112,000 miles on mine and no real problems yet...
80,000 put a Goerends tranny in.. (stocker was still performing fine)
100,000 new hub bearings and u joints
105,000 carrier bearing
112,000 AC compressor pump.
I've been very happy with my truck with now big problems yet (currently knocking on Chaikwa's head)

You really shouldn't have made that initial comment in the thread!
My truck has had its share of problems and stranded me twice now. Both fuel pump related. Among the other things, front suspension/steering, wiper motor, trans, ecm its been a great truck. Fortunately I purchased an extended warranty with the truck and got all $9000 of repairs covered for a total out of pocket expense of only $548.00 in numerous deductibles. The warranty cost me $1500 initially.
I still love the truck and am happy with it and its towing ability.

I had a 99, great truck i replaced a light bulb once and that was it. Rust was starting to have it's way with it but that is to be expected with 158K miles of minnesota roads. Ran like a top when i traded it in.
My 05 has been pretty decent too more refined than the 99, so far i have just had to replace a p/s hose that was rubbed through not really the trucks fault should have been caught earlier now it will never happen again.

I only have 41,000 miles on my '07 5.9 but so far its been flawless....I've been around MANY Dodge diesels at work, friends, relatives and such; the biggest thing I've seen fail out of all of those trucks is a lift pump in turn taking out the injection pump.....
The main reason I bought mine is because of seeing so many problem free trucks.....Cummins rocks!

my 93 is mostly driven for farm use only has 95k on it . other than the dodge body she is sweet. pulls gooseneck flatbed when she is running. filled her with bad fuel once and had to pump it out but that ain't the pickups fault.

My 02 has been pretty good to me 4 yrs. Done the usual brakes, belt, balljoints, and one VP44. Has 151K miles on it now and runs like a a champ still! only reason i lost a VP was because I didn't get a FP gauge on it in time.

got 70k on my 06 and love it. These trucks are as strong as the weakest link, and with the thanks of these forums, we are all able to share the info on what these weak links are and stay ahead of them. Mine has never left me stranded and i dont ever expect it to.

well nevermind my earlier post. my truck let me down big time!!! i was backing up going 5mph and cranked the wheel to the left and there was a 8 inch curb. i tapped the curb and drove right over it... no big deal right? WRONG!!! I put my truck in drive got to about 5mph all the sudden the tires bolted to the right then back to the left . i put my truck in park got out and sure enough bent my drag link realy bad and im toe in about 20 degrees. i was 100 miles from home in 100 degree heat and no water for me or my girlfriend. it was a 400 dollar tow and 400 dollars in parts. she let me down big time.
