Hope I can get another 300k out of it!! Been told I need to get a new one but there's nothing wrong with this one. Plus the thought of spending $50-$60K on a new one does not appeal to me...

What have you do to it to get to 300k? How are things holding up at that many miles. Congrats!

I do the regular oil changes, 5k7k miles, transmission, rear-end and antifreeze at least once a year or more (30k-50k miles). It'll puke a water pump every 100-150k miles (last one at 250k). Original clutch went out at 275k, original alternator at 290k. I did some preemptive repairs in 2015- power steering pump was getting noisy and the rack had a small leak, ball joints replaced, belt tensioner, brakes, valve adjustment in which only two needed a little adjustment, fan clutch, a/c compressor because the fan clutch went out and the system over pressured. Still has the original lift pump and injector pump, U-joints. I've had the blend door issue, new harness on driver side rear door, factory radio finally bit the dust last year but I got a nice upgrade that brought me into the hands free Bluetooth world. It's never left me stranded. When the alternator went I found a dealer about an hour away and pulled in right as the service writer was pulling in to open up. I don't see me getting rid of it or replacing it anytime soon... I like it... Even after 11plus years...
