Common Rail High milliage

First of all sorry for posting another milliage thread. However I would love to know how they are holding up. I'm a Ford cross over from the 6.0 that I lemon lawed. I currently have 53,500 miles with not one problem. I just want to see how many trouble free miles they are getting or when I need to start looking for issues possible catching them before they happen.

I am at 60K and have not had one single mechanical problem (knock on wood )


I have had my door seals replaced with the kind that don't tear and my factory cd/stereo ate a CD and I replaced my driver door latch. That's it so far.

60 days to find out why.

How do you know when the injectors start dropping out?

I drove a 03 with 400k on it a few weeks ago. I don't know how much work might have been done to it. Fuel system seemed fine.

It must be all the weight from the tools, since yours was about the same HP and Tq as mine stock. (I think, can't remember straight right now)

Around 30K had to have #2 injector replaced took three trys to the dealership before they finally heard it knocking, they said replaced it due to leaking injector is what the invoice read, been running fine ever since. At 33K I discovered drivers side ball joint "to me" needs replacing but Dodge says it's well with in their specs. So far no issues with u-joints at 47K miles to date. I believe each beast is a little different time wise with select problems some have em some don't. You mentioned 6.0 PS, we have a 04 PS work truck with 57K on the clock and it is abused to my standards, so far it's been a good one, go figure.

My 03 just rolled over to 74 k today, no problems. Looking forward to many more miles. I should be close to 100k by the end of this year.

No way - I was definitely low man on the totem pole in Era... for some reason the CTD doesn't have much get up & go under 15 psi!
