My 2004.5 2WD Ram CTD is nearing 100k. Front brakes will be done this week.
"Also ball joints, power steering pump, water pump, front brakes and brake assembly hoses, and electric fan clutch have been replaced." I'm curious, I haven't replaced any of those items. Were they failures or preventative?

I realize it's not what you're thinking but why not replace it with a new Ram while you can still get something for the '05?
I can get something for my truck - nearly what I paid for it seven years ago. Why would someone want to shell out the bucks for immediate depreciation and an outrageous sales tax/ registration bill, and deal with smog control issues? Especially since the OP says his truck runs great.
And arguably, something less reliable than his 05.
