I haven't picked on my 95 too much, grossed 30K hauling hay a couple of times. But the steel shop I used to work at had a 91, 93 and a 98. Grossed 32K almost everyday and all made it long past 300,000 miles with no engine problems. That is why I bought mine.

Paying the bills by towing anywhere from 3500 to 13,500 bumper pull dump trailer. On weekends, (whenever that happens) I tow a 7000# TT. That 7000 weight includes a few cases of beer and some nice prime rib for the BBQ...

Not a 2500, but my 3500 grosses 30k+ regularly w/a 40' float. Recently grossed 32,420 (CAT certified scale) for 2 days and just over 1,000 miles. It was a very very long weekend but the truck pulled like a champ.
