Default Mileage thread

There was a thread on here looking at mileage. I can't find it now. Here's a photo of my 2001 Dodge Durango R/T. It turned 466,000 miles on Tuesday. Original engine. Hoping to get 500,000 out of it. By then both my kids will be out of college and I can afford a car payment again! Lol

Very impressive.

I hope my 03 4.7 makes it that long. I am a little of 1/3 the way to where you are. Just rolled 168K yesterday.

What are the secrets your "success"?

If it isn't broke, why fix it?

Exactly. One of my dads best friends just turned 520k on his 99 suburban. He won't get rid of it, he wants to see what fails if it ever does.. Hold on to that durango, 460k is very impressive, see how far she goes cause you obviously got a winner.

Bullet proof 5.9L motor. Same for the 5.2L as well but it's a proven motor and when taken care of will last.

That's also 466,000 miles of driver seat butt time. I've only got 102,000 mi and would like to swap out the padding. Did you do anything with the seat over the years?

My uncle still has my grandpa's 1982 D100 that is now in the high 500,000 or low 600,000 mile range. My grandpa gave it to him when he bought his 94 ram. Grandpa has said many times that he will break before the truck does.

Goes to show what a little love and proper maintenance does.
