    Just curious, who has the most miles on their Diesel powered rig? How many miles before you felt a rebuild was needed? What other if any componets failed along the way?

    ~230,000 miles waytogo

    Actual mileage is a little higher, closer to 235K. Ran on the orriginal pump and injectors all the way until 212K, when i had the pump rebuilt and swapped in the 6.5 injectors.

    I live in Modesto California
    A "measly" 108K on my Ram Cummins. I have only had it for 8K and I had one lift pump failure (was on it's way out when I bought it) and thats it so far. I'll vote for my grandpa too that has 258K+ on his '95 PSD. He has had very little problems for the miles, mainly problems with his doors, locks and window mechinisms acting up. He has had a few sensors act up but no biggie. Original E40D auto and engine.
