No, not that at all.

Just messed up on the last motor, and accidently parked it with the valve covers off the motor for about 8 months, ( I went to retrieve the truck and when I popped the hood I found all 6 valve covers in the battery tray, and not over the valves.. ) I had been doing some adjustments on the motor, and just got so busy that when I had it parked, I completely forgot about that part, it didn't even have an injection pump on it at the time.

I then came across a screamin' deal on a slightly used recon motor, and dropped it in there. Runs perfect!

I understand I know what that can be like.

I have a 8v

I put a 4cyl 3.9 cummins in an 1500 in oct of last year, got about 14000 miles on it looking forward to looking forward to a 1,000,000.

20,000 a year, 5 years to a 100,000, 50 years a 1,000,000. not to far off

Not sure exactly how many miles on my 95 but the speedometer was broke upon purchase at 200000 miles. Guy I traded my 82 1/2 chevy for said it could possibly have no more than 300000. Truck chassis needs a little work but the motor burns no oil and runs good. Its all stock, doesnt smoke under power, and had minimal motor oil leakage.

My 97 has a lil over 250000. All I keep burning up is those darn wheel hubs. Whose bright idea was a non rebuildable hub anyway?

i installed EMS offroad hubs. cost $900 - spindle bolts inplace of hub unit, service able tapered wheel bearings and 2" wider bearing support. original hub unit is 3 1/2" wide, this is 5 1/2" wide - tires larger than the stock will wear out the hub unit faster. and has Warn hubs to unlock from the front diff save 1-2mpg, less vibration and wear/tear on equipment - originally would drag the axles, front diff, driveshaft and into the transfer case. heat is created in braking, if the brakes are not balanced correctly, the heat transfer to the hub will burn the hub unit. Dodge (and all other manufacturers) only went to this hub unit because it is faster to assemble. the kit can be completed in a day easily, however i did the ball joints and other work at the same time, plus, i didn't have all the right tools and parts (i thought i had everything). add up the cost of replacing the bearings a couple of times, the other wear and tear on equipment, $900 is reasonable. this kit is based on a early '90's 4x4 F-350 front end. it is an early Dana 60 system. i needed a new oil seal (damaged one sliding on to the spindle), Advanced Auto had it listed as that truck (tried Dodge 250, 350 80's-90's, no luck).
they also have a CAD delete, which can be used if the hubs are unlocked. and all spicer replacement parts.
it just seems logical.
i also think it looks cool, i don't see any others like mine around.
