How are the high mileage SS/SC's holding up?
How are the high mileage SS/SC's holding up?
I'm at 105,000 currently. No oil consumption. Oil changed per OLM with Mobil-1 5W-30 and NAPA Gold oil filter. Everything else maintenance wise is done according to the schedule in the owners manual. Maybe a little sooner.
105k
clutch and related at 60k
lca, tierods, and all related (front and rear) at 75k
timing tensioner at 90k
tires
brakes 2 times (rotors and pads)
honestly, it has been reliable as **** and never had a big or odd failure. All routine stuff.
and my car has been on GMSTG2 for the first 50k, Trifecta Stage 2 for about 20k, and a 2.9 with 60's for the rest of the time.

I know mine is not really considered high miles or at least not in my book, but the way mine runs I would trust it to drive to California and back no hesitation

I did the clutch because the crap LSJ TOB blew apart.
I did the suspension because I switched everything to MOOG greasable.
I did the LCA because I installed LNF control arms and solid CABs.
The only thing the car ever needed was a clutch. The rest was wants and maintaining it. My LSJ will see 200k if the new owner takes care of it like I have.

Traded mine in back in December 2012 with 105K miles. Only thing I replaced were the brakes right before I traded her in. Everything else was perfect. Nothing else was wrong. Although, I did replace a couple bulbs that went out in the lights, but that's it. Oil change & filter, every 3500 to 5K miles.
194000 miles on mine, only stuff I changed was because I upgraded.
only major overhaul was last year at 165k miles did new cltuch, brembo brakes, lnf suspension, new control arms and powell cab's.
decided to change out the motor a few weeks ago, definitely didn't have to as it ran perfectly fine and I beat the **** out of it. motor looks like new internally just leaked a bunch of oil

Just over 86,000 miles
Only repair related issues ive had was the flex pipe on the downpipe replaced in the fist year I owned it.
I need to install the new CAB's I have.
Obviously preventative maintenance like oil changes, TB cleaning, etc..
Otherwise every change has been just because I wanted to (spark plugs, pads n rotors, intake (back to stock now)).
She's been good to me, but i like to think its cause I've been just as to to her!
