update 391000 miles (not KM ) IN SHOP for leaking rear axles

 

2000 4dr w/ 208K. all the usual problems...

 

had a 95 i used for work that had 320,xxx when we SOLD it. still running. i havent seen it around since, but it would still spin the tires on dry pavement!!

 

Looks like Mr. VLS is the high-mile champ of this thread at 430k!! WOW! Congrats on that milestone!

With our transplanted engine at somewhere around 160k, I yanked it to fix all the irritating & expensive oil leaks. Did everything except the one year old intake manifold gaskets, which I reused (Fel-Pro) - valve seals, crank seal, rear main seal, timing cover gasket, exhaust manifold gaskets, head gaskets, pan gasket and valve cover gaskets are all new Fel-Pro.

While I had the heads off, I checked out the cylinders - they look great! No ridge at the top either. Can still see the factory crosshatch pattern after all these years. So, while it was out and apart, I installed a Crane Cams timing chain (like 5x the size of the factory one), and a new Melling OEM pressure oil pump and screen. Now this engine should be good to 300k + I would think.

We're at about 165k on that engine now.

 

Almost 196k now.

 

103,000km

 

We should turn this into a poll

 

Would be too general.

 

156,000 on 1988 Blazer 4x4, Sold it but still running good.
178,000 on my 1997 Blazer 4x4 My daily driver
535,000 on a 1993 S-10, 2.8 w/manual tranny. Was the original owner and had 2 miles on her when purchased. No major mechanical issues just a worn out water pump and alternator. Was still running strong but a mishap with a 5-gallon gas can in the bed sparked a fire and she went out viking style

 

WOW I think that's the new record! Over half a million miles! Surprised to see those miles out of a 2.8 - usually something in the valve train breaks - at least that's been my experience. Certainly not many make it that long!
