246,200K on 1999 2wd Ram1500 Sport; almost all original
My 1999 Ram 5.9L 2wd Sport Quad Cab has 246K+ and is running strong. All original, except 2nd waterpump (1st was cheap & lasted 1yr), 2nd cap/rotor/wires, 4th sparkplugs. No engine or transmission work done.
I do lots of short distance towing at work with boats up to 8500 lbs, lots of 1000+ mile towing with pontoon boats.
Probably need to do the plenum gasket soon so I can wean this Ram off of the high octane gas!
Gutted cat, Raven (Midas) muffler so it sounds pretty nice thru the stock exhaust system.

Reason: updated miles
I got 45K miles to go. But I feel confident that the gasser in my truck will last with proper maintenance. Good to see people with high mailage trucks on the road.
