It's only going to take you 24 more years at that rate. I've already got 115k on mine. Just getting broke in.

DTE that's great that's starting to get into the "real" mileage.

You don't mind nearly so much spending 40K on a truck if you are going to get those kinds of miles out of it.

Please give us a list of problems and repairs you have made so far. Have you owned since new?

I just bought mine 6 weeks ago 2002, H.O. 6spd. with 18.5K mi. for $17.5. A deal I couldn't refuse. I figured if I didn't like it, I could sell it and make money easily. After the first week of driving it I had no problem deciding to put the ole 99 Powerstroke Ford up for sale instead. This Dodge is an AWESOME machine. I can't really complain about the Ford. It gave me 250K mi. of faithfull service with the typical problems that everyone has. We will see how this one performs in the long run.
