Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) How many miles does your STOCK 12 Valve have on it ??

[Katmandu]

State year, current mileage and if it's been rebuilt or not.

My 98 has 197,560 on original engine.

And yours ??

Started BOMBing the engine @ ~175k miles (outside of BHAF and 5" exhaust, did that almost right away at 140k when I bought the truck). At 215k now. Motor has never been opened up. Still stock HG as well.

Katmandu ,

Given your two similar post on this subject, why so concerned about the service life of the engine Are you having some issues?

 

[DSahd]

miles

Today the clock reads 770,370, it is about 3% slow so I guess it's over 800. 000. Had J & H performance replace gaskets due to oil leakage at 580k. had it bombed slightley at that time, better late than never. When replacing the head gasket due to seepage around the thermostat area there was'nt any noticeable ring wear,still had factory hone marks in the bores. original injectors. it's been 5,000 miles since the last oil change and it's right up to the top. I have replaced many parts most'ly Dodge sometimes more than once. The way it is running I believe it will make a million, then I will start lookin for a replacement motor. Stormy

Not even broke in yet 40,000 miles

Can't get wife to go on to many trips. We are going to SD for a Glidden Tour in Sept. That should be good for her pulling the car trailer with the 33 Ford coupe in the trailer. Lets see if I can post a picture of her?

 

[Buck88]

My 1998 is all stock besides exhaust, and the odometer reads 58,689

 

[WDixon27]

bought mine stock at 304k miles with a seeping head gasket by the thermostat, fixed that around 309k and am at 315k now with the mods in the sig done over the corse of the time that i have had it

 

[EKlem]

Mine has 196,400 miles on it and is pretty close to stock. The intake and exhaust were both done around 185k so up until then, the motor was stock.

 

[Matthug]

My truck was bone stock when I got it, 244K. Has 258 now with the mods listed in my sig. I replaced the lift pump at 255K because it was a little weak, but I have no doubt the demand of the extra fuel is what killed it.

 

[JFaughn]

240,000 , Stock - I call it stock if the insides are orig.

 

[Missouri Mule]

96, 177,000 original. No work done on engine except to kill kdp of course.

 

[Dfuruness]

1995, presently has achieved 240,600 miles. All stock.

And you consider this engine STOCK????????



I must have missed something in this post up front.

I thought stock meant STOCK,no mods,no changes all factory original. With that now corrected I am fairly certain that not too many of our trucks fit that bill... ... ... . Andy



BTW. .

Mine lost its "stock" description around 20,000 miles and it has never looked back.

 

[Matthug]

I think he said that his definition of stock was that the longblock had not been touched.
