I'm at 247k miles but was a Southern car all of its life so I dont see any rust or corrosion concerns. Is this where short/long tube headers come into play? I wonder if a 1 set that handles everything is available (headers/ypipe/cats).
Also, on a stock truck, is it even helpful/necessary?
THANK YOU! I seen another that came up that is also compatible with our trucks. Much cheaper. Any reason I should go for the 51578? Here are details:
Model 51578...
As I build the courage to do my own cat replacements, I think of the biggest issues people have regarding those manifold bolts breaking/stripping where it connects to y-pipe. I wonder, wouldnt it be easier to buy new/upgraded manifolds and remove from there instead of the y-pipe.
Also, what is...
You must do all highway driving and never stop lol. I get over 50k for sure but nowhere near 250k. I changed my front pads twice since ownership at 120k and currently at 245k
I always wanted that one. You got the 3.5 liter vs my 3.0, 6 speed manual vs my 5 speed and first ever HID headlights. Definitely would get one as a daily driver.
That is not what I wanted to hear! Can you detail us on mileage when you got the tune and how long before lifter went out? I got the tune around 150k miles and currently at 245k miles.
I had to pay $3 a month for photobucket to give me access to my account but I found half my cars and my goodness the memories! Can you tell I miss them? Most recent
Love the stories guys, the inspiration for people still in it that its not too late to change and get better for themselves. Weed legal many places now so.... :) :)
Edit: I shared some of the vices mentioned but all seemed controlled except cars. I wasted so much money on cars and dont...
There are so many variables in this. I dont think there is a right answer for all. Some are not handy nor have the tools. Even with all the stuff needed, every car has different levels of reliability/maintenance and can require different levels of skills/tools to resolve issues. Imagine you...
LOL I really underestimated how many cars go through those systems and worst, how many people wait until the last minute. I see how far people go in here with catch cans and such thinking i'm doing the bare minimum but in reality....i heard a high percentage of the population dont even do...
Interesting enough, the only time I had an oil issue of any sort (oil sensor bad) was when I used a Mobil 1 filter for the first and only time. I'm sure its not related but just interesting... I also sit around 30 idle.
Coming from European where the demand was higher, these trucks seem simple on maintenance. But a lot of the owners in here including myself are second hand owners. I guess its just luck of the draw who you buy from. Those ridiculous recommended intervals dont help I'm sure.
Though, I'm...
