Mine has 168k
Ive had to replace my belt, thermostat, replaced my exhaust from catalyct converter to the tail pipe. the most expensive part i had to replace was my transfer case other than that it still runs like a champ..

It's been almost 1 year since I posted on this topic... My D has now 130K on it and my total repair bill is approx. $5000 LOL
Maybe it didn't need that much repair but I'm a perfectionist
and I want every little detail to be ok on my baby...
here's my baby;
and here's the repair list;
though transmission seems a bit sloppy since I bought the car but I don't think it's gonna be a problem for a long time. It just slips when switching from 3rd gear to 4th gear sometimes but corrects itself immediately after doing it, not a big deal.

got 229333 on our 1998 5.2L.
smokes a little at startup, but still runs for now,
dont plan on dropping alot of money into it if it is major, will let it die slowly. we got it cheap, so if it makes it another 9 months, im happy as heck. it runs like a top, other than the slight smoking.

Our 98 5.9L will very soon roll over to 389,000 miles. We've had to do some work but nothing too major. Proud of her as she still purrs like a kitten! Shooting for 500,000+!
