Ill hop in the game. my 2008 4.7 will hit 273,*** by tonight..... Almost trouble free the whole way. No engine issues, no trans issues. Lost a set of bearings in the rear axle and broke 1 rear axle. Replaced front hubs and ac condenser motor.

4 sets of tires, 1 set front hubs, 1 set rear calipers, 3 sets front rotors, 2 sets rear rotors, had drive shaft rebuilt (dealer though the noise i was hearing was drive shaft, it was rear axle bearings so rebuild not necessary) 2 sets shocks, 4 sets front brake pads, 3 sets rear pads, 1 control arm, 2 serpentine belts, and a set of cats...

Now FYI i have had EVERY recommended service done with the exception of fuel injector cleaning done by dodge at factory recommend intervals..

Bought truck new @ 4 miles. so far 273, going for 750k AND i tow a 16x8 cargo trailer regularly @ 5k lbs.....

motor still runs like a champ, no oil burning, no leaks / knocking /pinging or hesitation....

That is very inspiring mileage on your truck! Is your water pump and radiator original?

My 181k on my 2008 4.7 seems paltry now.

My 08 has 170k. Traded my 2000 5.9 1500 with 270k. It would still smoke the tires. Before that I had a 97 5.9 1500 with 330k. Guess I smoked the tires too many times cause the rear end went out on me :) But I never had any problems with the engine, Transmission was a different story.
