I agree with Cliff. Keep the tranny temp below 200 and it'll last a long long time. My father-in-law's 94 just like this one has almost 200,000+ on it and never has been repaired and he hauled lots of 400 bu loads of corn out of the fields with it. The weakest item on any of these full sized Dodges is the front end, especially on Diesels since the Cummins weighs so much more than the gas. All else is well designed and built heavy including the brakes. I worked for a construction company that had all Dodges (diesel and gas) and frontends and trannys were 99% of the repairs but mainly due to abuse, not poor design. By the way, the Cummins engine is designed to go 250,000 mi before minor overhaul and 500,000 before major in normal usage. That info is from a Cummins engineer I knew.
