I guess "miles" fly when you're having fun!! Well, not much fun with the work part, but I could be making those miles in a much worse vehicle.
On my way to 500k.

Good gosh.....and I thought that my 3-4K miles per month were a lot. What repairs have you had along the way?

I have posted my repairs before but to summarize the major stuff:
2 tranny governor pressure switches replaced, tranny rebuilt & new TC, 4 front hubs replaced -2 on each side, 1 driveshaft & 2nd set of driveshaft u-joints replaced, rear rebuilt from outer bearings in, clogged kitty cat & muffler replaced which had blown out 3 exhaust gaskets & cracked the exhaust manifold before I could get home, throttle position sensor replaced. Front Infinity speakers replaced - RF cracked
Last year was the most expensive concerning repairs - from 200k to 300k. As you can see most repairs had to do with the Dodge wrapper. Pretty happy with the power plant - good fuel mileage & strong stock power. Gettin' better with age. Oil, oil filter, air filter & fuel filter changed every 10k.

Ok, after reading that you just convinced me (quite easily I might add) to go ahead and get the cat test pipe.

Sweet!! I love reading about high mileage CTD's. Only reason that I got one was so that I could actually drive the truck for more than 3 years. I drive between 800 and 1000 miles per week for my job and gassers weren't holding up long enough for me to pay the note down. Not a problem now. Gotta love my CTD.
