As far as I can tell, mine has the original engine, trans, transfer case, and associated parts, with 210k miles. The suspension, cooling, and peripheral parts (SAP, windshield, O2 sensors & exhaust, hubs & wheel bearings) though, have been renewed at some time over the last 20 years.
Oh, and the Vanos and chains & guides are renewed, only a few months ago. However, looks like the DISA and CCV have been neglected!

264,000 miles with original engine, transmission, transfer case and differentials. Of course everything in the suspension has been replaced. I put coil overs on and lowered it 2". That necessitated adjustable control arms in the rear for alignment. O2 sensors have been replaced. Did the CCV delete and added an oil catch can. Put the upgrade into the DISA. Replaced the windshield years ago because it was badly pitted. Most everything in the cooling system has been replaced. Pretty much everything else is original to the truck.
