Liveto99 Posted June 22, 2018 I have 16 NV2500's on the road and just blew a motor with 126,301 miles on it. The 6 cylinder? Anyone else?I have had 2 totaled in accidents and lost 2 others to fires. 1 was the wiring harness as we drove down the road. I have yet to have one make 150,000 does anyone have high miles on one yet? Looking to make another fleet purchase and wondering. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark Rogers Posted June 22, 2018 I haven't heard of blown motors or fires with these vans. It makes me wonder what your drivers are doing with them. Maybe it's just really bad luck, I don't know. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mk1_62 Posted June 22, 2018 I think a v6 is underpowered for the size of the vehicle. I have no idea about the harness fire, but I can bet you the v8 will last a lot longer since it's not working near as hard. 1 Mark Rogers reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
radin2son Posted June 22, 2018 liveto99, only you can answer this. What vans did you use prior to NVs? Maintenance? Drivers? Use/load/route? Cost to own/lease? Compare and decide... There have been some mega mile V8 posts but none for the V6 in an NV. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mdsnyder108 Posted August 3, 2018 (edited) I've got 208,000 on my V6 2500 with no issues. Just went up Mt. Washington and couldn't believe the newer cars overheating on a nice day at 55 degrees. Ran it on the worst roads I've ever encountered on the James Bay Route and Route due Nord through northern Quebec with no issues at all. When I say worst I've driven the Trans Labrador Highway and the Dempster. Great vehicle, getting 18-21 mpg even through the mountains.
