My 2002 Dodge(RIP)...I bought it with 300k on it in 2012 for 3000$. I proceeded to flog the hell out of it. Father's Day, 2019, she suffered a catastrophic failure. 960k+ miles, mostly towing waaay more than legal on my 40ft gooseneck. I melted things in the 6spd that I didn't know could melt...maybe made some new alloys. Cost for the parts were more than I paid for the truck.
I really should have fixed her, but sold the motor to a guy who swore up and down it had to have been rebuilt. I miss her

Over 300k on my dodge 3500. New clutch and pressure plate at 280k from a leaky cam seal. Other than that, altenator, ball joints, front axle ujoints, power steering pump and ac compressor. So far it has only left me stranded when an idler pulley seized and sheered off. Made several trips hauling stuff between komifornia and ky. Helped a friend haul building from orange county to Idlewild also.

What kinda vehicle are you working with here?

 

[mash on it]

1.7 million miles? That's a pretty good run.

My 7.3 is only at 600k

They must have made Hemis better back then. We have 2017 and 2019 both with exhaust header leaks (head studs?), the truck is getting fixed now hopefully under warranty.
