How many miles does you RAM have?

[Nealuss]

Looks like I'm the current gas engine record holder. 291,000 miles and runs just fine. I'm pretty sure the previous owner had a used engine put in about 50k ago and had the trans rebuilt. Over the next few years the truck will get a new lease on life. Overhauling the steering and suspension right now, then a few gaskets here and there, then come the interior followed by some big upgrades. Plans for 4/6 drop and a supercharged 408 sometime in the future.

^^^^I might be the low miler as I am @ 800 miles. The truck was built 14 1/2 months ago. I suppose I should drive it more but my toys like hiding in the garage.^^^^

My old boss had 421,000 miles on her 98 1500 last time saw that hag.

Well between being married, having a older home that needs upkeep, 2 dogs, 9 chickens, 4 vehicles to maintain between me and my wife...its doesnt see alot of action mainly b.c i have alot of things going.


I spent the last 2 summers driving the charger alot more....this year i hope to drive the truck more, but i say that every year. My family run company gives me a vehicle to use, so i use that when i need a vehicle

Its ok, its just sitting in my barn with a battery tender on it, waiting....

another reason is cost. Between the charger and truck, i can easily (and i mean easily) burn thru 75-100 dollars in fuel in no time. My truck gets 6-8 mpg with the 4.56 gears, the charger has a 440, 3 speed auto, 750 carb, so that isnt a whole lot better...especially when you get on the throttle.

Both of these LOVE LOVE LOVE fuel. It can really add up if i start putting miles on them....and that much fuel usage with my wifes SUV....i can spend alot at the pump in a short amount of time :****sweak:

 

[dodge dude94]

6-8 mpg? Please, think about the SMILES per gallon.





I get 10 and change driving 12 miles to and from work everyday. lol A good section of it is with OD off on a twisty county road at a nice pace....

271000 kms had a new engine core installed at 257000

I think maybe we should change this to "How many original miles doe your Ram have?
Once you have a new engine installed it's pretty irrelevant how many miles you have.

 

[Dragboatdad]

300,ooo

My 1999 2500 4x4 has 301,000. It runs like a new one. To drive it, you'd think it had 10,000 miles. Everything is tight,no rattles. I have 35's on it at stock height, which is pretty high from the factory. I plan to install a 2" leveling kit this week.
I would post a pic if I knew how. I have owned this truck for about 5 years just used it occasionally. Now that I put wheels and tires and tinted the windows, I really enjoy driving it.
Especially because it's a 5 speed with 5" exhaust and no muffler.
I've heard stories of these trucks going a million miles. 500,000 miles is easily do able from what I've heard. I tow a fifth wheel. It doesn't have the power of the new ones, but does all right

Not really considering miles take their toll on more than just the engine.

Truth.. A truck is a truck and usually a dodge truck will fall apart around its engine... At least that's true here in rust belt ohio! Damn salt

Can't say the same for Chevy and ford

3rd owner 1995 Ram 2500 82500 miles. Runs like a top other than a hard start which I think is a sticking injector, and a slight coolant leak at the timing cover which I've just been too lazy to fix.
