[Camara]

My 99 has 78,000 and my sons 1993 has 123,xxx neither use any oil between changes.

 

[DoddS]

117K and I'm hoping for 100k more.

 

[Philip]

130k on my 93

 

[R-N-R]

8. 5k on my '02 ... almost embarassing in this forum... .

 

[JLEONARD]

112 K on my 91.

 

[RKohn]

My TDR 100k plate came today.

Guess I'll make a spot on the garage wall to start hangin'em, cause I don't have a front plate bracket, and it's too pretty to cover with bug guts anyway.



Thanks Robert!!!

 

[Grey Wolf]

260,000 I think it's broke in now

 

[JLEONARD]

Juuuust about!

 

[keimmmo]

I have 2 trucks. The 2001. 5 has only 34,000 miles on it. The 1992 has 310,000 miles on it and we still use it to tow big trailers between Illinois and central Mexico!!! Both trucks have been AMAZINGLY trouble free!

I really love this Ram so much, that wife and I went out Saturday and bought the second one. Now she has a 2002 CTD with 3,000 miles and all of the bells and whistles even leather. But two 3500 duallys sitting in the driveway is way cool!



Gunny

Gunny that is real cool. Does she let you drive the new one?

Pit Bull,

The way we ended up with the second dually is almost, nah! it is real funny. Joanne has for the last severeal years been a real truck person. She is an executive with a major software co. here in the valley and it is funny to me to see this little bitty petit blond pull up to her office in her 1995 Chevy 1 ton dually. Most of the folks at her office drive Jag's or Mercedes but no Joanne drives a dually. She came to me last week and said " You know I think i would be a little more comfortable in a 3/4 ton SRW truck, this dually is a pain trying to find a place to park". I agreed with that so we went out to get her a 2500 CTD Ram. The dealership only had one of those and it had no option's at all, not even electric windows. It was a 4X4 CTD 2500 and the price was $39,000. The salesman would not let go of this deal and was trying to get her into that 2003 Ram. There was a 2002 3500 4X4,HO 6 Speed, with all of the options even leather, this truck had been a demo and had 2975 miles on it. When Joanne found out that the new 2003 HO 6 Speeds where not California Legal she had to have that dually. You could have knocked me over with a feather. We bought the damn thing and she has not as of today even sat in the drivers seat. I told her that was a hell of a lot of money for a spare truck. So I guess I do have a spare, maybe some day she will drive the thing.

Gunny I got to say it you are a lucky man. Hang on to that women.

162,000 on my 92, still the original Getrag transmission, uses no oil between changes even towing.

 

[dpuckett]

My 92 has 245K; 93 is closing in on 160K, and should pass the 92 by Labor Day. I know aguy in Missouri that had to replace the head gasket on his 90 a few years ago, and he could see the hone marks in the cylinders at 390K, though they were worn somewhat. He has over 600 on the original fuel system, transmission, and rear end. My 2 use about a quart when all the seals and gaskets are installed correctly (shame on me; front main didnt last too lopng on 93) Neither one of mine had seen real good care, oil changes, and that is about it, before I got it. I always change all fluids on a new-to-me vehicle. On this last one, I have had a few leaks pop up, but nothing I am going to fix in 30 degree days and 5 degree nights, and a 20+ mph breeze.

My 1995 4x4 extended cab 1 ton dually has 254 k miles on it. I regularly pull a trailer full of hay with a total weight of around 28 to 29 thousand pounds pulling a major mountain pass regularly, so I really push it to the limits. I just have to watch my following distances. I have a lot of go and not as much whoa!



My wife drives a 1997 4x4 extended cab 1 ton dually CTD with 20k miles on it. It has 4:10 gears in it but I prefer the 3:54 gears in mine. I love our trucks!



Keep on Smokin em!!!Oo.

Greg, you would be a good one to ask. What kind of oil do you use and what interval do you change it?

 

[Greg W]

Hi,

I change my oil every 5 k to 6 k miles, trying to change it closer to 5 but it is amazing how fast the miles build up and surprise you that it is time to change it again. I used cummins blue oil for the first 100k and then switched to Chevron oil (I can't remember all the specifics off hand). I buy it by the case from Costco. I use a finer micron filter than stock that I buy from the Cummins parts counter. I could look up the numbers if you would like.



I am about due for an oil change in both rigs this week.



BTW the Dodge dealer by me only sells the Chevron oil now they stopped carrying the Cummins Blue that is why I switched.



Good luck



Greg
