Default High Milage club, how high can you go?

Ok, Where does your Dak rank in the high milage club, must have its original engine that hasnt been overhauled yet. My 88 is up to 215.020 right now, all loaded highway miles of its previous owner/friend of mine. Engine has never been opened up, just normal maintance. Transmission was gone thru last year when the clutch was replaced. Mike

Mine had 140k before I pulled it and it ran like a champ.


Highest V6 I've seen was over 440k.
