Default How many miles on your HEMI?

I know the HEMI engine is good but just wondering how many miles the engine can take before seeing the end of it's life expectancy? What are people at with mile on their HEMI? I've got 36,000km / 22,370 mile on mine already. I know it all depends on how good your mainteance is but just looking for a general number if your doing regular oil changes.

Just turned 23,000. And you are right, regular maintance and fixing problems before they total your engine is a good way to making it last a long time. I have a 91 Wrangler with a 2.5L (I am currently doing an engine swap with a total frame up rebuild) and when my dad owned it, maintance was something done as an afterthought... but there are 280,000 miles on that engine with no rebuilds.I hope to get more then that with the ole Hemi.

67,000 miles on the oddometer but........... I think I have had somebody "clock" the mileage before I bought her as Carfax showed a missing 10,000 miles.
But hey....she runs real strong and the last 16,000 have been almost exclusively run on LPG gas.

48,000 miles on my 04 QC Off-Road Hemi. Only problem so far is an EGR valve that had to be replaced. I've run 98% of those miles using 87 octane and using conventional motor oil every 3-5000 miles. Replaced spark plugs/wires with OEM at 45k, as well as AT fluid and front/rear diff's.
