238k miles.
Purchased 04/2014
Since purchase I've replaced, rebuilt, & modified a LOT of stuff. It's a pretty awesome machine. Synthetic fluids, regular maintenance.
2014: new radiator, heater core, water pump, new turbo, re-sealed oil pan, HPOP lines, added thermocouple/EGR gauge, interior strip/clean/spray/insulate (two-part urethane, butyl sound dampener, ensolite, reflectix, neoprene, carpet/etc), Pioneer head unit with back up camera, all AC components, added side windows, added pop out windows, Hella horns run through relay, added F150 seats to passenger area, transmission solenoid pack, neutral safety switch, new Oddyssey batteries x2, new factory battery cables, new starter, cam sensor, windshields # 1&2, bed rug, 6x9 speakers, inside surf racks.
2015: all 8 injectors replaced (along with UVCH, glow plugs, cam sensor, and one other sensor), Sienna seats added to driver/passenger locations, starter #2, fuel bowl delete with new Wix style filters on frame rail, regulated return lines with fuel bowl delete, solar system, 12 gallon ABS water tank with on-demand pump, Fan-tastic roof vent, insulated doghouse, another cam sensor (these are like a wear item for 7.3s), new IPR, all the AC components again!, stainless muffler, door cables and latches, baffled Dorman up-pipes, header wrap on baffled up pipes, complete front suspension rebuild (Moog C880s coils, ball joints, tie rods/ends, shocks, bushings, etc), rear shocks too, brake pads/rotors all around, brake master cylinder, starter #2, air pump, 235/85/16 tires, 4 wheel alignment.
2016: yet another cam sensor, belt tensioner, new speakers in rear doors, rear brake pads, throttle pedal assembly, American Racing wheels, rebuilt rear storage area for water/solar, replaced horn button/airbag assembly, turn signal housings, steering stabilizer added, replaced steering wheel clockspring, HID projector retrofit headlights along with relays/etc, painted rockers with bedliner, Bilstein shocks all around.
2017: windshield #3 (fingers crossed!), 1.75" DOM front bumper and sliders, new bedrug, turbo (again!), turbo pedestal w/EPBV delete and appropriate resistor, remanufactured HPOP, new HPOP lines, new IPR, turbo cooling lines, several oil leaks chased/fixed, finished most of interior build (just needs a headliner in back!), painted grill, alignment.
I have receipts for most of the stuff done. I've spent a lot of time/money/energy on this van.
No check engine lights or funny stuff. AC is very cold. Drives really well for a big-arsed van. Quite nimble for it's size in the canyons where we live. Hauls balls on washboard in comfort.
Just passed smog this week, and registration is good though August 2018.
No rust.
Exterior is a 7.5 out of 10.
Interior is an 8.5 out of 10.
I've driven it from SoCal to: Montana, Baja, MANY Death Valley and desert trips, Reno, Vegas, Oklahoma, and lots more.
I'm pretty firm at $14,500 cash.
