Wife had a couple new rigs over the years and now the kids are all raised and gone and it's finally my turn. This will be my only new pick-up ever and should last the rest of my life time. Here's a couple pics I put it right to work. And here's one of the front end And finally a close up of the lic. Plate I'm really starting to love it. Thanks Dennis Eugene

Looking Good !!

It's all about the maintenance. Take care of her and she will take care of you:)

After 10 years, and 100+K miles, my original factory battery recently died. I guess they just don't make them like they used to. I suppose the original plugs, brakes, belt, and hoses will go next...

Damn, Jack!! I remeber when you got that truck. Has it really been that long ago?

Hopefully you will get many, many years of good service out of that rig.

Time flies when yer getting old.:) Bought in late 2003. Other than maintenance items, I've replaced one tail light bulb, and one crankshaft position sensor which cost me $95. Everything still works, and the hemi has as much scoot as it's ever had. No leaks, no oil usage. I like it...

Jack, I am right there with you in my '04. Put a new battery in 2011 right at 100K. At 120K now still on original brakes, hoses belt etc. Engine doesn't use a drop of oil.

Total repairs to this point was a $38 EGR sensor, $60 A/C blend door, a $85 door latch, and $1.50 for a new hose clamp on a leaky power steering line.( I hate those crimp on hose clamps.) I do all the work myself, so less than $200 in 9 years isn't bad at all.

My '03 Chevy has required a bit more work to say the least.

(Hint: Hoot works for Cummins and needs enough engines to be sold so he can retire.)

Nice truck for sure.

for a 2012. I had only one service call that I recall for a mystery problem which was solved by cleaning up a ground wire connection. I have been meaning to add up the "Total Cost of Ownership" as I did keep records. Maybe later on today.

Thanks Guys! And Hoot, Truck drivin' Dennis loves the Cummins.
