOW MANY miles did TYLER actually put on the clock? I ASSUME that Hoovie didn't log the ENTIRE MILLION Miles! lol

[@jakereal3604]

My 1997 Lincoln has 343,000 miles original engine untouched aside from one starter , one water pump and an Alternator and naturally the coils. Internals are original and still runs quiet n smooth. The car is on second transmission. Original lasted till 265,000 ! I’ll bet any new Lincoln will never see this!!

[@GonzaloP007]

You make me laugh so much. You are a genius. We need this in these times... 🎉

[@martyisokay]

I have a 2008 version of that truck and it has about 255k miles on it. It's a great truck and great to have around my little farm. However, there's a lot of maintenance involved to keep it 100%,

[@Man_in_a_Gucci_Suit]

What all have you had break on it?

[@TheRealWormsGarage]

I could use that truck for my channel

[@ilovecds9606]

Keep the truck, every house needs one and you can't beat a recently repaired one with with a million miles of patina

[@chevymontmarlo]

I hope you don't give this up as a plow truck.

[@bobmcl2406]

Yeah, plowing is brutal on a vehicle.

[@terrallputnam7979]

Congratulations 🎉 Tyler! You made it! I mean, your Cummins 16 valve diesel Ram made it! That is totally amazing and cool!

[@mattbroussard7409]

Wait a sec this thing is extremely great for the environment! 10 lifetimes of a V6 turbo gas truck. Think of all the resources saved! And the incredible amount of environmental destruction it takes to get the materials for an EV truck! and I bet those batteries won't even last 200k! This may be the most "green" truck on the road!!

[@scottwhitmire6613]

Tyler, You know how time consuming and costly it is to Recon to the level of C/Max. Best to you Scott 🏁

[@therealwillie2024]

I'll give you 1500

[@nslouka90]

You definitely need to sell it to your friend who was going to put a plow on it, there seems to be a shortage of plows every winter and you would be doing everyone a service.

[@ethanmaccall9687]

Good ol Tyler Hoover. Thank you for the video I've watched all your videos. You are awesome and the way you have grown just being yourself. I appreciate you. Keep on keeping on.....

[@americansmark]

My Detroit DD13-powered Freightliner has 1,921,860 miles and it's only an 07. Let that average sink in. It's worn out. I had 3 plastic panels fall off the interior just today. But it still runs like new.
