I've got 126kmi on my Stratus? It's my beater car...lol
Bought it from the auction with 102kmi 2 years ago for $585 including the hammer fee and have only put 2 front tires on it since! The car was super clean one owner when I picked it up. 4cyl 5spd gets me 33mpg mixed.

My Lexus and old van are 100k club but not part of dodge but soon i will be in 100k club...

The old van still running strong and has over 146k miles on original tranny and engine and everything. Just brakes and tires replaced with routine maintenance.

I think that my fathers car has around 102,xxx miles on it and never had a problem.

I have a friend with a 95 1500 with a 5.9. It has 430,000 miles on it. Same drive train, engine trans rear end. He's put a radiator and a water pump on and some other small stuff. He changes the oil every 3k miles and the trans and rear end fluids when recommended. Keep up the maintenance and you shouldn't have any problems for awhile.

Funny thing about my 2004 1500, 4.7. I bought this truck as a throw away. I was going to drive it 100k and give it to my son. I did the Ground Effects 2/4 lowering kit so I can work out of the bed easier.
My last experience with a Chrysler product was a 1990 Van. It was a total piece, eating up trannys and tps. I sold it at 69K miles and 3 transmission rebuilds.
I got a great deal on my 1500 truck at the end of the 04 model year. I have 167,000 miles on it and it's been the best vehicle I've ever owned. I've replaced the tires twice and brakes a few times. That's it. Original engine, trans, plugs and wires. I probably need to replace a ball joint soon as I hear a little clunk lately. I am so impressed with this truck I plan on driving it another 3-5 years. It has Japanese reliability and quality.
One more thing I added was the Air Lift rear air shock system with on board compressor. I do this mod on all my vehicles.
