Depends on what kind of shape the flux capacitors are in, I would have them looked at. If they are in good shape, I wouldn't be surprised to see 1,000,000 miles.


Sorry, had to say it. Just not sure how to answer questions like this. If I had to, I would say with good maintenance, the right fluids and replacement parts... they are durable engines and can easily see 250k+ with the right conditions. Just keep driving it and maintain it properly and you shouldn't have any worries.

I have a my wrecked 97 still running just not road worthy and it has 397,250km on it and before my accident the truck ran like a dream. I also have a friend who just bought one as winter truck and it has 450,000km roughly and it runs like a champ. It all depends on how they are driven and what they are used for. If you tow a lot or plow then the engine and tranny probably wont last as long but you never know with mechanical things.

I have a little mole on my back.. kinda worried about it, looks a little weird....


j/k.. my 2002 has 142,000 miles on it, i bought it used with 14,000 miles. I have done all the maintenance on it so far,and it never misses a beat. Getting ready to overhall the breaks next, going to flush the fluid (looks horrible) and replace rotors and wheel bearings since i am already on there..
