how long will the 4.0 last and what do you have on yours

I'd say at least 175K. without too many issues.
I have 130K on my Xploder right now and it was used and abused, but it keeps on ticking. I blew up my 91 at 180K. I will admit I rarely see any ove 200K but maybe they are just too new. Over at the Impala sight under 200K is low mileage.

If this includes OHV engines, a guy at work still drives a '91 4x4 STX with the 4.0/auto. He drives 120 miles round trip to work 5-6 days a week. It has way on the far side of 300,000 miles but the odometer quit about halfway through the 200,000 mile range several years ago. The trans has been replaced and is on its way out again but the engine still runs fairly well. Suprisingly enough the A/C still works, cruise control doesn't. The engine doesn't smoke, but is getting tired. He said hes never done anything to it except change the oil and air filter and such once in awhile. The truck is getting pretty rusty too. He had to replace both the front spring mounts on the frame because they rusted through. I don't think it has ever been washed either...looks pretty grudgy.

My 94 I bought in may from the original owner has 170,000 on it and last month I towed my 98 4x4 back with it at 75+ mph. The owner switched to amsoil when it was new. The valves were ticking when cold when I bought it so I changed the oil and added a can of restore and that went away. I'd drive it anywhere.

Starting Fresh with Old Stuff:
New member here that has just picked up a 94 Supercab 4.0L with 152,000 on the odometer.
The engine runs nearly as quietly as the 4.6L in my Lincoln TC at 149,000 miles, so I guess the V6 Cologne will go a bit further.
I'm more concerned with the A4LD tranny than the engine....gotta wonder just how much more I can get out of it before it stutters and dies. At the moment the tran works very well.

John/Bryan,
The SOHC has been in the Ranger since 2001, for someone to have 200K or more, they would have to drive there 2001 28,571.42 miles per year to have those kind of miles by now (2007). I drive that much, but my truck is only 3 years old....
Edit: I know they have been in the Exploder longer, but no one on this site really has one...

my cousin has a 93 stx (fx4 lvl 2 by todays standards) with POWER SEATS FACTORY everything still works, its got 8inches of lift, and 250,000+ miles on it, and he hauls a 3,000lbs trailer with it all the time.... and he hasnt had any major issues. the only probs hes had, had to do with his lift, like the carrier bearings, other than that, it runs great.

I don't drive much more than normal for a Minnesotan and I do 45K a year. 28K should be more than normal. Plus not too many OHV with over 200K either. I blew one up at 180K and the one in my 2000 if it hits 150K I would be shocked. I had 90K on my 2001 when I traded it in. The 04 had 45K ish when I sold it, but that truck also was in the shop more than the 01 forcing me to drive other vehicles to work.
