Mileage Reply #18 – April 01, 2009, 10:23:03 PM 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. Quote Selected
Mileage Reply #19 – April 01, 2009, 10:34:47 PM 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. Quote Selected

It also did get new exhaust once.:D Quote Selected
