What die in Wyoming ? How picking exotic mushrooms. Man I got 89500 miles on my truck and I never had a vehicle this long. All maintenence is performed on a regular maintenence interval from Trans to diffs to transfer cases to rotation to alignment to Mobil 1 oil changes.
Truck looks like new and runs like new. Then of course 89,500 is not all that much these days. Back to getting stuck in Wyoming......Man you don't want any part of a breakdown in Essex county people are kindly here, they will help you remove the tires and rims although they don't tend to bring them back.

You guys would die if you had to drive and work on your own truck anyplace rural.dont move to wyoming... any truck needs work on a regular basis. I put 25,000 miles a year, easily on any truck, of course some things will wear out. If the engine knocks, however, I would figure out why, and fix it, not keep running it till I was stranded 100 miles from the nearest town on a high mountain road. But that is just me... I dont drive till it blows, I do real maintenance on my truck, and when I am way out in the back country, I am confident I will get home...

Main one yea..
Hemi KNOCK, wouldnt exactly call it a tick. Fu>ker knocks. Started ticking at 400miles and got louder and louder. I have lifetime waranty so I'll run it till I sell it or until there's a problem. No way I'm letting a mechanic tear apart a bone dry engine to replace the exhaust valves. I'll prob have nothing but problems after.
My Rack is leaking at the bellow
It shimmy's terribly every now and again on the highway. I think it's tierod(rack) related
Had a bad Cluster
Stock battery only lasted 3yrs
bumpers are rusting a fairly good amount on the backside(truck has been washed everytime it touched salty roads..yes I spray under and behind bumpers. Not a spec of rust anywhere else)
Just typical Dodge Ram issue's. I never had my hopes set high for this truck. It was the cheapest truck pricewise and proves to be so quality wise as well. I'm just glad I use it sparingly. It's still the sharpest truck for the year and I still like it over other brands. I haven't been let down because my hopes were never super high..lol
