I just brought a 2000 lighting w 45000. How many miles can I plan on getting out of the L. I want to keep it for a LONG time. Post how many miles are on your truck.

 

i have 900 trouble free miles on my 03. hoping to make it to the oil change without getting a dose of the clack

 

03? I don't remember you asking permission. I have 67K+ on original engine/transmission on my 99.

Lightning last you long time.

 

I think we have someone here with over a 100,000, right?

 

Am unsure, not alot of people have posted replys. and at what cost have their L's lived on

i did ask your second, GoRila, and he said "if you got da chedda, git dat blingmobile over here, so's i could show you GoRila's mad skilz, or something.

so i did

 

Just went over the 14K mark on my 2002 L. Hoping to get the same miles that I got out of my 90 Nissan Sentra which I used to drive to LA from San Diego back and forth 5 days a week while attending school. As I recall it had 336,000 miles on the original motor.

 

Also remember that an L in stock form, while not as fast ::cough::fun::cough:: will last longerwithout problems than heavily modded ones. Many of the horror stories you read here are results of pushing the envelope....I know of another person in S Fl who has 92K miles on a 2000, with zero problems other than tires that lose tread quickly.

 

Word.

 

i hope to hit 100,000 in 10 more years
