million miles is it possible on an engine?

I was just over at the Volvo dealer in cincy - (world wide equip) - and talked to one of their engine mechs. who said he has seen EVERY make of engine go over a million miles with original turbos and injectors...

he echoed my comments on a block being nothing but a vessel in a diesel and the liners and pistons can last over a million but normal service life is just about at that milestone...

BTW - a "frame in" replaces all the wearables and having one every 750K could in theory keep you rolling forever...

 

this was in reference to odometers - I noticed new digital dashes on 2007 and newer volvo VN's have 8 figure odo's


1,232,551.99 miles show as 1,232,551.9 not 232,551.9 etc etc


I gues they figure adding another place on the "dial" will make trade ins more idiot proof!

(geee this 1997 pete only has 45,000 miles on it!)

 

you mean in-frame dont you?

there are two types of overhuals,rebiulds, re conditioned....whatever you want to call them...in frame and out

 

well frame in frame out in frame out frame etc etc


the terminology gets mixed... hehehhehe


actually three types - not us to forget the dreaded core replace
