144,000 on my 94 SLT 3.9 Club Cab. Just put a new A/C compressor in it. Ice-cold and nice!
Has a slight timing chain "ticking," but runs great so, I'm not going to sweat fixing that right now. It IS however, next on my list.
Has a couple of electrical issues...dash lights and an interior lights gremlin that I haven't addressed yet because it's been so hot down here. I'll wait till it cools off a bit before I get back on those.
I get around 380 miles to a tank....16 to 19 mpg...combination driving, excellent oil pressure and the temp gauge rarely gets above halfway.

'92 3.9V6 5MT, 136K on the clock and I'm the fourth owner (the second and third were a father/son combo). Runs great, I get 15-17MPG around town depending how many ricers **** me off and how much stop-go traffic I hit going to work, haven't highway tested it yet.
Has one problem before inspection and that's the MAINT REQ'D light, I'm pulling the bulb before inspection to solve it. Needs a rocker panel and a muffler above all else.

1990 200K, original engine, not even had valve covers off to replace leaking gaskets, trans replaced under warranty at 30K, water pump, radiator and fuel pump changed. Everything else pretty much original equipment.

Oh, so that I'm not too far off the subject of discussion:
'93 LE Club Cab 5.2L 4x4, 158,000 on the ticker and still going. T-case rebuilt last year, other than that, just basic maintenance and repairs...knocking off 16-17mpg combined.
