Today my daily driver, a 2000 Toyota Tacoma, flipped over to 100,000 miles :grin: Other than the fact it just lost a lot of value, I am happy as it has only been to the dealership twice for warranty work in its whole five years of existance. Here's my odo taking the plunge:
Dude, your going 70 mph!! Stop taking pictures and watch the road. :TU: Just kidding, now that you have 100k on it you might as well keep it.
I keep it properly serviced; oil change, tire rotate, fuel filter, diff, trans flush, timing belt, etc. The only two times it had a problem were when the steering wheel plastic started detaching from the inner steering wheel rubber (warranty), and the water pump leaking (warranty). Got a $300 value timing belt change for $30 since they had to pull the timing cover anyway :laugh:
About to leave work. My 97 GMC Safari is sitting out in the lot with exactly 150K. Turned as I parked it coming back from lunch.
The GM 4.3 Liter Engine turned out to be quite the reliable engine. My dad has one in a Jimmy with like 250k on it. The 4L60E transmission on the other hand, well, I haven't heard that many high mileage stories out of those. :bglasses:
I had two different GS's years apart, that turned over the century mark in pretty much the exact same spot ( going under a bridge nearby) :eek2: And we had an evil odometer in Da Wagon on the way to a car show this last sunday :eek2: D.
