For those of you who have 200,000 or more miles, what general maintenance items have you had to replace. Mine has already had 2 sets of balljoints (needs new ones already 10,000miles later) a lift pump, rear main seal, rear door wiring harness, window control unit, and now my transfer case control module is out. I bought this truck two years ago with 43,000 miles thinking it would last me 10 years but, it seems I'm in the shop every few months. I am really worried that I'm due something big like injectors, turbo or a tranny. So, what did you have to fix on your way to 200,000?

 

I'm at 183,000 and the only thing I have done is a lift pump @ 63,000 and a u-joint on the left front axle.

 

im at 554,000 here is what i have done to mine so far..

014k F.A.S.S.
127k Plantdrive Veggie Kit w/extra mods
128k alternator
188k starter

Storx I'd say that is pretty durable.All repairs are pretty much wear items.

145k FASS HPFP
150kish Ball joints
162k u-joints
167k altenator, APPS

189k resealed injectors

and 5 ( YES 5!) FCMs along the way.

 

haha not that its funny u had all that happen to you.. it just reminded me of my old 2000 24valve...

In the 3 years i owned it...
I put.....
5x Liftpumps
4x vp44's
3x rebuilt the Autotrans..
1x torque converter

then i came across F.A.S.S and i been using them ever since... never had another fuel issue after i switched...

then when i was getting a new truck i bought the 6 speed G56 version because i never wanted to drive a dodge autotrands again.. nothing but headaches..

 

Yeah it was a tough 25k for that truck and it was all within a 6 month span so it was a tough time for my checking account. Really I must say the 48re is much tougher than I thought it was going to be, 176k miles getting pretty beat up is much better than the 100k at a time we could get out of our E4ODs and 4R100 in my family's fords.

 

my 2500 4X4 LB 5.9L has 106K, and already been thru a set of BJs , under warranty
auto trans has been serviced 3x, but now, according to others on this site, I apparently may need the GPS,and associated transducer replaced in the trans.Plus,I found one of the batteries to be "bad" today, so in went 2 new Interstate batts @$215. Anyone have a suggestion for an upgrade on the BJs? It hasn't been 15K since the dealer replaced them, but I definately have similar issues again ... I tow, but never overload the truck. Mostly mid Atlantic area, not too much mountains. The truck is mostly stock with an intake set-up, and the cat removed. I use Amsoil. And love Iron Maiden ...

My truck has just been fantastic. It will be a sad day if and when I have to part with her. It even came through getting freight-trained in the rear by two semis. I have 252K on it and just came back from a 3000 mile trip to Canada. She is running and driving like "Mighty-Whitey" did when I brought her home new, maybe better!
