My 92 Dak LE with 3.9L/5sp has 225k on the clock.

- replaced timing chain set and water pump at 110K as a precaution.
- replaced all ft end bushing with Prothane bushing set at 125k for improved
handling
- replaced original u-joints last month at 223k
- added Jacobs ignition at 75K - it died at 185k and the stock ignition was
reconnected to keep her rollin'
Other than those things, all else has been normal maintenance.

Original clutch, brake discs and drums and wheel bearings still in service

What a great truck!
