We have 165,000 on our 99 U270, and it's still going strong. We anticipate needing in-frame maintenance at 500,000-700,000 if we are still going strong...

Funny, first valve adjustment (for "break in period") on my ISM is @ 120,000 miles, still 12,000 miles in the future after 15 years on the road

Tim - consider having it done next time you can get to Bernd's. We had Bo/Beau do ours last month at 87K and 13 years on the road. There was some "adjustment opportunity" on both intake and exhaust valves, but he found several injectors were way out. It also gave them a good chance to put an eye on everything. We were very pleased with their work.

I am going to do air bags, fuel lines and valve adjustment next trip (fall)
