I have a 95 Ram with 249,000 on it. Looks great and still runs very well. I just used it to tow my GTX to the mopar nationals. A 1600 round mile trip from Minneapolis to Columbus towing more than I probably should have.

I have a 2004 3.7 manual

2015 miles

not a typo- I don't drive much, but my dad's shop used to service an '87 Dakota. Before we moved away, the truck had 277,000 miles on a 3.9L auto. Tranny had been rebuilt once, it had used a few water pumps too, but the timing chain was the origional. That's not a typo either!! :-)

I have a 2001 4x4 auto, that has just turned 277,297 miles. i have replaced the timing chain, and the fuel pump. i also replaced the starter 3 times. and then theres the average, oil,plugs,filters, etc. but i can tell a VERY big drop in power. i put most of the miles on her driving back and forth to Calf. from NC. im going to run it just to see how long it lasts. my sons truck ( same as mine) quit at 134,000. i guess its the difference in age as to how you drive it.

1992 Ext cab, auto, 2WD, 318. 160k miles
Only major problems were intake manifold gasket in 2000, and the radiator actually EXPLODED in 2003. First vehicle ever owned, had it for 5 1/2 years, driven it 70k miles, love it.

I put 217K on a '92 5.2 RC before it was killed by a woman in a T-Bird. My '01 4.7 RC manual 3:92 has 129K so far. My greatest fear is that some other idiot will pull out in front of this Dak and spoil the fun again...I don't really want an overweight GenIV to drive.

Message:
bigbluedak, you reminded me why I'm on my third radiator: mine exploded at the dealer: I left it running because I was having problems starting it. My fault: I should have cleaned the dirt-buildup off of from all those long drives through dusty West Texas. It had been getting hot on me previously. All in all, it's been a good truck--better than the naysayers predicted, esp. one little rodent-genitalia at the speedway south of Dallas about eight years ago. He offered to show me how much better his S-10 blazer was than my DAK. I didn't want any official-scrutiny from dragging his drunken butt around the parking lot.
