Had 225k miles on stock everything (except upper intake) before replacing the motor and transmission, along with soon all suspension and rearend. Then it will be back to the less important things (re-repaint and reupholstery). Have 23x,xxx now on the body.

One of the things I like about my car is that its been around the block a few times!  It is showing around 185,000 miles now.  My car is still on the original engine and transmission that have never been touched really.  Swapped rearends at around 183,000.  There was nothing wrong with the 7.5 and I still have it, just wanted a TC rear.  Only things i've changed other than routine maintenance are timing chain (only reason I changed it was I f'ed the orig. timing cover when changing a water pump and figured I might as well change it while I was in there), several fuel pumps, and a couple of motor mounts.  It even has the original cap and rotor still, although that will change soon.

, sounds like your rig has been through some different combo's over the years!

How could I forget I did put a new heater core in my car too...I think I must have blocked it out of my memory since it was such a traumatic experience.  It also did get new exhaust once.:D

:mullet: Idk if anybody else's car did this, but when my car was at 199,999 miles, and it went to 200,000, the odometer read "100,000", instead of 200,000.

Anybody else had that problem?

Heya Grumbles!

I am down in Sierra Vista, AZ.  "On the border" so to speak.  Handing out tickets to Chicago and other places to people who wander past!

We ought to try and get an AZ TC gathering going either in Tucson or Phoenix in the near future.
