Hey guys, my truck just ticked over 245K on the odo. Wondering what everyones thoughts are as far as worrying about breakdowns or problems while out in the wild?
I change the oil every 3k and change other fluids regularly. I feel fairly confident with my truck...it has a few problems being as old as it is. Still having a 4x4 problem where my truck will only shift into 4x4 when she's feeling good about herself. It seems to work when I am not on dirt and then as soon as I get onto dirt it doesn't work. I've been keeping to trails and areas with more people in case I do have a breakdown and I haven't gone anywhere new in a long long time due to my worries of breaking down. I Really want to take a trip to Baja in early September for a few days and I'd hate to be stranded on a beach (kind of) and not able to get home and back to work.
Just wondering everyones thoughts and if a high mileage vehicle has stopped you from going new places?
