104,000 on my 99. I've been using 93 octane gas since early on with this truck; I get the same miles per dollar as regular and the truck runs better.

I've got 28,000 miles on my 2001 that I got on July 5, 2001. Mostly highway miles, no problems with the engine yet, have had a couple of problems with the front torsion bars, but the engine hasn't given me a single problem.

9300 or around there in my '02 3.9 4X4 QC. I got it... Almost a year ago now. I did the deal on 10/30 and picked it up 11/1. I love this truck. I've added new Autolite spark plugs, a Turbo City intake, a Dynomax muffer, a V-8 TB and relocated the IAT... Next year it's probably injectors, TPS adjustment and (hopefully) replacing the clutch fan with an electric one. The power is acceptable (for me) now after the latest round of things I've done... I'm hoping the next round will make it really wake up.

I had a Gen II CC that had about 60,000 on its 3.9. That one didn't run as good as this one, but I didn't buy that one new, either.

Wish I knew. In March it had 10,200km before selling it. It was 6 months old at the time. All I did to it was mod it. IAT, CAI, Clears, tints, etc.

I miss the damn thing every day I get into my 4-door. Although in the snow I'm sure I'll be cursing less, damn peg legs.

I have a 4-door now! :( Dodge Stratus

Smitty1000,

What is a decarbon kit? I have never heard of anything like that before. Since my truck has sucked at getting decent gas milage lately, I would be willing to try anything.

Oh yeah....I have 57,900 on my 98 Dak.

I've been looking at the EPA fuel consumption figures on the '03's. It lists 18 mpg around town and 20 on the highway. Are these real world figures or are they blowin' smoke? I don't plan on pulling anything so thought the V-6 would suffice for power. What do you think?
