Wow.. some of ya'll have pretty low mileage for 15-8 year old vehicles.
Mine's at 163XXX, 6K of which is mine starting in late May.
My family puts a lot of miles on our cars, usually over 100K in just a couple of years.
As far as I know and can tell, my truck has had no major work and most components are original.
I have only replaced the alternator, battery, evap canister hose, and two inches of vacuum line on the MAP sensor.

95 1500 318 with a little over 185,000
original tranny still going strong
gas and oil gauge...i bet a lot of people have had one of them
broken ball joint that was fixed (lower right front tire)
inner tie rod end is loose and needs to be replaced
radiator leaks a little from time to time and might need to be replaced
no wonder Chryslers going bankrupt, THEY BUILT THESE THINGS TO LAST!
btw my shifter wont go down to 1st...is that normal?
