xmeatbagx Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 309,000 miles ... How much longer could my truck last? It's a 88' pioneer, shortbed, 2wd, auto on the column. She sounds tired when she first starts in the morning. Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the engines are certainly capable of 200k+ (all 3 of mine are), alas the seals are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druville Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 impressive, mine is all original with 201k and i have a ba-10 and its still alive, for the most part. i personally think that is the most amazing of all of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinnaevd Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 how big of a pain is it to fix this little problem??? at 140000km's, mine has a nice puddle on the new and now stained cement... :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Depends on which seals are leaking. The rear main seal requires dropping the oil pan (and use of a torque wrench) and is generally a very messy and sometimes frustrating procedure. Changing the valve cover is pretty straight forward, but there are no guarantees when screwing around with 15 year old gaskets. I haven't done the oil filter O-rings yet.

sinnaevd Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 i found this rebuild kit that is suppose to stop blow-by that apparently all jeeps have. anyone else ever have tht problem? is i worth pickin up the kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenosha Warrior Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 My 2.5L has 2944895km's. Once it starts leaking, I'm doing a complete gasket job on the motor. Main, oil pan, valve cover, oil filter o rings. EVERYTHING. Keep my 2.5L running happy and healthy. And if its not leaking by summer, when I pop the pistons out, drop the oilpan, and do the crank bearings, piston rings and rod bearings, Ill do the main seal too. Its a good engine, decent on gas (lately its bein' a pig, time for a O2 sensor change) and keeps me going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
