434K on mine as of right now.. Transmission last year, rear rebuilt last year and I'm replacing engine, reason comes down to a feeling that something isn't right with the thing.. Between a oil leak that just started I was using 3qts of oil in-between oil changes.. last year it was 1qt now 3 therefore, something is going on inside of the motor and I just as soon change it before something goes boom in the middle of nowhere.

951k and going strong....just battling the rust worm......

Windsor · Jun 6, 2015

335000 on my 08. Would love to get 600000 but don't think it will happen. Had to do a timing chain at 190000. This thing was abused before I got it. Have had to replace trans and both axles already. Got a lot of play in the rear end also. That's next I guess.

What did it cost to replace your rear end? I just need to order the parts. I have a neighbor that can help me with the labor. He's an awsome shade tree mechanic. I'm lucky

Greeting:I had 2 so far the 1st was an 2004 I got 350K before I pumped water mixed fuel in at the Fling J in B'ham,Al.Replaced engine with a rebuilt one,cost appox $9K.Then trany when out Wis.,rebuilted one cost $2800.Finny at 550K drop a piston.Sold it for parts, how ever a spotted it again in Houston Tx 6 months later beening driven my a newbie from Bolt.Got a 2011, 28 months ago I got 260K on it,the reason I'm telling you this is its in the shop having the DPF replaced.What a nitemare,it took we 12 days to get home after visting 3 different dealers from.All with the help from M/B Customer Service getting me the appt at each dealer.One dealer wanted me to wait 10 days before they could see it.I played every card I had to get it home to my dealer before forking out the bucks.Thank you M/B Customer service.When Dodge had it they jacked me around doing work and telling things I needed that I didnt need.I wouldn't got this one if I had to deal with Dodge.My current Sprinter I love it I plan to get a millon miles out of it like the saleman, told I could.LOL What do they say about there lips moving..........Go get you one and happy truckin.

When my dpf clogged 2 yrs ago i limp moded home and punched mine out myself in my driveway. I didn't have the extra money to buy a new one.

2011 - 2500 170" ext. - 310K mi.
Glow Plugs, Alternator, Front Struts, Transmission Fluid, NOx Sensor, Oxygen Sensor, DPF Sensor, Brake Pads around 200K.
- Wayne Rodd or I buy the Parts online and he installs. He and Shelly are the Best...big plus, they love my dog and she loves them! Lol
I just change my own Filters I buy Online and Oil here at home. Got to avoid the $130 per hour Shops. Ridiculous Gouging (my opinion). Light bulbs are easy except for those darn front turn signal bulbs! Michelin Tires purchased at Discount Tire (best price I could find with free rotation/balance every 6-7K). Guaranteed for 70K but mine last between 100-130K...I won't take any chances and like having decent tread depth. Tires, Oil/OilFilter and Fuel Filter are #1 on my list. Always top off my DEF Monthly at the Pump.

Update.. I'm on my third by 2011 was a drain on the pocket if the check lite was not on it means the engine was off. $6800 last year in shop time and parts. Currently go 2014 got sept last year 81k on the clock.love it best one yet. Hate to throw good money after bad .

2006 T1N
733,350 currently
- New transmission @ 550k
- New Detroit Diesel reman engine @ 600k
- P.O.S. Detroit Diesel reman engine replaced @ 620k due to extreme oil consumption and blown head gasket. Bastages at Chrysler would not pay labor for second replacement.
-New driveshaft @ 650k
-P.O.S. Detroit Diesel reman engine #2 was built with a used crankshaft damper pulley that failed @ 660k. Surprise, surprise... Chrysler would not pay for replacement. No surprise, then, that I do not see a Promasturbator in my future...

How far do you run your tires? Do you go by the 4/32 depth rule?

Windsor · Jun 10, 2015

I go by the rule "looks like I need new tires and winter is coming" I don't need to measure tread depth.

Windsor · Jun 10, 2015

How about the 8/64 rule
