DCTECH,



What kind of repairs/replacement parts have these trucks had, with over 200K miles. Is there anything they are consistantly replacing, say every 50K miles, or something? I'm pretty sure of the block, has there been any common rail and/or injector issues, in the long-term?

yogibear passed 100k a long time ago I believe, I've got no idea where he's at now.

If you mean the TDR magazine 100,000 mile club it tells you how in the magazine but basically you have to send in a picture of the odometer.

Hey David, I'm setting home right now, have to pick up a mounted buffalo head for the owner of Jayco trl. Mfg. in the morning and deliver it to Middlebury In. , gotta do a little brown noseing when ya get the chance. Quite unusual cargo, but what the hey!! Pays good, and tows easy.

I thought I had pretty high mileage till I saw some of the other numbers, 158K+.

I stopped by Geno's Garage a few mo. ago to pick up some filters, and Robin gave me my 100K tag.

I haul rv's for the factories.

My dad and I, and 3 of our friends do it, we have 4 2003's and a 1999, the 99 goes thru trannies like crazy, he's had 3 in 250,000 miles but his engine is still going strong.

our freind Johns truck lost the lift pump at 65,000 miles and his auto transmission at 97,000, luckily warrenty covered both.

my dads truck lost the lift pump at 106,000 miles and u-joints at 120,000(he's at 150,000 miles now)

my trucks only problems so far have been u-joints going bad now(still need to find aftermarket ones) and my transmission will lock in 1st when warm, if I shift back to park then into drive again it works fine, (dealer couldn't figure it out) and a constant problem with these rotten Goodyear tires sidewalls falling apart.

Mine will be 17 months old tomorrow, (bought on Feb. 14, 03) now has almost 139,000 miles on it. Very few problems, still going strong, dragging a trailer everyday.
