so who has the highest mileage on a CRD???

Tom, I had a 2002 Liberty gasser and traded it in last spring with over 200,000 miles. Transmission went south at 160,000, but otherwise no problems. My jeeps love me

I have 120K miles on the rig. Had a EGR replaced early, but no problems since installing a Provent. My goal is 300K miles. Timing belt and water pump replacement is the next investment.

I expect a gasoline engine to run 300,000. If I were you, my goal would be ½ million

That is my goal! I sold my first diesel, the Jetta, with 150k on it, and in MINT engine condition. Compression of 500 psi in each cylinder. Once I can get the Suncoast into the CRD, I'm figuring that it will easily do that much. The transmission is from the heavy trucks, so it is designed for this kind of power input. When not towing, that transmission is just loafing along, and should last almost forever.

Biodiesel for the engine, synthetics for the fluids... half-million miles? Certainly possible!

What kind of tires you running?
The reason I ask is that I have 102K on my BFG ATs and will most likely get another 5 or 6K out of them........... depending on how they work when we get our first snow
