Lightning's with high miles...
How many of your Lightning's have 100,000+ miles on them?
My 99' has just over 111,000 on it and runs great,but then again it's the only Lightning that I ever been in. How long does the supercharger usualy go befor they need rebuilt? |
Hey, that's good news Bluevenom! My '99 has around 65K and runs perfect. Looks like I'll be able to say the same thing 50,000 miles from now.
Good luck, bro. Mike :beers: |
i dont have 100 yet but im getting close. i think im sitting around 74,500 and still running great :rocker: (knock on wood)
|
86k on my '99 and still going strong. I'll be looking for a supercharger upgrade before before I hit 100k though.

My Lightning isn't up there but I have an meticulously maintained 89 SC with an Eaton M90 with 325K in my garage. Sure it has a bunch of highway miles on it but it still has the original Eaton pushing 15psi. For that reason, it will take a super salesman to convince me that XX is better than the EAton on my bolt. Long-term reliability, you just can't beat Eaton. I met a few engineers at Sema last year and told them this. They were quite impressed.

158,210 miles. Already driven 100 miles today.
I had to replace the rear springs and rear axle seals this weekend (not too difficult, but a lot of work). Still running strong every day. |
