2.8 on 180k and no oil leaks. Another 20k and I reckon it'll be just about run in. say about july?
So long as you keep on top of the servicing and replace worn bits as required theres no reason why they shouldnt just keep on going.

This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been
Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered
)
Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.

so ones with about 90 to 100k on them should be good for a while yet then as long as they have not been abused to much ?
