I've yet to hear of a Dodge 2500/3500 front end lasting 150k, 90-100k is the norm and that's for freeway use. My '06 needed the rebuild at 100k, both front hubs, ball joints et al. If my use was lots of offroad and/or plowing I would consider that reasonable, but it was 95+% highway and in town use. I almost lost a front wheel when the passenger side front hub bearings went South. I noticed a slight vibration when I got on he highway, after a couple miles the vibration got worse and when I pulled to the shoulder my wheel was held on by one of eight lugs, the rest had sheared off. Fortunately I was in town when it happened, there are areas I regularly drive where I would have had no shoulder to pull off on and 200 mile tow bill.
I'd think 150-200k would be a reasonable life for paved highway use.

My 08 needed new tie rod ends at about 100k. I'm just under 110k now. So far the ball joints & wheel bearings are ok. This announcement is subject to change.

248k on my '03 before I replaced ball joints, drag link and steering box. Replaced shocks about every 100k. I had stock wheels and tires and kept them well balanced. Sold it at 298k and all was good. Replaced the steering box due to internal wear. Too much play on center.

My 07 5.9 had the front drive shaft fail, just past 50K. 2 of the 3 u joints and the centering ball was shot. Assembled with no grease to speak of. It now has grease-able u joints of a better quality.
