Default 170K miles on original Hemi/trans - how many more miles?

I bought my 2004 G2 Durango Limited in 2006 w/33K miles. Knock on wood, the ride has been trouble free. Just curious, how many miles do others have on their original non-rebuilt engine and transmission?

I had my transmission rebuilt at 60,000 miles, but my engine is probably to blame on the early failure.

I'm at 110,000 on original engine/transmission. It is good to hear someone with a success story rather than what I usually hear about the 04 Hemi. Gives me some hope anyway.

If you maintain the vehicle, it will last a long time. I seen a diesel ram truck today with 850,000 miles. I don't know if it the original motor, i didn't a chance to talk to the owner.

I had a customer who does his main religiously, 3-5k conventional oil change, trans and 4X4 service every 50-60k. He had 280k miles on his 2008 Chrysler Aspen (aka Durango with Leather package), original motor, trans, and 4x4 system..

Unfortunately, he crashed it last month, Insurance co totaled it due to it's high mileage.
