I got a dmax with 170000 bone stock with a k&n. I have had no problem other that a alternator, and some u joints. I also use it as a snow plow truck so its been ran good. I think the key to getting this trucks to run forever is to leave them stock. Yea i know that's boring and that's why i have begun my upgrading by ordering exhaust. :jump:

BLOOOOOWN
 
215000 miles when I bought it and the gaskets are just barely blown, I figured it out when I tried to check the coolant in the morning and it came gurgling out like there was a big bubble of compressed gas in the engine.
Dang it!

Head gaskets done at 125k
 
I went round and round with the dealer that my head gasket was blown and they kept telling me that there tests say they are fine. One monday morning a buddy of mine helped me tear into it,found 4 of the 8 cylinders were failing right around the ring of the cylinder.I gave him a few bucks and still had almost 3k into it. Oh that included the water pump.Back up and running wednesday after noon.

The gaskets don't really blow out, they just move around due to aluminum heads, then they start leaking. Even unmodified engines will do it.
