97 has 398K
98 has 298K
99 Has 198K

I swear to god I didn't plan it this way, .

06 has 189K miles on it, time for the tranny to get rebuilt, its not liking to pull the 36ft horse trailer everywhere anymore, a new Trans should solve that.

I have been around good dodges, and bad ones. I just sold my superduty and got this dodge, and I think the superduty is a much more sturdy platform, but I am looking forward to messing with the cummins some. 04.5 with 22k BTW.

I was just commenting on how many brand loyal idiots I've had tell me that all of these dodges (no reference to any generation or year) just fall apart, without fail; yet when I point to my experience with every generation of truck and engine (which my family owns at least one of each) and the absolute abuse that I've put mine through, the conversation starts over like a broken record about how they all just fall apart, without fail.
