That's more than enough for a trip to the Moon.
My 1985 Nissan pickup was still running strong at 235 K. |
|
My sister has a Corolla with 265,000 on the odo and it still runs!

I have had three Nissan 4x4 P/Us over the last 12 years, all never gave me one bit of trouble over a few hundred thousand miles. Have a Toyota Tacoma 4x4 now and it should last awhile itself

My boss has 270K on his T100. Still runs fine and he still puts 30+k a year on the road. The transmission has the original fluid. Timing belt has been replace once at 150K and he changes the oil every 10 to 15K.

It just took 5 miles to get it to that |

I don't have a pic but I've got a 98 Kenworth with 1,789,567 with one engine rebuild so far and getting ready for the second.

Jeez I guess my 2001 isn't as worn out as I thought with 22k miles on it
|
|
I had a picture of the maxima I bought in college when it hit 350k. I wish I could find it. :/

I had a Nissan Stanza Wagon a 1987 if I remember correctly. It looked like a minivan wit 2 sliding doors. It had just turned over on 100,000 when my cousin gave it to me after sitting about 18 months. He said the front end was about to fall out of it and the computer was out making it run rough. A can of heat in the 18 month old gas fixed the computer problem and a new tire fixed the front end. The thing had 3 tires with less than 500 miles on it.Why the moron only bought 3, I'll never know.It had 299,987 miles on it when the tree fell on it. |

I should have taken the pic the day I got it. |

GMC 1500 at 431k. I've posted a photo I took when it was at 425, but can't be arsed to find it atm.

Wow, I have a 1996 Explorer with 230K+ on it. Original engine, drivetrain, etc. I will admit that it's going to need some work before summer, but she still rolls down the road. I put 1000 miles on it in the last 5 days.
Will try to get some pics tomorrow. |
|
I had 118,700 today.
ETA in my '97 Explorer. The bastard was nearly perfect mechanically up until about 100,000 miles, then the tranny went out (not a big suprise) and now I am having 4WD/drivetrain issues. That, and the fucking heater won't work, and will cost $1000 to fix (fuckers at Ford screwed it up in the first place by putting the wrong part in the blender door box when they built the truck). FUCK, no more Fords. |
|
I had a '96 KW T600? A little over 900,00 no rebuilds, tranny finnally let loose. That Detroit Series 60 still ran great!! Travis |

This may be slightly off topic, but i wonder on average how many revolutions an enginie goes through in 100k miles. Obviously there are gearing differences, etc..., but I wonder what the average is.

enigma2yOu:
Well, let's see. Probably an average of 2k rpm. A car probably averages about 20 mph over it's life span. 2,000 rpm, 60 minutes in an hour =120,000 revolutions per 20 miles. 5,000 segments of 20 miles each equalling 100k miles. 120,000 X 5,000 =600,000,000. That's my guess. Six hundred million revolutions per 100k miles. Give or take 10 to 15 revolutions |
|
|
now that is funny. I would guess that the average MPH would be a bit higher, like 30 or so, but lets just say your right. Isn't it damn crazy that we are able to make an engine do over a billion revolutions without a glitch. I think it is. I know some of you will say, "duh, there is oil to help and stuff", but regardless, I think it is pretty neat. |

interesting how like most of these high mileage vehicles are not US cars...
|
|
That's an average of 25 miles an hour for 8 years. Your truck is almost catching up to Stgra15's mouth! |
|
|
A few guys that worked for had high mileage: 82 Volvo 240 480K, 88 C10 Chevy 288k and 92 Honda with 311K.

When my dad gave his 71 Plymouth Valiant (318 V8, 3-spd manual) to my cousin about 10 yrs ago, it had about 308k on it. My cousin still drives it once in a while. |
