Ours went at about 195000ks, used to do about 3000ks evry chrismas fully loaded. Done lots of long hot runs, plus the usuall around town rubbish, dragged trailers and allsorts, generally its been thrashed. We got it in 98 (its a 94) at 35000ks. The coolent had NEVER been changed until the head cracked, when the radiator was cleaned out the guy took a photo of it it was that bad, he reckoned 80-90% blocked. Wacked a 750NZ dollar head on it 10000ks ago and shes still going alright.If we get another year out of the old girl we'll be happy.
