How many miles on your 05's??

[macdaddy]

Thanks for all the responses,Turns out that the decision to buy an 05 was a good one, because



_Last year for the NV 5600



_Last year for the 7/70 (without paying extra).



My only concern is the rate the oil becomes black with soot or ?. Can this have an effect on the amount of miles that will be accumulated??.

My 04. 5 should hit 200k on my way back from West Texas tonight (purchased 2/26/04). Our 05 has 69,xxx miles purchased 2/1/05

Bought mine 5/28/05 and I will hit 13k this weekend. I have cut down on my driving quit a bit due to gas prices. I now realize how much wasted driving I was doing.

Got my 05 31st of August & only have 3000 miles on it. Was going to do the first oil change yesterday to get that breakin oil out, but it was too cold out. I guess I'll have to go light a fire in my shop or wait until spring. I may have 5000 on by then. :-laf



Did I mention this truck only comes out to tow my 5vr & I'm preserving it for my retirement in 8yrs. Hurry up retirement Oo. Oo. Oo.

Hey Dodge bob. It's me Pat Harold's buddy. I just got back on the TDR the other night. I'm just now coming up for air after 50 night shifts in a row .



I really don't dig how the 05's oil gets so sooty so fast, I guess it's that third injection event BS that Cummins uses to avoid the EGR valve .
