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.

impressive. 4.0?

[Rokhound]

All 3 of mine have over 200,000 upto 250,000 4.0 rock. Best darn motor out there if you ask me

[xmeatbagx]

yea it's a 4.0

[Twisty]

i have 195,700 on my 1995 XJ. ive never doubted it, and love it. it leaks so bad though. i changed the oil a month ago, and ive already had to add 2.5 quarts to keep the dipstick at full.

my '90 eliminator is about to go 205k. :brows:

sounds exaclt like my mom's 95 XJ... except its a auto 2wd 4.0 with 198k on it and it leaks like a seive.

While the engines are certainly capable of 200k+ (all 3 of mine are), alas the seals are not.

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.

[sinnaevd]

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:

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.

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?

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.

I'm really hoping you forgot a decimal point in that b.c 2.9million km would have to be some sort of record

Here's a good write-up replacing the rear main...
