173k. No crack knock on wood. I'm not going to worry about it just like I eat all the steaks and eggs I want. I'll deal w/ it when if I come to that road.

the "Black Stallion" has 228K on it and hasn't cracked. We don't hardly tow anything with it and the sticks have been for about 8 months but so far so good.

At 42,000 miles I discovered that I was using coolant on a trip from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico to Ft Lauderdale Florida. A stop at a Dodge dealer in Houston Texas confirmed that the block was cracked. The block was replaced by Dodge in FT. Lauderdale under warrantee.
