245000 on my 2011 1500 laramie and still counting. Had to replace 1 tie rod end recently and the valve body on the transmission around the 200k mark. Apart from that just regular maintenance. 1000 on my 2017 laramie limited. She just sits around.

2012 1500

About to roll over 110k. I’ve been battling an odd stutter at low rpms but it pulls as good as it did on day 1. Regular maintenance, brakes (front rotors, f&r pads), an idler pulley, batteries, and tires. No real complaints so far. I’m almost paid off and then I’ll start really pursuing the low rpm stutter.

This truck has also been $1000 shy of being totaled and came back from the dead. I’ll probably have it forever now.

I hate it. I have ran mobile one full synthetic since the first oil change so I don’t think it is in the MDS (I believe that is oil controlled) also mine still does it in manual as well as tow/haul. I’m worried it is in the tq converter but don’t quite know how to check that. Also new plugs had no effect on it either. I’ve thought MAYBE a coil pack but doubtful.

Did a transmission flush and changed the body at the dealer for 1400 tax included. Hurt a bit, but given the mileage i'm fine with it. She's been a good truck.

just a random thought. what fuel do you run? i still have a gritty feeling when low rpm with MDS. but the stuttering/hesitation even in manual for me has seemed to calm down after running a good batch of 93 through it. (it has gotten nothing but 87 its whole life lol)

Full transmission would have probably been around 5k, but I just had 1 bad valve on the body and replaced it before it caused any other problems. It was stuck in limp mode so I didn't have much of a choice. Valve body was around 700 and the transmission doesn't need to be removed to change it so it wasn't a ton of labor. Had it back the same day I dropped it off.

My 2017 1500 Express has 1022 miles all in 2 WD. It's snowing like a sum beach in MT right now and were supposed to have up to 8 inches today. It rained early this morning & I have to pick up my mom to run an errand. Wish me luck.

Put some weight in the back!^^

I've got 12,500 miles on mine. Had to get the A/C recharged and I think it's going to need a new blower motor in the future.

87 also. I did run a few bottles of STP injector cleaner through a while back to no avail. I’m filling up on my way home so I’ll give 93 a try.

So running 87 vs. 89 has been a big discussion. I've been running nothing but 89, and I did pit 2 or 3 tanksnof 93 and I do not think it ran as well. My opinion is to run 89 with the occasional 87. Always from a top tier station.

well down here in Texas we only get the choice of 87, 91 and 93. i just wanted to run some 93 through it for the cleaning properties, since its been run of 87 for over 100k miles. it really has smoothed out the truck. ill probably just put the occasional tank of 91 from now on though.

gas mileage also looked a bit better. i have a 30 min drive to work. i usually average 14 to 15, since i drive like a ****. but this whole week i havent seen it down below 16.5mpg. no changes in driving.
