Well, i started this post about 2.5 yrs ago on this site at about 147k miles on the clock and updated at milestones. Today was a milestone. Even though non-technical, it is informative and i hope is well-received.

I rolled 205k on my '94 this morning. :icon_thumby:

Stats: '94 XLT 3.0L, 5-spd, 2wd long-bed. No modifications. I purchased mine in Nov '01 with 70k miles and to date have replaced 1 clutch, 1 set of brake pads, 1 IAC, 1 water pump & radiator, 2 sets of tires, and lots and lots of oil filters and oil.

So, how many miles on your 3.0 ?:icon_bounceblue:

113K, no real repairs other than the cam synchronizer & sensor and routine maintenance.
Needs a/c work though, since the freon leaks out after a few weeks.

1997 3.0L, automatic

98k+. Bought used ten months ago at 74k. No mechanical problems, and all electrical problems were from previous owner's butchery.

143k on my '92. Auto tranny went out at 94k (friend bought it with a bad tranny), he had it rebuilt, and drove it till 127k when it went out again, I bought it and put a 5spd in and have been driving it since. When I got it it burned a quart of oil ever 2k miles, now it burns a quart every 1-1.5k miles :dunno:

'93, 4x4, 5 speed.

besides normal wear items...the only problem ive had was an over zealous lifter that bent a valve. truck runs and drives great (i LOVE cruising in it). smooth engine, nice exhaust note, tight steering. most people are surprised when i tell them its a '93. oil consumption is about 1.5 quarts between oil changes. was a little worse when i got it, but valve seals helped. needs paint in a bad manner.

My '02 has 122,000, When I got her at 112,000 she needed a coil pack and I did new plugs and wires too. The guy I got the truck from works for my dad and the only problem he had was a miss from the bad coil.

My motor dose have a noisy lifter in the morning and the cam syncro squeaks once in a while. But in my motors defence the previous owner didnt keep up on maintenance, I remember a year ago before he was thinking about selling the truck he was telling me he really needed an oil change. I asked him the last time it had one and he said about 8,000 mi ago.
