How many miles do you have?
« on: August 10, 2010, 12:29:34 am »
I searched for a topic about this but couldn't find one...I currently have 146K on my 86...Found out my girlfriends dad has an 84 chevy with a 6.5 diesel in it with between 900k-1 million miles on it  :o. After retiring that he got an 01 ford F350 with 650K miles on it currently...

Who has the highest mileage on there truck here?

My 86 has almost 227,000 on it. Original motor trans, and front end. Tranfer case was replaced with a used one this past winter. Put a new used carrier in the rear end a few years ago.
Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs

my 91 sub V2500 has 217,000 on it with the original 5.7 and 4L80E trans and 3.73 axles.  The only thing i know of that has been replaced on the engine is the distributor, a/c compressor, power steering pump.   She still doesnt use oil--the only time I put oil in it is at oil changes.

MY old 87 had like 240K or so on it and its original 305 and 700r4.  Than both quit together... :)   MY current truck has just hit 120k this week,

...Found out my girlfriends dad has an 84 chevy with a 6.5 diesel in it with between 900k-1 million miles on it  Who has the highest mileage on there truck here?

What had the million miles on it, the truck or the motor?
I've had great luck with the 350 TBI motors, I've had a few of these with 200K+ on them and they still ran strong.

The truck has over a million, and the motor lasted for around 600K before it was rebuilt. As far as I know it still runs to this day even.

My uncle's '91 S-10 4 door blazer with a 4.3 was up to 312k, with about 230k of those being rural mail route miles. Still didn't burn any oil, transmission shifted tight, transfer case still worked great..but EVERY suspension component was just wore out, and the rockers were all gone. So it was retired, and none of its successors have survived as long. If the body were in better shape, he'd probably rebuild the suspension and put it back in service for another 300k..no doubt it'd make it.

Chris, you oughta take pics of the steps involved.  I am curious.  The worst part probably is dropping the tank to get to it. I hope you don't have a full tank.
