200,000 miles club members.

 

230,000 miles give or take 1000 (damn speedo is off).

I think the transmission is a replacement. Rear end makes a bit of noise, motor is about to let go at any time.

Properly maintained (read: if they had dealt with the plenum and cat) my motor could have lived longer.

 

How many miles do you have on your truck?

 

I should have been more clear. Somewhere around the 200,000 mile mark it started to burn oil. It is still his every day driver and we stopped counting on blowing up. my brother and I have the good parts on his truck spoken for if the dumb thing ever quits.

 

most of my buddies have 2nd gen rams and they love them to death. My friend bobs got his 96 1500 and has 258,xxx and he uses it for work and drives from connecticut to maine twice a year with it lol

 

OK... so whats your mileage?
mines at almost 150,000.... it had 139,000 when I bought it and SINCE then the rearend bearings had to be replaced along with clutchpack for LSD, the transmission died (being rebuilt now with new torque converter and OD unit ), I've replaced the steering shaft and added aftermarket braces to help with slop, track bar and steering stabilizer were shot and needed replacement along with a wheel bearing, thermostat stuck, softplug between tranny and engine developed a leak, brake line needed replacement, electrical random short wore down the battery which had to be replaced, The exhaust developed a hole which has been patched and awaiting replacement....
hmm oh yeah cap and rotor (and a new zip tie to hold cap in place since the PO broke the screw off in the distributor.... the rest was cosmetic work....
But she does run like a champ and doesnt really burn any oil! and the transfer case was replaced along with the tires and rims right before I bought it...
I realize this is probably not the norm but its what I dealt with none the less...
BTW tranny shop told me Chrysler transmissions havent changed much over the years and have always been the most common ones they see in the shop needing rebuild. This of course was just the owners opinion but he said they are terribly unreliable compared to other makes.

 

I got 134,000ish miles. Had 102,000 when I bought it 14 months ago.

 

Well it had 111,111 in my post yesterday, so today it should have 111,161.

I bought it with 96,000 miles.

 

bought my ram in nov 2008 with 90k on the clock and today a little over3 years later i got 165k.

new tranny and i'm on my 3rd rear end(junky Dana 60 )
