I agree, but don't you think that the rest of the D/C truck will need to be serviced many many times before 250K? If you're worried about "not having any problems" then you better start worrying more about the truck itself and less about the engine. The rest of the truck will start falling apart ~100K.

Really?

My 1998.5 dodge Cummins has had two interior light bulb replacements, one headlight bulb, and the driver's door has been greased twice. No other work done on the dodge part in 312,000 miles. Truth be told I've had to do more work to the Cummins part than the dodge part.

I had two Fords before this truck. Neither made it past 200,000 miles before they were breaking too much to make it worthwhile to fix.

The Dodge truck I own is a higher quality product than the two Fords I owned before it.

I own both and my 98.5 dodge did go 200K + miles with very few problems, no cracked frame, original lift pump, original clutch, original brakes went 120K, original front end went about 180K then only ball joints replaced. For the life of me, I know this is a Ford site but where do people come up with this constant BS about other brands? They are all good, some better at some things and every brand gets a bad run once and a while like the early 6.0 that a lot of people had problems ( not for me) with.
