Thanks.
Here is my roster of high mileage cars. No overheats ever:
1993 ISuzu NPR box truck dsl: 298,000 miles
1987 SDL: 334,000
1988 - Camry 140,000 - runs like a new car
1993 E150 Econolone 250,000 owned since new, runs great
2000 Jeep 100,000 miles
1993 E350 135,000
1993 Chevy Astro - 155,000
1988 Chevy G-20 4.3 litre v-6 Has about 375,000 on the body. Swapped out the original engine last year after about 340,000 - WOW.
Please note I live in hot as hell Florida.
The only time in the last 15 years a car overheated on me was once when I lent my sister an old Puegot I had. Great running car. The water pump failed on her. She decided to try and hurry home so I can hear the rattleing noise and steam coming out of the car.
