We only got 125k or so out of our 94 2500 350 chevy truck.
I did get 440k out of the original motor on my 86 ford bronco2 with the 2.9. Yes, the tranny had to be rebuilt around 200-250k, but other than that, it only needed normal stuff. Sadly it was hit by a drink driver that ran his stoplight. If the drunk wouldn't have T bones me, I bet that truck would have gone for another 200k.
My family had another 86 bronco2 with the same 2.9 and same auto tranny that went over 400k too.
I did get about 300k on a quad 4 olds calais though. Other than that, GM's have let my family down too many times to every buy another one.

Both of my vehicles are right near the 200K mark, my 96 Jeep GC has 210K and my 95 Prizm has 190K. The Prizm had a frozen timing belt tensioner this summer that I replaced, I replaced the water pump and belts at the same time, and a couple years ago the flywheel came apart, but no internal engine work has ever been done to it. The Jeep blew a radiator 2 years ago and put a new water pump on it, I also ripped up the front gears by using the wrong sized spare too long once. I replaced the axle with an high-pinion pumkin. But also no internal work on the engine. Years ago my dad passed along an old Oldsmobile Omega 2.8L I got 450K out of it before putting it pasture. The car after that was a Royale that I got 550K or so out of it before selling it to a neighbor, we moved away before he got rid of it. All those miles and cars are all conventional oil and regular changes...
Ive got 410k on a 97 honda accord. Original clutch yet!!! no repairs other than basic maint except one starter and one alternator. Doesn't leak or burn any fluids. I hope my 05 silverado can be close to as good as that car.

Well I'm right up there with you guys. '94 Econoline w. 4.9 L6 engine and c-6 tranny.
356 k miles on it and still counting. But this winter is it. Body getting rusted out and its time to change it for a "newer model"
