mileage
I'm looking to buy a 2006 dodge 3500. It says it had 175k on the ticker and I don't believe it because the guy just had to redo the front end and replace the injectors and turbo. Is there a way to tell if the fuse was ever pulled to keep the miles off it?

Umm it is just as simple as pulling a fuse I have done it on mine before...and I had well over 250k on it and still stock injectors and turbo from the factory. To me it just seemed sketchy and I'm not sure if this truck was ever lifted but I'm getting it from a rancher with a dew eze hay bed on it. So I doubt it was lifted. Most people I talk to haven't had any issues with their 5.9 and they have more miles than this.

If it was as easy as pulling a fuse don't you think there would be an issue with more people doing it to increase resale value?:humm: If it was a ranchers truck chances are it was run on rough roads/fields which is why the front end needed to be overhauled. These trucks front ends are extremely heavy. The stock filtration on these trucks also are not great with a 7 micron filter so depending on where people get their fuel from injectors need to be replaced as soon as 75k miles. Also I bet the hours are high on the motor from being left idling while working the cattle which obviously is more wear and tear on the injectors also. I don't doubt you got 250k out of your last one but I do not think that's a typical expierence without replacing any of those components. If injectors and front end is done go for it IMO- just wait for the trans to take a dump next if it's stock auto

I have a 2006 with 108,000 so far A/C x 10, front end x 3, rear main seal ,instrument clusterx2 radio, transmission, and now a turbo So I bet the 175k could be true. The only good thing about these trucks is that Cummins

Dam sounds like that thing was built on a Monday. And I agree with you on the cummins part. I guess the miles could be real I just expected it to go longer because I ragged on mine pretty hard and I never had an issue other than shocks and dash cracking. I was even l running 35" tires so I figured that would wear it out faster. Now I'm sure it needed to be replaced when I sold it.
