Sorta blurry photo because don’t stare at your phone when driving.
Full disclosure. I was 2 miles away from 200k when I left home this morning, had the camera pulled up before I left, and just stuck it in the dash when I saw 200k and hoped it turned out. Don’t play with your phone while driving.

NICE! When my old wagon hit 200k it was precisely as I pulled into the parking lot at work. So... that was an easy one.
My wife’s car is around 500 miles from 200k, but she’s on the highway a lot, could be tricky to catch!
Any celebratory preventative maintenance planned?

I actually pulled over when my Dakota hit 267,267 back in December (The 31st. according to my PC)

It’s due for an oil change, and I’ll likely flush the trans, but most of the other fluids are still fairly new due to a leaky pinion seal and a refresh of the cooling system within the last 30,000 or so miles. It’s had a lot done in the last year, rebuilt front suspension, new CV axle, new exhaust manifolds, several new coils, which I should probably replace the rest of as it’s still running on at least 3 or 4 original coils. I keep a spare on hand at all times now though and its kinda become a game to see how long they can last. Front brakes are pretty recent, but the rears could be done soon, and the tires are fresh, both summer and winters, so I’m hoping it should be good for a while yet. The only thing I wish I could fix is the rust.

That’s worth pulling over for.

200,000 is the new 100,000.

I love the big fuel gauge instead of a tachometer.

I didn’t. I actually swapped it out for a tach a few months ago.

Good stuff. I hated that Chrysler did that.

They all did it back in the day. Annoyingly, mainly on manuals.
