Good truck and good engines, I had one our daughter totaled at 220k, ran like a champ, currently have 2 Dakotas with well over 200k on them 260 on one 280 on the other, all have been 4WDs. The trans seem to be the weak link on them, the Durango was done at 215k and the truck with 280 has a bad one now. The 260 Dakota had some solinoid work done before I bought it at 135k. The Durango had the intake gasket done under warranty about 20k or so and that was the only warranty repair it ever had. I have not replaced either of the other 2. Generally speaking, if you change the oil regularly with good oil the magnums will go forever like most cast iron engines.
