200k miles
It's official, my '03 2500 has made it to 200,000 miles! As a reward for it's great service I'm starting to make it a full time plaything. I'm also rebuilding some problem areas. I just put a 5" Rough Country lift in it, all new steering and ball joints, 315/70/17 Goodyear Duratracs( it's still going to plow), a new front driveshaft and an oil pan(rusted out). Next up is a front seat(junk) and an A/C clutch( I can hear it getting ready to quit). The old girl is starting to rust, so maybe next spring some rear 1/4 patch panels and front fenders, or maybe I'll just reshape them in the woods
I love this truck! I've never been so hard on a truck and spent so little for so long to keep it going. It's hauled, plowed, towed, four wheeled and done all that has been asked of it since October of '03. It still even has the original clutch in it. I used to trade trucks every other year, this one I'm keeping until it is completely used up. It has had a few issues, but I've never been left on foot. A big thanks to Dodge for building a solid product, albeit with a few cheap stock parts.

nice...thats good to hear that it lasted that long. I am hoping my truck will last till 200k, I'm at 120k right now and still running strong. Only replaced the front hub on both sides so far. Pretty damn good so far. I am gonna get a new truck when I finally reach 200k and turn this into my hunting and fishing truck.
