I'm just behind you at 53,400 on my '04 Ram. Not a hint of a mayor issue out of mine either (or a major issue for that matter, LOL). A broken stock shock way back when the thing was a couple of months old is the only warranty item it was ever in for. I've had a few minor glitches that needed work-arounds with some of my moddin', but that's entirely to be expected...

That's young, not old. I'm way behind you though. Hope there's plenty more trouble free years ahead for you.

131k miles here .... no major problems. Swapped out the front suspension a few parts at a time trying to be proactive against future problems.

Finally someone talking up how good these trucks can be. Ban the negative. I love my truck. Almost at 80k.
