130K and still Going Strong

[FRDRCING]

Not sure who out there besides me has as many miles on there truck like I do. But last friday on the way home rolled 130k. For the members who have been around for a long time, know that is awesome for the history of my truck. The KB still pulls good on the street with a low 12* timing on it. Stock motor and Trans. still going and I am starting to be convinced that the motor is never going to blow in this truck unless I force it to:evil. Thought the trans would be the first to go as what Jeff thought. But it still chirps second gear with the old line mod upgrade only.

Picture is a little blurry since I was rushed at the stop light trying to take the picture.

not sure.... Maybe Dana can start a poll. :twitch:

For those not in the know there is a truck in Richardson Texas that cannot be blown up no matter what size pulley the owner use's or how nice of a motor he keeps as a plant stand in his garage.:D

PS SO did her first DE in the Porch and she is hooked. Also saw the owner of Eagles do a session in the GT3 RS TT and was very impressed

I think it's just a TV stand now with NASCAR and the NFL on at the same times...not sure where this picture came from;)

Let's not get Dana started on another poll-fest, please. :icon_smile:

Well done, Tyson. :tu:

Wonder if my old truck is still alive and running. Sold it in March of '05 with 117k on it.

Tyson I believe Blaine over at PSI has close to 180K on his 2003 Lightning.......Impressive to say the least. Especially with the power these trucks make and you know they aren't babied miles haha

That is awesome, but if you knew the history behind my truck. You would be amazed it is still running as strong as it is today.

[dizzygoat]

That is awesome. makes me feel even better about trying to get in one of these. The blocks are cast iron im assuming and not aluminum?
Oh and there is a silver L in Royse City dropped on 20's i went to school with him, and looked at his truck the other day. 130k+ miles, pullied and its seen a decent amount of track time, the thing is still running strong and looks immaculate too!
