Impressive! I hope to make it there someday too. Only about 249,300 miles to go (roughly 31 more years by current driving).

Fox coil overs and AM control arms at 80,000. Whole front axle at 191,000. Foxes replaced at 210,000 along with all other steering parts. Ball Joints in control arms were still tight but replaced anyway. Rear axle bearings at 240000. Truck has thrown 2 codes EVER. First one was at 140,000 when I let the plugs go to long and I burnt a coil pack. And one was after jumping it. Oops, just remembered the 3rd, it was for a wheel sensor. Only motor part was the waterpump at 200k. It still has the original alternator and starter.

Nice to see that number, I am at 65,600 on my 13 ram big horn, and I want to retire soon, so if my truck will last as long as yours is, I be happy.
Mine is paid for and really don't want a a pymnt again...

This truck was worked. Lots of highway miles but also alot of time spent in ditches and on railroad right of way. You also wouldn't believe the loads of firewood I have hauled with it. Truck has 25% overload variable rate coils in back.

No catch can. Uses up to 1/2 quart of oil on 6000 mile oil change. Oil is a mix of whatever name brand synthetic oil was on sale at the time. Have used up to 5 different brands in one oil change. Filter is ALWAYS a Wix. Oil changes were done at dealership at factory suggested intervals till 70,000. Once it went out of warranty, I switched to synthetic and 6000 mile intervals. Due to the frequency (every 4-6 weeks in the spring-fall) I started getting all of these partly full 5 qt jugs of oil. I would have to wait till that brand of oil went on sale again, then use the partial with it. It got to be a hassle and quite the clutter in my garage, so I started mixing them. All oils were 5-20 and it seems to have caused no issues. Truck has NO oil leaks ANYWHERE.
