i had an old 95 for a work truck. it had 320,xxx on it when i sold it. still ran, but i needed injectors. i always drove the **** out of the thing. regular oil changes and maintenance. it wouldnt die. i drove it back from oregon to southern cali after i lost overdrive in the trans. set the tach around 3800-4000 and let her eat. didnt give me any other problems beside the terrible gas mileage...but i guess thats to be expected at that kind of engine speed. but it ran good....then.
