I guess I'm still a baby... I'm about to turn 94,000 on my '05.

I said when I bought the truck new that if I get 100K out of it I'll feel like I got my money's worth for the vehicle. I'm anticipating well over that, and I plan on still keeping it for every one of those miles. I don't take it off-road any more (not really many places to do so here, anyway), so it's not getting abused the way it used to. Now my focus is just keeping the maintenance up and letting it live out its life in comfort.

Damn, I love this truck...

 

2003, 5.7, 131k

 

146,000 2007 Ram

 

I have 213'000 on my hemi and still running great mines a 04 ram 1500 quad ab

 

I have a 2009 in the shop with 216,000 today. Radiator leaking, pitted with sand, work truck. All original drivetrain.

 

167,000, Third owner on a 2008 SWB black and chrome. I bought it 11/20104 from a local Hyundai dealer. Had been upgraded with K&N CAI, dueled with only cats no packs...
Replaced EGR solenoid, and plugs at 132k. It still had original Champions in. Put a feeler gauge to the old plugs, had gaps from .060 to 067. Praise God for HEI.

 

171,000 miles on my beast, its such a strong runner and has earned the name "Brutus" from all my friends, even the Ford boys

This is how I celebrated 160,000 miles earlier this year.

 

03 Quad Cab RWD 5.7 with around 184,000.


How long can one go if it's babied? I've had it for going on 4 years. Love it and need it to last. Anything to be aware of/stay on top of?

 

Keep the oil changed, even if it's early. Use the RIGHT oil. Good gasoline. Keep your spark plugs changed on time. Don't get surprised by a leak when it's too late.


Pretty much generic for anything I guess.

 

They love to be pounded, its what they're made for. Floor it as often as possible to negate carbon build up.
