I've always heard that 100,000 miles on a D-MAX was just geting broke in is that true and what about the rest of the truck? Thats about the time stuff starts going bad right? any input on the subject would be a big help thanks

 

its all about how well it is taken care of like maintenance. there was just a write up on a 2001 dodge that had 1,600,000 miles on it and it had org. engine, 6speed trans and rearend that never been rebuild

 

Like said above it depends on how well the truck was maintained. but it also depends on how the truck was treated. If it was a highway miles only truck, and wasnt driven like a race truck, then yeah everything should last quite a while. if the truck was driven in town, stop and go, and was a red light racer, then yeah the truck may have a few probs, and finally if it was just totally abused, off roading, hooking up/tug-o-war, basically how your avg teen would treat a truck, you can expect to have to dam near rebuild alot of the truck. But like said above, if the previous driver treated the truck well, and you treat it good, there is no reason why it shouldnt last over a million miles. i specifcally bought my truck because i knew it would last "forever" and because i can build on it over time, and make it a good truck with out stressing about having to swap eng's or any BS like that.

 

i have 100K+ miles on my rig... seems to be holding up pretty well, except for some minor things, when we had the heads off the pistons and cylinder bores looks almost new

 

Almost 250k on Goldie, and right under 400k on the dually those are Cummins though
