190K 2002 5.9L rebuilt eng because the oil and water pumps went out
Before its tenth bday. Best vehicle I ever had

 

I agree...Best ever. 3rd dodge truck and I will never switch

 

My mistake it was 675,000 miles when he made the post but that was back in 2010 so maybe he has it that 700k miles mark by now.

Dodge Ram 1500 came a long way from its sister trucks from the 80's and 90's yes they have problems and yes it cost to get it fixed. my 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 has 675,000 miles on it, the only trouble I have had is brakes steering water pump tires I drive a average of 780 aday in my truck and I love it

I'll call BS on this guy. in order to drive 780mi a day he would have to drive 12hrs straight at 65mph, every day. That doesn't take into account gas, food, restroom breaks.

 

i am almost betting the guy means km's and said miles. my dad does the same thing.

 

Still have, probably always will have. My plans are to make my coffin out of it.

 

Wouldnt that be cool, to be buried in the truck that basically acted as mans best friend since purchase. We all have issues, but if fixed, instead of giving up on it, it always pays back 10x. I dont think most people know what they put their trucks through.

I just know my beautifull Flame Red Ram has done more for me than I could ever do back.

It has impressed me since day one and does everytime I start it and let it talk to me. Moving from a Dakota, I remember the first time I hit WOT on a back road and almost hit a guard rail. I learned real quick that that power it to be respected and the size, demeaner, and overall attitude of my truck commands respect.

It has saved my life, saved my families life, and probably saved the lives of many who would have pulled out in front of me, but heard the exhaust, seen the many front lights, or seen the bright color. It has given me many delights (some not so, especially when troubleshooting, but I have learned that troubleshooting gets easier with age/wisdom and it is not the trucks fault that I cant figure it out). It has pulled out of ditches 26 other vehicles (I have notch marks on the front 1/2" lip of the cup holder. I only needed assistance 1 time and it was all my fault (3' snow drift, 40 yards long and I was on the frame with all 4 wheels spinning slowly, it was still trying - I made it over 80% of the way, before getting stuck).

This is the same pit and after I pulled my coworker out, I tried it at 30 mph and still couldnt make it. My coworker has stars in his eyes from Toyota, he cannot be dissuaded, but I did free him from his near final resting place.



I did almost get stuck yesterday, sig pic is from then. Rough mud road, but I did it all for work - Meaning I got paid to mud. I love it.

I still get compliments atleast every other day....."nice truck, Man!" It has graced the dirt of 38 states and left its tracks at each one. I would be buried in it. I would rot away before it did, of that I am sure.

 

I just turned 125k on my 07 ,I bought my truck with6 miles , my question is how many miles do people have on the when they've modded and are hot rodding

 

At 180,000 I got the engine rebuilt with a hotter cam. I'm getting an Auburn posi put in within the month. Next will be a CAI and a superchips programmer. Then it will be time for a custom exhaust. right now it has 190,000mi.

 

Not a hemi, but my buddies old 318 had over 466k miles on er and was still runnin strong! Just finished a trip across Canada.
