    My 1995 4x4 Auto x-cab 3.9L Dakota has 130,000. Same transmission and engine it left with new. Engine is losing power (not that it had a lot to begin with) but still runs great. I'd bet the truck has another 70,000 miles left on it for sure. Trans prob wont last that long tho.

    '99 RT Dakota Club Cab - 5.9L 19k miles- no problems, bought back by DC due to towing issue-- No owned by another ZONER, not sure where.

    '00 RT Dakota Club Cab - 5.9L 58.5k miles- transmission failure at 56k miles (2nd gear band/drum wasted)-- puts 256hp to the rear wheels.

    '71 Plymouth Satellite Brougham - 6.6L 99.5k miles- engine rebuilt at 99k miles due to deteriorating freeze plugs, valve job. Soon to be my daily driver.

    '72 Plymouth Satellite Special -5.2L 149k miles- new longblock @ 100k, Crower Cam, Edlebrock intake/carb, dual exhaust.. Oh yeah, and it's a Stationwagon!!! Brady bunch look alike!

    My '86 Toyota had 180,000 miles on the original 22R engine when it was stolen and stripped to the bone a few years ago. It had 130,000 when I bought it, and the other 50,000 were sheer torture on that machine - I ran a lot of harsh off-road trails, high rpm highway runs (4.56 gears plus 33" AT's meant 75mph was revvin!), and general stuntman-like mayhem. Never had a problem with the drivetrain and I towed a LOT of jeeps/chevys/fords/nissans out of the muck.

    My 93 had 215000 when I swapped engines. The onlky reason I swapped engines was because I couldn't find any heads for sale in my area and a newer engine would have been quicker and cheaper than rebuilding the original heads (timing chain was thrown and bent the valve train)

    I work with a guy that has 300,000 on his 96 Dak with V6 and his brother has over 300,000 on his V6 Dak. One burns alot of oil the other one does not burn a drop the one that burns oil was bought used off a farmer.Both Dak's have their original engine and transmissions with no overhauls. I have personaly seen 1000's of Toyota's and BMW's go well past 200,000.
