I have seen both PSD and Cummins 1 million miles engines, and a lot of other PSDs in the 7-900K range.

my old 66 with a 352 had 286 thousand miles on it and speedo was broken for 4 years. my dad bought it new and the only thing that went on engine was the water pump. still got 23 miles to the gallon . burnt 1 liter oil every 9-10 tanks of fuel. wish i still had that old truck

I got a 1991 BMW 525I in Germany with American Spec's in 1996. It had about 40,000 miles on it then. Now is has 270,000 miles and I have not had to replace anything other than the batteries, brakes and a seat cover!
The head to the stick shifter also had to be replaced because I wore it through.

We have a 1983 Chevy full size van with the 6.2 diesel in it and it has 260,000 on it and still going strong with nothing major done to it, we just replaced the oringinal starter.

Been awhile since ive been here but readin this article, im impressed with some of the mileage records im seein. I dispise cummins diesels with a passion but there are gettin to be more and more with over 600k miles on the 5.9s in dodge pu's. There's one runnin round the US with over 1,000,000 miles on the original motor, never a major overhaul. When, and if, it reaches 2 Mil., cummins is thinkin bout buyin it from him and givin him a new one in place of it.

Personally put a few vehicles over 300k on the original engine and transmissions.
Seen two dodge cummins with over 500k miles. No engine work.
They have a few dodge cummins posted on different websites with over a million. The dodge dealership in vegas owns another one and shows it off out front.
My IDI has over 200k on it. It aint gonna goa to 300 though.

I read an article a few years back about the guy who turned over 1M in his little volvo car - Volvo gave him a new one!

My 85 olds Cutlass Supreme had 300,000 on the clock before I got rid of it. It had the original motor and tranny it just wouldnt die. I sold it because I broke my upper control arm and I didnt want to tear into it. It still ran good when I sold it. I bought it from the orginal owner who lived in texas.
