how many miles are on your guys v6's

Trade you straight across

 

Just hit 10,900 on my 04

 

127k on my 3.4 and 289k on my 4 banger

 

130,000 miles on my 2000 SR5 4x4 3.4L. Bought it 5 years ago, I'm the 2nd owner.

Had to replace the clutch, leaf springs, tires, and had a few tune ups. Twice I had problems with my Thermal Position Sensor.

 

78k on my 03, 3.4 DC....

 

Was your truck hiding in a barn for the last 12 years? Im gonna need to see a picture of your odometer.....

 

264,000 miles on my 98

 

Just turned 126k

 

193K on my 04

 

43,XXX

 

I have 133K on my 05 and its running strong. Not a first gen though.

 

335K KMs, which is like 208K miles. Just breaking in the engine now.

 

182k

 

151k. Just put on a new starter since the shop that put in my last one put a faulty one in that failed in a year. Truck runs like a champ.

 

sorry didn't realize this was 1st gen.

 

170,000.
Original plugs and wires just recently changed.
One bad coil.
2 universals.
Needs axle seals.
New Frame, passed one inspection but local dealer failed it. I was happy I took it to them instead.
Always use Mobile1 extended Full Synthetic because I love her!

 

192,000+

Literally, I've only replaced my back-up light switch on my manual transmission, twice - I think it's because of my boat which has a substantial brake system. Also, I've replaced one O2 sensor. I happen to think that coincided with me running two back-to-back treatments of Lucas Fuel System cleaner.

I've done all of my regular maintenance when it was required: timing belt, accessory belts, water pump, t-stat, radiator hoses, fuel filter, PCV valve, plugs, wires, air filter, Amsoil synthetics, brake fluid changes, brakes, pads, shoes, drums, rotors.

 

180k runs like a champ

 

Its all good. Just note that u got a 2nd gen

 

Bought with blown head gasket. It ran so well, I thought I was getting a mosquito spraying truck. ( except for all the extra water in the oil!) I actually drove it on the trailer when we picked it up. It had about 1 1/2 to 2 quarts of water in the oil when I picked it up. I changed gaskets, resurfaced the heads and had the valve seats ground. Had 209,000 on it and I've put about 200 miles on it since the repair. This truck was NOT properly maintained, but it seems to be doing really good so far. I'm into it right now for about $1000 for the repairs. Other than the heads and gasket kit. the only things I've replaced is the Idle Air Control valve, a battery clamp ( to replace the vise grips that was being used ) and an $8 spectra coupler to repair the damaged air intake tube. I think that these 5VZ motors are pretty SOLID!
My suggestion would be have a compression test performed and the rest is pretty much small stuff. These guys know where to get the best prices on parts. Even though these are not cheap engines to work on, most of the expensive stuff holds up well. And I believe the 1st gens have a more nostalgic look too.

I need to get some experienced advice on an overheating issue that I can't seem to resolve. Would someone be so kind as to direct me to the correct place to ask for technical guidance?
