    Last night I hit 200,000 miles! But my left knee is so thrashed I can barely shift any longer. Hate to get rid of it. The 2.4 engine is so sweet it does not burn one drop of oil between oil changes (if I hadn't seen it for myself I wouldn't believe it).

    Last auto trans car I had was a Saturn wagon that went into "limp mode", thought I was done with automatics forever. Hope my knee will heal up so I can keep this truck. I fully planned to go 500,000 miles and beyond driving all over the Northwest when I retire.

    Please send good vibes to my old withered knee lolz.

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    Why not get your knee fixed ??

    I trusted a Doctor 25 years ago that my hip was unable to be fixed joint repair has advanced very much in 25 years.

    Good Luck.

    Thanks. Hopefully after surgery things may improve where I don't aggravate the damn left knee over & over.

    2.4 motor is the best man. I do have the 3.4 and I like it for certain reasons, but that 2rz never let me down when I had one. Really great motors.
