I want to start a tread about what truck you have, the mileage and the maintenance done since you got it.

I have:
1999 Dodge 2500 Sport
5.9 CTD
4" lift 36" PJ Dirt Grips
93,000 miles
Repairs since I got it at 80,000:
New front brakes
Fuel filter
oil change
front wheel bearings
new headlights
Tranny service
Transmission Speed Sensor


Thats it.

BigBlue

2001 Qc Sb 4x4 auto
4.5" lift 35" Nittos
4" exhaust
Scotty 2 intake
74k miles
4 lift pumps (2 factory 2 aftermarket)
Tranny electronics at 20K
A/C system at 37K
All 4 ball joints at 70K


Tranny and track bar need replacing but funds are limiting.

04 2500 QC
3500 miles first oil change
every 400 miles or so fuel
7800 miles now , getting near 2nd oil change
I would hope that this is a trend.... nothing but fuel and oil and filters when needed

Flatty

I wish this was a trend... One I could get used to.

HOHN

02 QC SB 4x4 six speed HO (ETH/DEE for the old timers)


First oil change: 500 miles, Rotella 15W-40
Second: 3500 miles, Chevron Delo 400 (didn't like RoSmella)
Diff lube changed at 10K to Mobil 1 75-90
Added gauges at 11K miles
Added EZ at 12K
Added DD2s at 14K
Switched oil to Redline 15W-40 (the best I've ever used)

Skyjacker D25 coils and Bilstein 5100s added at 21,000
DT Pro Fab track bar added at 21,001 miles (ruined stocker doing coils/shocks)

Wildcat Max-flow at 24k miles

BHAF at 30K
Diff change to Redline Shockproof Heavy at 30K

Fuel filters every 5-7K
Oil every 5-10K, depending
Oil filters always stratapore (important)

Truck runs great, and stock clutch still holds. Only gripe is an air leak in the fuel system that I can't find (truck loses prime when parked nose high). If it's parked nose-lower, it fires right up; nose high and you have to bump it and let the LP run then crank crank crank.

Front brakes just because, trans fluid change and shift kit, gauges @ 44,000
EZ Box, Uni Air Filter, 1 lift pump @ 56,000 Cummins bought me the new one.
Oil changed every 7,000 w/filter.
Fuel filter every 5-6,000
Still running original Mich. LTX.
Use some sort of fuel additive every fill up, vp44 don't fail me now.

Flatty

I ordered my gauges this last week. I am just waiting on them now. I am hoping I can avoid the VP44 going out my watcing the fuel pressure.
