Default How many miles on your 3.7L ?

Just curious who has the most. I'm guessing not me as I just rolled 7,000 on my '07. State what year, how many miles, and whether or not you have had any problems along the way.

2003 with 49250. Bought it with 34400 on it. Oil changes and tires are all the maintenance I've ever had to do. Do I wish it was a V8? Yes. Am I happy with what I have anyway? Hell yes.

06 Q-Cab 4X2 with 25000 miles Purchased New.

If you notice most of the used truck with the 3.7 purchased have low miles on them I think the old ownner trade them in for the V-8.
I just waiting to pay mine off before I do the same I dont want to lose my you know what by trading in to early.

The 3.7 so far been a good motor just undered powered for a 4999 lbs truck.

I actually was tempted to try that this weekend and mine only has 8k on it. A dealer had a Hemi with only 20k on it for 13000 which is slighty less than I paid for mine new. Problem was that it was a longbed and I would rather have a v6 shortbed than a hemi longbed. Thats the same delima I had when I bought mine because they had a new4.7 for only 700 more than mine but it was a longbed. If that truck was a short then I would have bought it instead.

The thing that kills me I ran in to anouther Dodge truck ownner with the 4.7 he gets better HWY MPG than I get and I have heard the Hemi with the MSD get about the same MPG as the 3.7 That burns my me up thinking about that I should of gotten a Hemi instead Live and learn no more small motors for me ever again.
