440,000 Km and not opened yet

[G M 2]

A work acquaintance has a 01 ST.He came by my home today to check out mine. He has over 440,000 Km on it and still hasnot had an engine or tranny rebuild. Not even a valve job. Just regualar service, brakes, plugs etc. I'd say, that is a fine automobile by any standard.

 

[TomT]

What is that in miles? About 4000?

 

[Frank Marano]

273,000 miles or so?

 

[NickyVandries Belgium]

1 mile = 1,6093 km

440.000 km = 273.410,806 mile

 

[Conrad AlbertoJr]

is it just me, or does



1 mi = 1,6093 km sound a bit off ?



440,000 km equals roughly 273,403.32 statute miles, which means that ST was built to last

Built FORD Tough!

 

[Larry Gamble]

nope, the mile is about 1.6 klicks.

 

[Nelson Atwell]

Gerry, how does that Trac look? I'm wondering how the body would hold up after all those miles. Also, did you get to ride in it? I'm curious if there were a lot of squeeks and rattles. I hope to get that many miles out of mine.

 

[John Woodard]

I second what Nelson asked ! What kinda shape is it in after all those miles ?

 

[Bill Ellis]

1 KM = .6 miles. So 440,000 Km = 264,000 miles. Hard to believe, but not impossible.

 

[Frank Marano]

to be accurate 1 km = 0.62137 Miles so it comes to 273,402 miles and some change like I said above,

 

[Gavin Allan]

How are the seats? My drivers side fabric is nearly worn through after two and one-half years and 35,000 miles.

 

[G M 2]

There is no dents or body rust whatsoever, however the rear bumper is looking a little shabby and the wheels could be replaced. Tailgate has a rattle over bumps (an adjustment I would think). Interior is very good. He had these tough seat covers on the front. Everything works. Even the paint has not faded. However this guy is not your everyday owner. He is obsesive about his toys. He uses the ST to pull a 18 foot travel trailer and travels LOTS. A retired police brother in fact. I have known him for over 20 years and he bought the truck new and retired the next year. He is driving this truck until the 07 hits the dealer and giving this one to his grandson.

That's great news. That kind of mileage and in the great white north too which is hard on a car.



I thought my '86 Cherokee 4cyl/5speed was doing good at 215,000 w/1 engine rebuild. Just saw an '87 Cherokee Chief for sale - thing looks great. Has the 4.0L 6 and automatic. Talked to the gal selling she's had since new, never any engine or tranny rebuilds. Nothing major ever wrong and the thing has 340,000 miles!! She should call Guiness.

 

[TomT]

Wow, if she has an 86 Cherokee with that many miles she should call Guiness. Might be the only model from the 80's still running. They had a terrible repair record back then. I know several people that had them and they all practically gave them away just to get rid of them. About the only thing worse was the Ford Bronco II, which I had and couldn't wait to get rid of.

My sister had a Bronco II. The engine sounded like the pistons were swapping holes! :lol:
