Like a buddy said, "If you keep it more than 3yrs you're married to it". Well 440k and its mine. Just had ATS build a motor for it and hope it will go another 400k. ;D ;D ;D

Well...my Ford is 20 years old. I hope to be able to say the same about the ram in 17 years.

I think I'll keep mine until the first lift pump fails ;D. Actually I've never sold a truck with less than 140K on it. This one will be kept a lot longer than that. I've never had a truck that I liked as well as this one. It tows my enclosed trailer with car, get good mileage, gets me to where I want to go hunting and fishing. Ya can't ask for more than that.

Thats the right question to ask how long are you going to keep it? Since we all know they will last a very long time. ;D
I have been thinking about selling mine only because I need a bigger tow vehicle. Wifey loves the truck and it may be tough. Its an 02 3500 just barely broken in. Got to admit I love this truck.

I plan to keep B.E.R.T. until I buy something that is too big for it to tow ... should be quite a while I reckon.

Probably till it loses all it's hair and teeth. Actually, I like Gary's response - it has great lines and I really love it. I've told my Mrs that I'm just as satisfied with this truck after two years and almost 60k miles as I was when we bought it.
