highest miles on a DD
98 4x4 3.9 I have 192,000 and change and runs like a top. Did have to do heater core and front end work but other than that just normal wear and tear stuff. Just bought a new Forte so it does sit some now although I usually drive truck to work.
5.2L V8, 5-Speed 4x4: 235,000 miles, Bought Brand New in 1999. Issues so far:
- 4 Transfer Cases: OEM lasted 100K, 2nd lasted 74K, 3rd 5K (don't think Jasper liked replaceing the 1st 1 for free under warranty) 4th one still working though my 4x4 indicator light no longer works
- 3 ABS sensors: Dual exhaust was run to close to sensor, kept melting it... Back to single now
- AC no longer works, Think it needs a recharge or new pump
- Steering is loose, probably time to check everything as the only thing that has been replaced is the power steering pump
- Brakes: Blew a brake line @ 200,000 while trying to stop @ a red light... Line replaced, now brakes seem soft (need to look into)
- Paint: What paint? started loosing clear coat a few years back, now the hood & roof have none
Overall though, I love the truck & I drive it hard.
