what miles you got?

davis8008 · 06-06-2013, 19:07

I keep hearing people say the 2.7 engine is bomb proof, and will go for half a million miles. ....... but I've never came across one with that many! just wondering what sort of miles yo trucks have got or what high milage ones have you came across? mines just done 114000 and slowly more and more things are going wrong with it

I've got 145,000, uses no oil, goes like stink and very seldom goes wrong (in four years it's let me down twice, once with a broken fan belt and the other with a foofed ignition switch!)

149k

Replaced half the truck

But the engine internals and head gasket are all original. It uses no oil, no smoke whatsoever and as above, it goes like stink

96terrano · 06-06-2013, 20:34

165k still going fine

ste68blue · 06-06-2013, 21:00

Sorry guys....172000 and still going strong, no smoke and no oil used and i have to say i dont service it particularly regular.

I would also like to say it is a cracking motor and i am very impressed with both on and off road performance.

I suspect mine will need a little bit of welding at the end of the year for the next MOT, but nothing that cant be fixed.

R1cho · 06-06-2013, 21:03

the old truck before it had its little welding accident was on 242k miles this one is on just over 100k

JimE · 06-06-2013, 21:03

124k on mine, runs well.. no known problems.... could be hundreds of unknown ones

MudLifeCrisis · 06-06-2013, 21:15

161k been standing since February but just started first time :-)

vince · 06-06-2013, 21:19

mine just rolled over to 160,000 today. but i suspect it was run without a speedo cable for a long while as old mots show it doing about 50-100 miles between tests but there are reciepts for consumables??!!?? still running and uses no engine oil.

davis8008 · 06-06-2013, 21:43

im abit worried about the fact none of your trucks go through oil, im topping mine up every 6-8 weeks it's normally half way down the dipstick and it uses water to, i have to top my anti freez up ever two weeks or so.....
