Planning a cross country trip in July--Maine to CA to do the Rubicon and then drive back--approx. 8,000 miles round trip. My biggest concern is the engine--I've put the last 30K on it w/no problems and it runs strong but still, 170K is a lot of miles (and who know about the first 145K?). Looking for opinions as to preventative and/or diagnostic steps to take to help avoid catestrophic engine failure 4,000 miles from home.
Oil pressure at idle is around 38 lbs.
Hoses 1.5 y/o
Serp belt 1 y/o
3 Core rad 1 y/o
Plugs, coil, cap/rotor 1 y/o
Batt 1 y/o
I have a full set of spare sensors, in case one of them craps out.
I do have a spare 4.0 w/140K miles, but that would be a bit cumbersome to bring along ;-)
I have priced out vehicle shipping companies and it is approx. $1,500 to ship from CA to Maine, so would really like to avoid that!
