Wow. Atleast you can say you got 243k miles on the stock tranny!

To be exact, it's only 252,317. But goes to show how far they can be taken. Here's to another few thousand :P

Thanks for keeping us updated. How often have you been doing the trans flush?
I had one at 50k and will do the next one at 100k.

That would be my exact interval. Although I did miss the 100k and did it at 120. Other than that every 50k. I found my local midas was the cheapest and quickest

Replaced a cracked radiator today. Nice and straightforward. Removing the grill really helped to get to the front rad.

256,730 miles and still cruisin!

So taptalk has been giving me issues logging on with my normal username. Just wanted to update y'all.
274,400 mi
Flushed the heater core and gained back my heat that's been missing for a few years now.

Only been changing out oil and just did the transmission fluid. Might end up re gearing soon as these Southwest Virginia slow hills have me always kicking in OD while using cruise control

Quick little update for me to keep track of fluids. 281,000 miles and just had transmission flushed and filled and did both of my dif fluids.
Have a small oil leak coming from somewhere.
Going to look into a head gasket replacement soon. Anything to look out for?

I think you're breaking new ground with the KK, getting up around 300K! Some of the KJ's have made it that far. I'm not sure what to say to look out for with the head gasket job, as I've never done one. TwoBobsKJ wrote a fantastic 3.7 engine swap thread a while back which basically covers everything, although the pics in it have been hit with Photobucket's ransom scheme. Still it might be worth a read.
