2005 2500, 104K+----axle seals, driveline seals, rear u-joints w/ fronts soon.

Everything else still running great, and yes I do use all of the 345 hp occasionally.

2007 1500 with 20,318 with no major issues. just a squeak that sounds like it comes from the front of the engine when i turn the engine off. already took it to the dealer and they couldn't figure out what the problem is

2004, 4.7L with 69,128 miles.
Whats considered major repairs lol?
New water pump, radiator x 2, ABS control module, Idle air control valve, ABS wheel speed sensor x 2, new radio and new tweeters because they blew, all new hoses all of them seem to developed pinhole sized leaks, new serpentine belt, new thermostat, new rack and pinion and she is starting to burn oil so I am thinking maybe new headgaskets will fix that. I baby her untill she reaches the open interstate or highway then I open her up.

I used to change the oil every 3k along with the air filter. Changed tranny fluid and filter change every 30k. I also changed rear diff fluid twice. Thank goodness I havent had the dreaded rear diff blow up. The 1k I paid for the extended warranty saved me about 3k in parts and labor.

Smile how many miles on your ram??

2006 1500 4x4: 33,250 miles. Bought used two years ago with about 11,000 on it. Major repairs: Front Axle Actuator (4x4) and blown right front shock - both replaced under warranty.

Oil changes every 3,000 miles (straight Dino!). Have changed front and rear Diff's plus Transfer Case twice; most recently at 30,000 miles. Also flushed Transmission at 30,000.

Since adding K&N CAI, Flowmaster and 3" exhaust and tuner, yea I tend to get on it a little. Hey, at age 58 - I grew up in the muscle car era. Hell my first car was a 1974 360 'Cuda complete with the pistol grip shifter! (sure wish I still had that baby!!)

I don't beat my truck, I couldn't afford the repairs for one thing. However, I was stuck in the snow about a month ago up behind Mt Hood, for about 3-1/2 hours and I generated a lot of smoke from the rear end trying to get out of there. I have the factory LSD and no issues, so far even from that little episode. Once I calmed down, aired the tires down a little more, she walked (backwards of course) right out of the mess and I was on my way.

07 Ram Quad Cab. 17500. had her two years this month(6/30). Running royal purple in the motor will upgrade rest when the time comes. Had front shocks replaced under warranty, replaced when they started to leak-never felt any issue. New tires next year. Full sound system replacement. Maybe a shell too. oh and until i get an after market exhaust, a drop in k&n.
