about 200,000 on this one. The first motor died at about 100k the second at about 200k, then he had it built up to be tougher. It is still going strong, whoever did the work was good.

The valve covers leak, the paint is faded and it is kind of dirty, but it runs strong!

I tried to do this last night, FTE was acting up.

So you have done roofing too? I will fix just about any thing for cash, including two roofs.
I am saving up for college next fall.

no, he just needed help unloading it all.
he has a full time crew, but they were all out at the airshow, so he asked me for some help, and it involved cash, so I can't say no

I have no experience with a V-10, I did not know they pulled that hard.

I was just browsing around and was curious if anyone can tell me why transfer case shift boots are so expensive for our trucks? Mine is fine, but I was just wondering.
