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.

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.

prob never will. but somone being surprised their product lasted doesn't show confidence. better for them to be ****y and say "i knew it would".

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.
