Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Who's got the lowest mileage 12 valve?

[Jeff]

I've heard of all the high mileage trucks out here... who's got on that sits in the garage and only drives to church on Sunday? I still think the 12 valve is the best motor EVER put in a pickup truck... I think low mileage trucks like ours will suprise people if / when they ever come up for sale on Ebay! :-laf

 

[MGarland]

88k on mine but I've only owned it for about 6 months, that will change when mowing season gets here and it runs 7 day's a week pullind the trailer.

[bmoeller]

[KennethS]

IGOT 40,000 ON MY 95 Scotty Motor Home and Its a Dodge

on a one ton chassie that has been extended so It s a 25 and half footer. I got It last year with 30,000 miles on It. I drove It out west to Texas ,Colorado, Wyoming, and Iowa and Now It has 40,000 miles on It. I live It. I would not trade It for a new one even up. That how much I like It.

 

[bmoeller]

IIRC, I saw a post where someone had found an early 2nd gen with less than 10k original miles.

 

[JBrookshire]

I have seen???

I have a good friend of mine he has a 1997 4x4 reg cab that has around 15,000 miles. He said he has turned down some good $ offers on it too. Justin

 

[Got Smoke?]

FDavid has a 98 QC Long Bed 4x4 5spd 12V with only 90K on it.



Some guys have all the luck.

 

[Reb.B]

A guy with an old wore out first gen a town away from me boaght a 98 12v dually 4x4 5 spd that has 4,800 miles. He wanted $24,500 firm, but the guy bought it for $22,500. It was advertised in AG source here in the Central Valley.

 

[DWeiler]

Not a 12 valver,but my second genner(01) has 26000kms(16250miles)on her,just a weekend ride towing the tt and cruising on nice days. Still in the process of building the way i want it,Mach 4/Smarty are on the way,next is Kore Recon or Chase with control arms. Down the road/funds etc maybe a Piers ported head/cam until i think of something else.

 

[coyote75]

I bought my 96' 12v in 03' with 17k original miles on it, but now it has 95k miles on it. An Old man owned it before I bought it and i think he drove it about once a month. It took a couple of weeks to run the cob webs out of it

 

[WyattEarp]

Well i don't know if mine will count but i purchased my 92 on 11-28-05 the odometer is showing at this time 54800, i was told they estimated it had at least another 46000 on it, the VSS was bad and hadn't been replaced, so mine roughly has 101,000 miles on it now, i have put just a hair under 5000 miles since Nov... ... ... and wouldn't trade it for a new one even if i came out money ahead. Oo.

 

[CStansbury]

I got 96,400 on my '95 right now. Just bought it last month with 95,800.

 

[Breed]

I have a 98 12 Valve, SLT, long bed, with 76321 miles on it, I bought the Truck brand new, runs and look great, Love the

 

[cojhl2]

Not an answer to the specific question, but I think it's interesting. .



About a year ago we sold off the farm a 1987 1t GMC with a Knaphide dump bed. It was always in the qounset so was perfect.



BTW,, it had 684 miles,, no kidding!!!

 

[MUDDY]

my 97 12v dually has 47,000. only driven on longer trips. not to work or to the store. never driven in the snow. never in the rain intentionally. driven on a gravel rd only 2 times real slowly by me. no gravel rd's by p. o. the orig owner babied this rig as i do too. he pulled a small low pro 26 foot 5'er. he'd go to may madness once a yr. has 4 thropys it won in show&shines. he'd pull the 5'er to his mnt lot a hundred mile away then leave it for summer then drive empty in the dually to the lot on weekends.



i use the truck to pull a small 19 foot 5'er or my 33 foot 5'er. i dont drive on bad rd's or in snow or cold with it. i do frive it every couple weeks to lubricate it and excercise it IF the roads are good in the winter. i never drive in the city with it. just the open road.



ive turned down some good offers for it. gonna keep it forever and let the kids inherit it i drive my 92 w/ 600,000 miles as the daily driver Oo.

[Diesel Darlin]

Just getting "broke in"!

It took me a year of searching cross country to find my 93 4X4 extra cab. I bought it from an old guy in Preston, Idaho who told me he was the only person ever to drive her. I got her in September with 134,000. She has 146,000 and I swear she runs better every day!
