i think you could get that kind of mileage out of any of the diesels out there so long as they're properly looked after. my 02' lb7 has just over 85000 miles on it and i think its just getting broken in. bought it new and have used synthetic fluids in everything since i bought it. still works like when i bought it. only problem i had was the injectors which were all replaced under warranty.
nothing wrong with a dodge. cummins speaks for itself. couldn't find a tougher work truck IMO. buddy of mine has 06' dodge 1 ton SRW with cummins. great working truck. would haul anything. but rides very rough and hard on front end parts. only had a year and had to replace several front end parts. for a daily driver and to tow my fifth wheel in the summer its GM all the way for me.....
