17000 no probs BUT some of you guys scare me .I bought planning on nothing but routine maint for at least 200k Especially since I've wentover 200 on more than one small block Chev WAAY over 100k on several and over 310,000 on a 22re even put 80 something on a 1984 6.2 with zero problems before I sold it THANX PS I understand the Hottshots with heavy lds having some issues but average uses even including farm ranch RV stuff should not be having these problems

I was at the dealer today and the service guy was telling me about a guy he sells Mopar fuel additive to by the box who bought his truck in Oct. and already has 130,000 on it.

Mine is just broken in at 65K. Awesome motor surrounded by lousy electronics. In the shop 3 times at dealer for TSBs: once, bad cable screwed their upgrade/download and fried the ECM, but not my nickle. Have had the defroster door replaced twice, $600 a pop (have to pull the dash, not my idea of a good time). On the good side, tires look to go another 20K easily, I put everything on the truck Banks has to offer, drive it daily 120 miles in commute. I get 23-24mpg. A very comfortable vehicle to spend 3 hours a day in 5 days a week. Stock, the truck was a pig: Banks'ed, well, my back tires are wearing evenly ;-). Pulls my 25' 5th wheel like a wild cocker spaniel. No engine/drivetrain issues. Paint/finish still launders well.

I bought my 03 used 3-27-0 with 14000 on it , just turned over 77,000 today. Besides a sore backside I really have not had any major problems.
I am installing a isspro mechanical fuel pressure gauge this weekend to watch LP.

ISSPRO makes a 3 gauge pod for the cubby hole in the 3rd gens. It angles the gauges toward the driver and up slightly. VERY nice.
