I just cracked 200K on my intercooled Roushcharged 05 SCAB. Aside from general wear and tear on 2 sets of hubs, 3 sets of rotors, 3 sets of pads, 5 sets of plugs etc... the engine and tranny are all still good. I just bought new Michelin Defenders (at 199,980) miles which carry a 70K warranty so she better last to 270K miles!

I still have 398 HP at rear wheels. 0-100 in 9.8 so she's still a 10 second truck. I've had a 170° thermostat and a heavy duty radiator for years so my baby runs cool as a cuke in summer. All I have had to do is rebuild the blower which was **** easy. (plugs were harder...seriously) New needle bearings and nose cone seals. Royal Purple fluids for over 10 years now. I bought a tranny pan with a plug in it and change out 5-6 qts every oil change. I could use my fluid extractor but no need really.

I bought this truck when she was just a pup with 234 miles on 'er Dec 21st (1st day of winter) 2005. I installed the blower and all mods and have maintained all fluids and consumable parts for the last 14 years. My wife has been through 3 cars in this time. 2 Nissan Muranos and an Acura.

 

 

Looking good!

 

Awesome …. 200,000 out of a heavy arsed hotrod. 5.4 3V is doing A-OK!

Being a flareside may not help speed or life, but it sure don't hurt neither!
