1999 Dodge Ram 2500 V10 Quad Cab with Automatic Transmission. 331,000 miles. The a/c compressor burned out at one point, there is a leak in the evaporator, the alternator has gone several times (the first time being at around 300,000 if I'm not mistaken), Cracked plastic radiator housing, couple of blown freeze plugs, Today I found that the differential is leaking at the pinion seal and one of the axles. Just ordered parts to change the original ball joints. Transmission was rebuilt at 220,000 miles. The catalytic converters seem to have chronic leakage. It also needed a new water pump at one point and a power steering hose burst once. The engine has really never been touched except to change the oil and spark plugs, though now it does go through oil much quicker. Overall this truck has treated me well and my father before me and its earned the right to have the problems its had and then some!

50,815 original miles. STILL has the factory extended warranty. Had a power steering pump and transfer case replaced this year. Warranty ends march 2011 or 98,998 miles. i doubt I will bust mileage by then.
I bought the truck with 41,250 miles on it in 2008. Most of the miles were from when i moved from Cali to Arkansas. Other than that, I don't really drive her much.

96 1500 stretch cab short box 5.2 5 speed. 150k had it for about 3 years and 35k. replaced the track bar within a year. next the rear pinion bearing exploded (replaced everything in the rear end just so i wouldnt have to take it apart again) and about 3000 miles ago had to replace the belhousing. the top half nearly broke completely off. i guess im lucky the center broke out of the clutch and stopped me from driving it. i had been babying it for about a year and much longer i think the tranny would have just dropped out of it lol.

1996 Dodge Ram 1500 5.9l v8 gas 2wd longbed club cab 210,000 miles. bought it like 3 months ago and about a month ago it started shaking real hard when I started it up so i replaced the motor mounts, spark plugs, and pvc valve. but still has a rough idle plus knocking and ticking. Looking at getting it overhauled would do it my self but dont have the tools just hope it dont cost me to much to get it running right.
