    I had to pull over on the interstate in the pouring rain to get this pic, but dammit I waited a long time and wasn't going to let it get away!

    Happy to say my truck runs pretty much like it was brand new. I do have a couple dash lights out though, as you can see ...
    :D

    wow that's awesome! Congrats. I'd be interested to know what kind of repairs you've had to make, i.e. transmission rebuild....anything like that?

    Thanks!!

    Believe it or not, the only "repair" I've ever had to make was a new power steering pump at around 100K miles. Other than that, it's been just oil changes (every 3,000), brakes, plugs & wires ... regular maintenance stuff like that. Nothing but the power steering pump ever "broke" ... and all it actually did was leak a little.

    I'm on your a$$ at 241,000+

    I have replaced a few things. Both O2 sensors, exhaust 2 or three times (salt, rust, etc...) half shaft from torn boot (my own fault) and belts two times. This weekend it gets a new fuel filter and remanufactured fuel injectors to see if I can smooth out my idle. Love this truck....

    Looking to get a new paint job shortly. Wish I knew a decent painter that doesn't charge an arm and a leg.

    I am shooting for 400K - lol

    Just wondering how many of you guys with over 300,000 miles or close to it have ever had your valve lash adjusted. This mainly is for the people with the 2rz/3rz engines, since they seem more prone to burn a valve.

    Never adjusted the valves. I have the 3rz motor. I should look into that. The motor is pretty quiet except when it's really cold. You'll hear a little clatter until the oil gets warm.
