My 96 3.9 V6 magnum is about to roll over 328,000 miles without ever being rebuilt. It has only had regular maintenence. how many other vehicle owners out there can make that claim? Dang i love my truck!

Lol, woops I meant 1,000,000. Got carried away with the zero's. Should have just spelled it.

Lol, when I saw that said 100,000,000, i was like nope... there is no way that you could even drive that many miles in several years with non-stop driving... it would have to be like a 1970s...
But yeah, 1 million s still good.
I hit 154K the other day. I will be driving this truck when it hits 300k.

96 5.2 with 163k on it. i think the prev owner put a junk yard trans in it but it's all pulling strong and runs like a top.

i had a 91 ranger with a 3.0 that had 330k on the clock when i sold it. it still ran pretty fair. but it was to small and to weak for me now that i have kids and tow more often.

anything over 200k without any major work is good, anything over 300k (honda, toyota, VW don't count) is superb. It is amazing what just regular maintenance will do.

314k on my 89 Horizon and the tranny went.
650k on m 02 ram cummins.
180k on my 94 Dak.
A friend has a 92 olds 88 that has over 300k and a 98 F150 with 275K

They sure don't make them like they used to, thank goodness.
