1997 Dodge Cummins 5.9L automatic has 379,XXX miles on it. Is it barley broke in, overly broke in?

Like any other engine, maintenance is key. A diesel engine can run longer than a gas engine but if it's not properly maintained, it won't make a bit of difference. I've seen those Cummins engines go 500,000 miles then get overhauled and go 500,000 more and I've seen them last less than 100,000. Ask to see maintenance records.

ah h*ll no i say i say ah H*LL NO. get dafuq away from that thing. i am not sure if this is a real question or not. if any vehicle has that many miles you need to back off. i am surprised it even ran that long. ok so if a vehicle has 100,000 miles it is medium, it is about half way through its life. if it gets to 180 it is nearing death (death is when $hit just starts breaking and you can keep it running with out dumping an a$$ load of money in it). if a truck has 200,000 miles on it it is ready to die (with the exception of the toyota 22re, they usually run in to the 260,000) so to answer your question DON"T BUY IT!!

And like everyone says it is all about maintenance. Done wrenching is convinced you can make a diesel run forever. You can but it takes an incredible amount of money and dedication he is odvoiusly not done being an idiot because he forgot everything else will wear out as well. Those trannys don't run forever the bearings and the belts don't either. Nor do the wires, hoses, and pumps. The fuel pumps and the power steering pumps like to give up at around 250,000 miles. Don't forget the rubbers and the axles. The rear axle will need gone through the cv axles will eventually need replaced. So unless you done get a box full of receipts don't be stupid and waste you money. Not to mention Chrysler made tons of those trucks you'll find another one. Here is this great web sit called Craig's List. The address is www.craigslist.com. Just click on the location that is closest to you and you can literally find thousands of vehicles.

like a couple of people said on here its about maintenance i had a 1985 dodge Dakota with 780000 miles on it and it was towing horse trailers, cars,and suvs like it just came out of the factory so its all about maintenance just make sure to check for rust under the truck make sure the floor pans are hard and not soft due to rust

I'd be concerned about rust, not the high resale value cummins. Don't listen to the one track minded tundra boy. I used my 200k dakota to haul home a lesser mile toyota camry with bad engine. IT'S ABOUT MAINTAINING what ya got.

Lot of miles on that 360 motor
