Gary, that's a tough decision. If only the crystal ball worked!
At that many miles, even though it still runs great, there has to come a time when things are going to start breaking.
Then what? Invest in a string of major repairs?
We like to think "Fix the engine, drive another 200,000..." It never works that way. Next thing you know, you have $4000 invested in a $2000 truck that you can't trust to take out of town.
At least that has been my experience...
I recently sold my old 01 Silverado. I loved that truck, if I could buy another new one exactly like it, I would in a second!
But had to face reality, at 260,000 things were going wrong. Leaking steering, ABS problems, electronic glitches... I just couldn't trust it any more, didn't want to get into the money pit syndrome, so I sold it, got a newer truck.
It's not perfect, but at 40,000 miles I can pretty much count on it to get me there and back, peace of mind is worth something!

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
