How many miles do you have on your truck!
I just bought my 2001 Dodge Ram, and it had 149,583 miles on it when I bought it. I've put on about 100 miles since then. It still looks and drives great. The old owner had retired shortly after buying it, and didn't put a lot of miles on it. He is in his seventies and said it was just "too much truck".

I'm still driving my 1996 (secondary vehicle) she's started rusting a lot more in the last year and the 4wd quit working when I needed it this hunting season but she's got 153,000 and change on the odometer now and still runs like top after dumping a few grand in repairs into her about 5 years ago for a transmission rebuild, Exhaust, header and some bad sensors.
I'm happy with the truck.

No issues and just hit 150,000 on the money. Have replaced some minor components. A couple O2 sensors, thermostat (had original from 16 years ago), power door lock that had spun motor, 2 window regulator rollers, transmission shift cable, power steering sensor, and a tail light cover assy someone knocked a hole in. Nothing crazy big. But I upkeep all the maintenance mostly by myself.
Ive owned my 1997 Ram 2500 3/4 ton with the 5.9 magnum for 4 almost 5 years now (bought her as my first vehicle when i was in highschool) but shes my baby and my project. At the moment i have 185,000 miles on her.
So far only minor things and standard common repairs such as the plenium gasket and installing the rock solid ram steering kit plus a new gearbox and power steering pump, air i take valve, front and rear axel seals, rear u joint, new muffler system, tailgate, re wired to fog lights, the speakers, faulty wiring the previous owner screwed up big time, and a few interior fixes.
Been a great truck and a baby for life!
