I checked the hour meter on my Cummins against the miles on my Ram, and it worked out to an average up just under 50 miles per hour of run time, which is pretty high, but I was doin' a lot of highway miles at the time. In a discussion about that, most folks reported numbers more in the high 20s, low 30s in normal mixked driving, if that gives you any sense. Call it 30 and that puts you at 195k.

But that kind of exposes the problem with comparing hours to miles. Booth good things to know, but neither one is definitive for what kind of weatr ther's been on the motor. There is somewhere some optimum between high hours and lots of work. I'd rather have my Cummins than one that had spent so much time idling that it worked out to an average of ten miles per running hour.
