It all depends on the conditions in which you run the engine how you service it. if you do all your regular serviceing i have seen the with over 800k on the original engine and still going strong and i have worked at a Dodge dealer for 5 years. i have also seen some that have not been looked after not make it to 150k. with proper maintnce the engine will be the last thing to go on those trucks.

How is a submarine powered?
Modern submarines are powered by a nuclear reactor. Others are powered by diesel engines while they are on the surface and batteries while they are submerged. The older ones that were powered by diesel and batteries had their limitations. While they were on the surface running on diesel engines they left a trail of exhaust smoke which gave away their position. When they were submerged and running on batteries they could only last so long and then they had to come to the surface, run the diesel engines and recharge the batteries. The submarines that are run by nuclear power do not have to resurface for a very, very long time.
