My diesel has 110k on it. Engine maintenance has been 0 but I've had some front end work and a new clutch.
Every Dodge needs front end work sooner or later, mostly sooner. When they had the mechanical lift pump, mine went out often. When it did the Injector pump usually trashed. Now I guess that pump is electric.
I have 145 K on mine.So far 3 sets of front brake pads, 1 clutch ,one hydraulic clutch actuator, one alternator, two lift pumps, three injector pumps ( one was rebuild), I replaced the lift pump with a FASS system. Had the valves adjusted. Replaced the serpentine belt. Oil changes alone run $69 DYI and that is with Rotella.Heck a lot more with synthetic
All that was about $10K. My buddy has an 03 and his injectors cost him about $6K. Unless you pull hard more than 50%of the time, there is no way to justify a diesel..
I do tend to work my truck hard most of the time
