my 91 went to 396k before I burnt a valve and rebuilt it.

 

My dad had 275,000 on his 92 4runner before the tranny crapped out. He sold it to a mechanic friend and he fixed the tranny. Its still runnin 315,000.

 

Uhhh that was the 2nd motor, right?

 

'95 runner, 126k. No leaks, runs very well.

 

Toyota told me 1988 3.0 pickups weren't recalled for head gaskets. What the hell something is fishy.

 

I ended up not buying that 88, the guy was kind of a weirdo, he told me he had done 3 or 4 timing belts but he had no receipts...anyways I bought a 95 limited 4runner 3.0 auto with 146k it runs great, one of the quietest 3.0's I've seen.

 

The early 3.0's used HG's with asbestos in them. The first style that Toyota changed to after the asbestos ban didn't hold up. That's why the later models were subject to recall.

Yea no kiddning, I had a 92 that took 3 engines before 130k when I sold it and a 90 that had a headgasket at 80 and 140k. This 95 I just bought runs great though and it's still on it's first, I'm crossing my fingers anyway though

 

94 4-Runner M/T.....299,328 and still truckin......

 

174,xxx on mine. It's doggy and can barely hold 80 on the highway but it still runs.

 

89 4runner w/3.0 5 speed, runs beuatifully and going strong at 127000.

 

well so far i have a little over 206,000 miles on mine...an i have had a few problems with my 3vz but not cus the miles (i got the truck from my ount who never tock care of it and i have no money to fix the problems) but seeing how many miles i got on it without fixing too many things...id say this engine is prety good!

 

im almost 100% sure my freinds 89 see sig still has the factory head gasket at 290k im not sure but it runs great he dont drive it hard like most you guys do

 

Just about to roll over 180,000. I commute about 90 miles per day when I am in the office. My first mod (and only gripe about the truck) will be the radio (yeah, its got a tape deck) and if you turn the volume up really loud you can make out some of the broadcast over the severe static and hissing.

3.0 5-spd 4x4.

 

1994 4Runner SR5 4x4 V6 5spd. 137,000 on original 3VZE RUNS GREAT!!!!

 

well over 1 million kms on a 1990 4Runner 3.0, Toyota Canada did a commercial in 03 about him, Dr. Kent F.

 

253k miles
89 runner, manual

 

My previous 4runner, an 89, had 297,000 at the time of theft. Never got it back. My current 94 has 150,000.
