Oh come on, do like I did. Get you a new one and keep ole faithful to stare at and drive around on the weekends. You know you want to........;):B

I enjoyed your post Dutch.

Had to order my '04.5 in Dec.'03. Now has 180K and counting. Not afraid to go anytime anywhere with it and 5er. It has had some body work done and a repaint due to a dead tree and hail damage the same weekend.

I just turned over 12K on my 2014. Waiting for Ford to come out with the new Aluminum Super Duty. Will definitely have to have one of those.

Hi All: The truck I have is a 2004.5 Dodge 2500 diesel and has about 103,500 miles. I have put some repair work into it as parts just ware out. Hard for me at 71 years of age to go out and spend 60K to replace it. We are not full timers and only camp during the spring, summer and early fall. We did spend some dollars this spring and upgrade from a 2004 5th wheel to a 2013 5th wheel to get away from repairs which take money and also time. We plan to camp as long as our health permits.

Five years old with 39k ? That thing is about to fall apart! I'll do you a favor and take it off your hands for $10,000. Don't have to thank me.........your welcome!

It's later than you think..... :E

Yes, garaging sure helps Ricochet (BTW, great spot!) . Unfortunately mine has never been inside so it aged a little harder. Amazingly the paint has not faded one tiny bit and you couldn't even tell where I removed emblems. New paint Matched perfectly.

Yep, had planned on buying something new about now but the old truck still performs so well that I decided to keep her. Even gave it a little face lift last year by having a local custom body shop clean up all the chips and dent from driving over the pass so many times. Also had them add the two-tone paint I wish I had gotten when new and had all the mirrors and door pulls painted to match. Looks better than new again and it's ready for another ten years.

Purdy huh!
