Someone else already beat him to it, there was some old man in Texas somewhere that has an older Chevy 4x4 I think 89-90 model, he was showing that it just rolled over 1 million miles for the cameras representing K&N filters, he bought the truck new and the first thing he did is put a K&N filter on it, and ran it forever with it on there, he says that all he has to do with the truck is the daily maintence work on it (oil changes, suspension lubrications, clean filter....etc.....) It is proven on K&N's website.

I hated to see my '99 hit 100k, but now I can't wait til it hits 200k. I'm at 163k now and counting. Oh yeah, I use a K&N too.

I worked for a company that had a 1997 Dodge 1500 with the V6 for a delivery truck. They sold it for $400 with 365,000 on it. I had nothing but problems with a '97 Dodge and they had nothing but success, go figure.

So I will be buying a chevy with duramax and allison trans to see how it will hold up.

I owned alot of trucks over the years. Dodge (gas and deisel), Chevy (gas), and Ford (gas and deisel), mostly Dodge though. I had good luck with all of them except the Ford Powerstroke. It was just a nightmare from the beginning. I heard they have fixed those problems though. I think pretty much any of them, if taken care of, will last you quite a while anymore. But if I was a bettin man, man money would be on the Cummins outlasting them all. I had an 89 Ram with the CTD that had over 490K on it when the odometer broke. Drove it for 3 more years before selling it. That was about 5 years ago and I still see it on the road from time to time.

I had a 96 ram CTD that the trans kept downshifting after towing for about an hour. We changed out the torque converter to an aftermarket one (I think ATI was the brand) and put on a larger cooler. Never had the problem again. From what I was told, Dodge was having problems with the fluid getting too hot.

When I was working irrigation we had a 95 2500 dodge CTD that we had to put 1 trans and 3 torque converters in during one summer. The CTD is a great engine but the autos are junk. We had an old 78 1 ton dually chevy with a 350 and SM465 4 speed w/granny low. That thing was clapped out but still going. It had almost 400K on the clock. It towed a 16ft irrigation trailer everyday. The guy bought it new. It was on its 3rd engine but the trans was original. The syncros were long gone but it was still going strong otherwise.

I have had nothing but bad luck with Dodge. I have a friend that won't own nothing but a Dodge, he never has any problems with his. My brother works at the Duramax plant, so I drive Chevy now (get that GM discount).
