My Ram is an '04, and still on originals. I'm still running original brakes, ball joints, exhaust system and tires. About all I've done to my truck in 80,000 miles is change the oil and filter, trans oil and filter, air and fuel filters, and rear axle lube.

I replaced mine about 2 months ago with 155,000 on the clock. I never saw it coming. The truck sat for almost two months and started right up, drove it for about 30 miles. And they never started again...

Still on my originals, but the truck spent the first half of its life in Texas, so they probably didn't get worked as hard as they do up here in Pennsylvania now that I have it.

I was thinking I was doing pretty good with my originals.
I was sure I'd have to replace them sometime this past winter, they started cranking a little slow, but must have found a second wind or something, back to cranking like new.

wow maybe we should start a "whos got the oldest betteries" thread.... Mine are punched out dated 'Oct 99'.
They are just now starting to crank slower....
thats why I did a battery search. Like whats his name said- hope this doesn't jinx it

I'm not sure.
I have allways thought that I have still my original batterys. My truck is built 3/1998 . My batterys are yellow with some black on tops.
