High Mileage Poll

[firefoxed]

My 2005 V6 got as far as 227,000 before the head gaskets went, overheated also about 6 months ago so no point wasting money on the heads. Previous owner totally neglected it and I got caught up in the dealers sales pitch, my guess is previous owner traded it knowing issues were coming.

I had a 130,000 mile engine from a 2008 Tacoma put in and I have put up 800 trouble free miles so far. Mechanic suggests getting an oil change done at 1000 miles after the engine swap so that's coming soon.

I'm pretty sure its [MENTION=403609]randy88fj62[/MENTION]

edit: found the post Battery resting voltage 12.8V when truck is off. Is that ok?, looks like ~483k

Hi Gloch
I am at 494,500 miles with stock drive train. Fingers crossed I'll make it to 500,00 before the transmission gets upset. It slips just a little now and looks like it will go before the motor does.

I plan on rebuilding the transmission with the upgraded valve body for faster succinct shifting.

Nice! Have you tried fresh fluid for the slippage?

 

[randy88fj62]

Yes I swapped in fresh Toyota WS fluid. I undid the trans cooler line and as it sucked in the bad pumped out. I did that until it was all fresh and bright red. No difference in shifting with that.

I am thinking of maybe putting some shifting additive in there but I don't believe that will solve any problems with a transmission with this many miles.

Impressed!

We all know V8s are million mile motors. Curious to see V6s 300k+ and how many are on original head gaskets.

Agreed, I was curious to see the high mileage 4Runners in general, but as a V6 owner myself, I really wanted to see how many high mileage V6’s are out there and who has the most miles overall.
I was hoping to see some more 300K and 400k+.

I’m at 228k on original head gaskets on my 05.

I'm at 211k, also on the original head gaskets of my 05 v6.

On my last oil analysis from Blackstone, I had 50ppm Potassium and 28ppm Sodium in the oil. Oddly, this sample decreased from the last sample enough that Blackstone labs had thought I fixed the slow leak. Those are the only 2 analysis's I've had, each at 4k. I'm at 2k on the current oil, so would be curious to see what the numbers are on the next analysis.

Just saw on Facebook today some guy that has 431k on his 05 V6 with no issues. Not sure if he’ll come here to vote on this, but that’s the highest mileage V6 I’ve seen yet.

I'm at 483k miles on my 2005 V8. I am the 2nd owner and I have put 20,000 hard miles on this 4runner. Videos of it are found on our channel, Dirt Complex - YouTube

Some of you might mistake my rough driving for not caring about the 4runner, but believe me I do love this rig. So far just keeping up with basic maintenance. Front ABS sensor recently went out after I put another lift on.

As [MENTION=403609]randy88fj62[/MENTION] mentioned, I also believe the transmission will go out before the engine does. I daily drive this rig and it does slip every once in a while and sometimes lags on the last downshift when coming to a stop. Engine still sounds smooth and amazing.

My check engine light comes on sporadically. Sometimes it'll be off for an entire month before going back on. The code is always for low efficiency catalytic converter so that will most likely be the next major maintenance expense, unless I'm lucky and it's just the O2 sensor.

This was and still is a desert car and the silver clear coat is peeling horribly. I will be bed lining the entire rig soon using a tinted raptor liner.

Front CV boots were ripped when I purchased it. Those have been replaced.

Drivetrain related mods:
295/70/17 Milestar Patagonia on 17x8.5 Pro Comps.
Toytec Ultimate front "coilovers" on 650 lb springs roughly 2.5 inches
Bilstein 5100 rear on Icon 2" coils
Flowmaster exhaust (I dented up the old one offroading and had this extra one laying around the shop)

So who has the 600k+ V8?
That’s incredible

 

[nrgpill76]

Man, I thought I've had some high mileage 4runners in the past but some of you have gone 2x over that!

If you look at the poll results, it tells you who that person is.

Learn something new every day. Thanks.
I never run polls so I didn’t know that.

I’d still like to hear details on that 4Runner, breaking 600k is pretty amazing.
