Who has the highest Miles on an OEM 4.0L...no head/cylinder work.

[ExTankerGuy]

Finally getting the motor broken in....

And yes, I wheel it!

NO REBUILD....Pennzoil 20-50. Change the oil EVERY 3,000 or 3 months, whichever comes first! (and NO props to Chrysler-mine is an AMC product!)

1987 with 171k, 18.5 MPG. Yeah it's the baby of the bunch.

I think I got ya' beat there, slick... 1988 w/ 168k...

Anyone original that's older than 18 years with less than that on no rebuild/overhaul?

 

[CanMan]

Bought it with 200K on the clock, now its got 202K a couple weeks later.

Hi,

Boy, I am impressed, I knew there was a reason I loved this vehicle. All those numbers give me reassurance, that with the regular maintenance I give it that the far side of 250k is possible. I have 114k on my '01 and it runs like the day I bought it with 11k. It has been in traffic in Manhattan, and the LIE and has been through whiteouts in Buffalo in January. I wheel it occasionally, but it is bone stock with a K&N cold air intake system. I know its a baby, but thats ok---doesn't leak or burn anything and I run 5w all year round. Thanks for letting me post here guys! My mechanic said the trannys are designed for 400k, any truth to that with regular maintenance? It will rot before it dies. Great thread!!

[luvme88xj]

bought my 88 with 196k on it. T-bone a civic around 198k, pounded out the parts that were rubbing the tires. picked some parts up off the ground, threw them in the back and drove it home. bought an 84 for parts with the insurance check and replaced the damaged front clip. just repainted her and gave her a 3" bastastard lift. ran 18 qts of oil through it 2 weeks ago and now it doesn't tick and click after i shut it off.

You pretty much doubled my waggys milage, i'm at 155150 miles give or take, just qouted you because you are the only other person i have ever seen with the same color wagoneer as me, i am assuming its an 85 or 87 because it is an AMC

This Pic Is from about a month ago so the milage is alittle bit higher, pretty god milage for an 87 i would think, although the engine wants to run like it has double the miles on it. Me and my dad just replace the front crankcase seal, trans. lines and the harmonic balancer but it sounds better then half the kids cars at my school so i can't complain. . .
