How many miles on your HEMI?
side note i blew the rear end at 52,000. they siad the fluid i was using was crap,,, i had just done the fluid change 7000 miles before that with royal purple. i just changed it back to royal purple its its a hell of a lot smoother and quieter. watch those rears man they will go out with out warning. mine sounded like a crow bar stuck in between the gears
First time on here but had to respond. I am from Alberta and have an '03 Hemi QC Laramie 4x4 Off Road Pkg with 200,000km or about 125,000 miles on it and finally replaced my first part this week, a front hub. Did a top to bottom and found a few very minor issues that I will fix in the next month. Rack & pinion, outer tie rod endsand lower ball joints have slight play, a small drip coming from rad, silencer pads on leaf springs are worn causing squeeking and a broken exhaust stud (time for headers). I installed AFE cold air, throttle body spacer and Superchip a couple of months ago and love it.
All in all with these minor issues and this mileage I just love it. Also I use it for business and the truck usually weighs in around 7,000lbs so it deserves the few bucks I finally am going to spend.

Bought my '03 QC a week ago. Has 86K on it. The motor is strong, and he rides quiet and solid. Found some receipts that indicate the previous owner took very good care of him. The PO used synthetic, but I'll be using dead lizards every 3K.
Just about to turn 37,000 next time it goes out of the driveway on my '04 QC 4x4 bought new in June of '04. Not a single issue to date, oil changed (for free) by dealer EVERY 3,000 miles, I'm sure with Dino oil. Next oil change will be the first I'll have to do myself and I'm either going to go with Royal Purple or Amsoil depending on availability. Gears were changed at 28k miles so those fluids were changed then and again 500 miles later, so I'll re-do the rear gears in about 5-6k miles. All other fluids, filters, etc. were done by dealer at the ridiculously expensive 30,000 service along with the plugs and a throttle body cleaning.
