Amen to that! My 1995 V6 extended cab has 222,346. Just changed the oil last week with 0 issues. Just turn the key & go. Most reliable vehicle I have ever owned.

I have 187,000 on my '97 4x4. Just had to replace the tranny, it finally gave up the ghost.

Ive got a 98 sport extended cab with 177,000 miles on it and she runs just fine everyday. Just had to replace the oil pressure switch in it though.

I have a 99' extended cab 4x4, bought it with 123,000 in 2005 and now it has almost 198,000. Replaced both the cv axles about 2 years ago, water pump, rear third member in the axle, and had my transfer case literally rip its self in half this last spring while going 70mph down the freeway, not a fun experience at all. Original trany with slight bit of slip maybe, and doesn't drop a bit of oil. Only burns a bit on start up then clears up. Putting a 5.2 in it as soon as my dad finishes his 5.9 for his ram. But it still runs strong, pulls anywhere from 2-3 snowmobiles in the winter and two atv's in the summer

97 SLT 4 x 4 5.2 V-8, 206,500.
Transfer case re-built at 120,00 due to stupid mechanic at AAMCO. They picked up the bill for that. Just had a trans and torque converter re-done. I think I can get another 100,000 out of it before and new engine goes in. Runs Great

Mine just hit 200k last week. I've had no major problems, but hardly anything is original.
