What is a dodge diesel engines average lifetime mileage?

The "Dodge" diesel is actually a Cummins heavy truck engine. With proper maintenance, it should last about 250,000 miles. The injectors will need replacing every 100,000 miles. I would say 500,000 is average for the engine. I do not agree about the injectors. The truck will wear out before the engine does.

How do you get the most money for your truck?

Detail the truck until it looks as good as it possibly can. Clean not only the exterior and interior, but under the hood. The cleaner the better. Wax the truck until it shines beautifully. Sell it to an individual in a private sale. Trading it in you will get wholesale. You will almost always get more in a private sale than a trade. Provide all maintenance records. Repair anything that needs it, so you can tell the prospective buyer that it needs no repairs. Be sure to change the oil & filter. If the transmission fluid has not been changed in the last 36,000 miles, change it before trying to sell. Tell the buyer verbally and in writing you are selling the truck "As-Is" with no warranty at all.

What is the Mpg of a 6.5 duramax diesel?

There is no such thing as a 6.5 duramax. The 6.5 diesel is not a duramax and the duramax is 6.6L. Mpg's always differ anyways, it depends on driving habits, maintenance upkeep, and miles on the truck. I get around 13mpg on average in the city and my truck has 220,000 miles on it.
