I think he meant mileage.

Well, now that I've broken the 100K mark...

102,000 and still going strong (knocking on wood...)

Have replaced (in general order of replacement)
-Tires (2 weeks before the Crapstone recall since I knew those tires were S**T)
-Rear Shocks/swaybar
-Thermostat
-Center Console Armrest
-IAC
-Upper Control Arms/Balljoints & Front Shocks

Other than those, the usual... Oil ~ every 3K/tranny every 30K (flush/pan drop/flush) / t/f case and diffy fluids @ 60K / Front pads (2x) and rotors & rear pads (1x)

1996 V8 AWD XLT 117,000

Aside from faithful routine maint:

- Paint flaking off hood (under warranty)
- JBL Amp died (weird but not covered under warranty, I wanted a new stereo anyway)
- Ball Joints (small ouch)
- Emergency Brake (Pads disintegrated)
- Thermostat
- Ball Joints (small ouch)
--- After hitting 100k ---
- New plugs and wires
- Front Control Rod
- Front Bearings (ouch)
- Thermostat
- Rotors Resurfaced
- Dash bulbs (2)
- Drivers side arm rest control panel fell through door. Dealer says I need a whole new door, I say a little dab of epoxy will do the trick.
- Ball Joints (small ouch)
- Transfer case (big F'in ouch)

Outstanding Issues:
- I am having problems with the breaks, new pads and rotors have not solved the problem. They require way too much force to stop.
- Paint has chipped off rear tailgate lid
- Lots of little rattles and squeaks which aren't a big deal but are annoying
- I think the front axle seals need to be replaced, they are leaking.
- Looks like I need new Ball Joints again, the last set doesn't even have 1000 miles on em yet, so I'm thinking they were installed incorrectly.
- I'm due for shocks

Well I just hit 250,000 Miles.

I have had the truck since 130K miles, 7 years ago.

Dont even ask whats been replaced, fixed, maintained. I can say what is left original:

brake booster (not for long)
frame
body mounts
body (except for rust repair and paint)
tail lights
metal part of dash
carpet kit (not for long)
electric windows and locks (work perfect)
body wiring harness


ummmm thats about all thats left

I should be able to hit 500K miles in another 10 years with no problems

-new clutch, master, slave from last time clutch and slave were replaced at 56000
-AC has a leak that I cant find
-tachometer sticks at 2500 which really annoys me
-fuel guage stuck on full
-some sun damage in gutters and above top brake light
-i broke the original arm rest brackey and got a reinforced one for like 20 bucks or somethin
-brakes are a little odd

-A4LD Rebuilt 1 month ago (soon to be taken back, pan leaks, now 2nd - 3rd is not smooth anymore)
-Radiator Cleaned out
-New A/C Compressor on the way (conversion to 134a was useless, compressor wasnt even working!)
-Speedometer replaced a week ago (old speedohead went south)

--Stuff that needs to be fixed/changed/repaired--
-Oil leak where the engine and the transmission bellhousing meet (leads to 1 qt ~3 weeks)
-Valve covers leak (bout to be replaced, while thats done plugs and wires too)
-Gas gauge stuck on empty (hoping to get that float replaced within a few months)
