Re:How many miles on your truck???
11 months 90K.I haul horses all over the country,all terrains,all weather,paved roads mostly,pull gn trailer,loaded between 7 and 8k. 3500,SRW,HO,six shooter,3:73,4x4,stil have 50% brake pads,about ready for new set of 265/70/17 michelins,rotate every oil change,7500 mi,change fuel filter 15000 mi other than that the alternater bracket was replaced and computer flashed.I meet lots of horse haulers with 300/400K on their cummins,but most say they went thru a few tranny's. Automatics.I recently pulled into a farm in Ohioand the owner ask how I liked the new dodge,said he guessed it was time to trade his dodge diesel had 650,000 miles but really wasn't givng him any trouble.lol

Re:How many miles on your truck???
I've had mine four years this past Aug 21. Just turned 120,000 this week. Not a work truck and don't haul very heavy very often. It's been to California once and to Colorado six times. The rest have just been miles and miles of great driving! ;D ;D
I've had some 15 or so new trucks, all Fords and Chevys, so this is my first Dodge and my first diesel. I never before kept one for over three years or about 70k miles. My daughter still driving a 1995 Z71 I bought new and it's pushing 170K. It's been a good truck...but it's not a Cummins. What was I thinking all those years? ??? This Dodge is the best truck I've ever had!
Rear wheel seal at about 70K (still in warrenty). Batteries and brake pads at about 90K. Last week was the worst so far...master cylinder. :-[ The clutch doesn't slip, but I figure that will probably be my next expense.
Now the good news! Tomorrow, Chace from WTTD is installing an EDGE EZ and gauges. ;D ;D ;D I don't plan on starting the BOMB CRAZE, but...........you just- never- know.
These young guys talk about being short of money.....just wait until they retire and they'll find out what really short is!
THE CUMMINS POWERED DODGE......BEST TRUCK GOING...AND GOING...AND GOING!
