i put 5,604 miles and 128839. on the clock. on my 01 dak V6 in 2013. iam 65 years iam hoping for it to last till iam in the ground. what think?

 

maybe

 

Dang Moe, lol
that's a depressing thought isn't it?
Nope, you'll outlive 3 or 4 of those trucks

 

Have your mechanic get another one ready to drop in.... My 3.9 heaved it's guts out at 150,000.... Spit it all over the highway..
All I can Figure was a Connecting rod bolt gave up the fight...
Good Luck tho....

 

my dad showed me you could really work a chrysler hard and if you take care it, it will hold up. i tend to use a thicker oil than most. i can tell my old body has some weakness. and i dont like doctors my reg doc thinks i need a check up once a year. thats great for the tires on her Catallic. LOL

 

Let see...'The old Rule of thumb" was...... Correct me if I'm wrong...

30W From 0-50,000 Miles
40W From 50,000- 90,000 Miles
50W From 90,000 on to Boom Miles

Well....Well..... Well..... Did I pass????? Hu Hu Hu... Dont hold out on me now...
I'll Start a rumor...

 

i dont remember that chart. i run valvoline premium blue diesel. 15w-40. it is the factory fill for the doge cummins diesel 5.9.

 

I use that Weight in all my diesel stuff... With the exception of I run the Dello Brand...
You are smart to use that.... It has a great Cleaning agent in the oil to keep the engine clean internally.....

 

I say swap in a 5.9 magnum

yes i have seen on BITOG that Dello is a good oil. but dont go to BITOG any more. they dont know the difference between God and religion.
