I have 330,000 on a stock ctd. At this milage I am reluctant to do mods as my brother who was a diesel mechanic in the Navy said any thing over 300,000 miles would be like doing a top end and not touching the bottom. At your milage doing mods would be good since like others have stated it is not even broke in yet.

Shoot anything under about 500-700 thousand miles is safe to mod... You got to have a chat with CaJFlynn with his 2001 Dodge Cummins and past the 900K mark and going for the 1 MIL!!! :woot: Mild mods are fine as long as you treat the truck right... But if you go out to thrash on it daily of course it will fail soon...

I heard a lot of people say that about my truck when the head gasket blew at 500k miles. I changed the gasket anyway and it worked out for me. I now have over 900k miles and I am looking at a new turbo. I am more concerned about my transmission handling it than the motor.

Well right now I've got 230k and I'm not worried one bit about adding performance parts. I take good care of my truck and treat it right. But when I want to play, I do!!:thumbup2:Planning to add twins down the road along with a possible p-pump. I'll leave the internals along expect with valve springs, head studs, pushrods, and cam!:thumbup2:
