My Zetek died at 169,000. Those we not highway miles either. Back and forth to work 5 years straight since I have had her and no problems, started everyday till I lost my headgasket and toasted the engine. Saving $$ to put a Junkyard engine in it to see how much more I can get out of it. Tranny was fine before it happened, I had an occasional O/D light flashing and a rough shift for a while but it always seemed to pass. I think it was a bad sensor. Like said in the previous post, if you take care of them (routine maint) they will last a long time. I miss my tour, cant wait to get her fixed.
