The fuel mileage is calculated based on throttle input and miles driven. With the "performance chip" installed it takes less throttle input to make power so it throws off the algorithm of the factory mileage calculator. As everyone has said this truck has been loved and appreciated. I can only imagine how nicely organized and maintained the previous owners tools are.

There's a reason why there's hundreds of times more million dodges than the rest and why there's 10 times as many dodges from the 90's on the road than fords or chevies (and dodge sold 1/10 of either of those brands). These are hands down the longest lasting trucks for those years. No idea about new trucks because I've never worked on them. In 94 to 02's the cummins engine, the transfer cases, the manual transmissions, and the axles and frames (edit and the front ends***) are the best you can get in a non commercial truck. The auto's easily were twice as good as a 4L60 or 80 and on par but seemingly longer lasting compared to the 4R100. Fords and chevies still had frames rot before the bodies making the trucks unusable in salt. Never seen a 4R100 past 200k though, but I've seen a couple dozen 46,47,and 48 re's well past 250 to 350k. The 02's to 2010's were different axles, transfer cases and went to the 48re and a common rail, still the best powertrain and frames money could buy, not even close,. Bodies were ugly as shit and paper thin steel too. 7.3 ford was a distant second. But i'd buy a 7.3 right now for a good price. I can't break mine and my trucks stay matted.

Stop and go driving isn't that hard either. There are cabs, delivery vans, police cars and tow trucks with a 1,000,000 miles racked up, and much of what they do is city driving and tons of idling. What kills engines is lack of proper maintenance, sitting, cold starts, heat soak and hard RPM.

The previous owner definitely took incredible care of this truck. Impressive, to say the least.

I love seeing videos like this that showcase what good ownership and maintenance can do for a vehicle! I myself own a 2006 bmw 325 with over 200k miles and I am trying to break the stigma of “unreliable bmws with expensive maintenance”. I learned how to do oil changes myself and other regular maintenance as well on this specific car. It’s not about the car, but in most cases it’s how you take care of it!

Flushed and replaced filter, ran 10 miles, rinse and repeat 2 more times. That was 60,000 miles ago, still strong. 2nd Cummins since 1995, (currently a 2006) over 500,000 each. Never touched a turbo, transfer case, or differential. AC compressors, Brakes and rotors, Blend door, and one evaporator. One of the compressors internally imploded, elected to change every component (condenser, evaporator, hoses, and compressor) for fear of contamination. Also injectors about every 250,000.

Thanks for the video sir, it looks like it's in nice shape. My pickup is an '03 with less than 100,000 miles on it, so it's good to know it might have some life in it yet. I see the previous owner changed out the hose between the airbox and the turbo, that helps some for sure. Mine had death wobble, but we rebuilt some of the front end using '08 parts which are larger, keep on top of the ball joints and also run fairly good front tires which seems to help. Lastly, keep an eye on the front drive shaft as it's a bit of a consumable item and if it lets go it's messy and costly. I've had mine rebuilt twice in those miles, but we do lots of 4x4 use with it. Hope that was useful for you or someone out there.

Just curious, did it have a lift kit on the front end? I have had 2 2500's since 1995. Gave the first one to my son in 2006 when I bought a 4 wheel drive one. Still driving it way north of 300,000. Neither truck ever showed any sign of a death wobble.

@@meko1896 It has a 2" leveling kit, so technically yes, but not much of a one. About a third of the folks I talk to up here with that year series - 03, 04, 04½ get death wobble. Nobody seems to know exactly why, but knock on wood mine has been behaving for about 5 years now.

This is a testament to American truck durability and how proper maintenance will keep a rig running fine for ages.

Can’t believe everyone in the comments isn’t like “I’m sure it’s been through 10 transmissions”. All about how you take care of it and do regular maintenance. Awesome truck 👍

When I was a development engineer I worked on the truck version of that engine (on the Italian FPT version that goes into CNH tractors actually) and it is a beast... it is designed for heavy duty operation on a farm tractor with plows and balers, or on a heavy truck loaded with tons of goods. A RAM is nothing for it, it can do 3 million miles! 1 million is nothing for this beast, trust me...

