How far can the 3.0 go?
I know there were some post and maybe a poll on the miles you guys got on your 3.0, but ive been searching for a while and I can't find it. anyway, i think its about time to update it now, so how about it? How many miles does your 3.0 got on it now? I'm at 160,000, and i got the headgasket done at 146,000. Still running good with the exception to some noises.

Did my HG and a valve job at 165k, and now she's got 175k. She is running great besides for a code 71 I need to get fixed. Anyone got an used EGR valve for sale? Is there an area of the forum just for used parts for sale?

I've got 203,000 miles on it. The previous owner did the head gaskets at 134,000, and I bought it at 145,000. It runs great, but I'm currently fixing a froze up fan pulley. I've put about $700 or so worth of parts on it in the last 5 years, so I can't complain.

157,000 on my 95 and just did a HG, T belt, water pump, and alot of other small stuff about 1,000 miles ago, it's running good so far. My only complaint is that I seem to getting around 12 mpg around town lately.

My 1988 had 196,000 when it self destructed.
I had the dealer rebuild the heads and put in a short block, that now has 145,000 miles on it. Total vehicle miles is about 341,000!
What does a normal rebuild cost on one of these 3.0 (3VZE) engines?
