Most original miles on a 4.0L I6
I am told that my 1993 4.0 is just a baby with only 246K. What is the most miles anybody has (original, not re-build) some of the claims I have heard seem like "Fish Tales!"...

Half a million, at least what I heard from an employee at Auto Zone. If properly maintained, they generally last 300-500K and the same if rebuilt. I wouldn't say 250K is a baby. It's flat wearing out at that point in some way. Even my 140K 4.0L already has engine blowby.

Interesting. So what can I do at this point to "fix" it other that proper maintenance without a rebuild?

mine has around 192k and it runs fine for the most part, it has idling issues and when i first got it it ran rough as hell but some injector cleaner fixed that now i just got the high idle :P but i know for a fact mine wasnt maintained at all before i owned it (it didnt even have a thermostat when i got it)

My gf and I are in a race to see how many miles we can put on our jeeps. She has a 2000 auto with 210K and I have a 95 manual with 213K, both run great. Much better than our 1st jeep which was a 96 auto with 188K but i think thats because a woman drove it for most of its life. I think she's going to win because i drive the **** out of mine, NO MERCY!!!!