I'm SO impressed by this truck, at least so far. ..and boy do i have love for vehicles that make it that far, and the owners who have taken such good care of them.

What a great purchase! Extremely clean for such age and miles. Congrats!

Hey tyler!! I've got a 2006 Nissan xterra 4wd 6 speed manual. Its got 405k miles and still drives awesome. Stock clutch. Stock motor never been opened up. We have had it since new in 06 and have every record of anything it ever needed or had done. I feel like it'd make a great episode for you. Anybody I ever tell about it is shocked.

I love stories like this! I don't care what brand car or truck. It's always so fricking cool to see the payoff of good maintenance. You gotta wonder how many farts that seat has seen but then again the way that was maintained he probably stopped the truck & got out to fart. It is shocking to me that the previous owner wouldn't have wanted to turn it over to 1 million after all that work of getting it this far.

When Canada's speed limits went metric in the mid to late 70s, our cars were sold with 5 digit metric odometers, meaning that they would roll over at the equivalent of 62,000 miles (100,000 km). Had the owner rolled this truck's odo over, it would have been easy to sell it as a 17 year old "low mileage" truck given its condition, if the buyer did not ask for a Carfax.

The previous owner clearly cared about the truck. Amazing condition for its age, especially given how those trucks weren't known for quality.

I would love to own this, this is so bad ass, I was scared to buy a cummins with more then like 220k miles, this has opened my mind, I'm impressed

Awesome episode and very refreshing. I agree with those who are excited it's not another German money-pit, and the Dodge being in such great shape and with that many miles is a testament to the brand, engine, and previous owner! But we all know it won't last. How many updates can we truly expect that go like this "Ram still running flawlessly..... so I had to get rid of it and buy this rare twin-turbo Alipina!"

Whenever I’m having a shitty day a hoovies garage video always cheers me up.

Views on views!!!! Hahahaha love the second colab with the Utah crew! I hope Oscar didn’t pee on the new truck too much 😂 you should totally drive down to see Freddy and do a drag race against the million mile Lexus. Or even better get one more million mile vehicle and do a “3 million mile” car trek special!!! be well Mr Hoover 🙏

I have a ‘07 6.7 cummins deleted. I love it! Gobs of power and a 6 speed transmission. Mine is the mega-cab with a 4” lift on 22” wheels, with a shell. It’s a looker!

20 years ago when I started working in the oilfield we had a 92 Dodge 1 ton dually that the odometer quit working at around 720000 miles and it had quit working a couple of years before I started. I think when retired an old farmer bought it and I wouldn't be surprised if it still on the road. We currently have a fleet of real hotshot trucks (not saying this one wasn't but it looks more like a truck used to hotshot lighter loads between vendors and hasn't seen many active drilling/production locations plus a single axle one ton hotshot truck isn't ideal for the weight of loads that are typically hauled to active drilling/production locations) and there is no way anyone is getting a million miles out of the new trucks. The customer always under estimates the weight of the loads by thousands of pounds wearing out just about everything and the new emissions typically repetitively fail making it cost prohibited to keep fixing. We generally retire our hotshots around the 300,000 mark. I think it possible to get more miles out of them but our hotshot trucks spend more time on dirt/gravel loads then pavement. Hauling lighter loads at highway speeds on pavement one could probably get over the 500,000 mark pretty easy.

Nothing makes me more happy than a KZread collaboration. OMG.

Love this, my 3ltr i6 diesel bmw is only on 185k and it is fantastic. I can’t wait to see what happens with this truck, high mileage will never put me off again. In England nobody keeps a vehicle past 100k it’s almost unheard of but with the correct maintenance any engine can do this mileage.

You got yourself a nice truck there. I would hold onto it. Looks very well maintained. I would at least have the wizard check out the transmission. I know these were a common failure point after seeing my uncle go through a couple with his 06 megacab. But a stage 4 transmission fixed that issue.

Whether its an early intercooled 7.3 PS, or 5.9 cummins, it warms my heart to still see these rigs pulling stock and loading up the miles. Although being a Ford fan myself, its pretty uncommon for the 7.3s to be at that 500k+ mark. Really humbling to see a 'clean' example cummins with so many miles.
