I Think I Don't Want These Computers in Cars Anymore
IN short.....
2007 Ram 1500 with the 5.7 Hemi. I'm just over 405,000 miles on the original engine and transmission. The axle is original but I changed from 3.55 gears to a 3.92. The limited slip differential is stock.
I've replaced the radiator twice, the A/C condenser twice, One EGR valve, water pump, starter, 1 set of fuel injectors, 2 oxygen sensors, 1 fan clutch, 1 serpentine belt, multiple sets of spark plugs, ONE K & N air filter, 2 transmission control modules. Multiple sets of tires and brake pads. I've replaced a drivers side seat, console lid and cup holder. The Flowmaster muffler has 435,000 miles on it. I had it on my last truck that was totaled and it has been on this since I bought the truck in 2007.
The engine has used oil since around 200,000 miles but now that I'm retired and not driving 1000 miles a week, it isn't much of a problem.
I have a spare 5.7 to swap in, I bought it April of last year but this one just keeps running. It idles smooth and still makes decent power. Mileage isn't much different from when it was new, I can get 18-20 if I drive at 60 mph on flat ground.
