     Congratulations Rob! Any sage advice for keeping a truck running true
     that long?

     <<My '89 Dakota LE 4x4 just broke 200,000 miles on the way home from
     work! It
     was kind of nice to see the 2 finally roll around. 200K reliable
     miles, of
     which I drove 99%. The only time it would not start was once due to a
     dead
     battery. Otherwise, the truck has never let me down (or broke down)
     through
     snow (blizzard), water (up to bottom of doors), sand (beaches) or any
     terrain (NJ roads). The last time it was in for service at the dealer
     was
     at 40K for an antilock computer. I love this truck, but now it is
     time to
     pass it on to my brother. I have just been holding on to it to say
     that I
     owned it till 200K. He has been dying to buy it from me. Now it is
     time to
     use my '96 Ram which I bought two years ago but rarely use (honestly
     the Dak
     is more fun to drive) Hopefully it will give me the same great
     service my
     Dak did.

     Thanks,
