S-series trucks will last forever if you take care of them....our Sy only has 68K, but the S-15 has 202,xxx. Orginal engine (except valve seals), trans, x-case, etc.:tup:

I remember Chris (his last name escapes me) had a Sy with 250k+ miles @ Nationals in 1999 and ran a low 13 with that truck (bone stock). Friggin nutz. He started tearing into after NATS, IIRC, but it had a ton-o-miles at that time. Someone chime in and give specifics. Adam? Ian? Bueller?

25 yrs old and can't remember the name of some guy I met once 8 years ago.......what a shame. ;)

Re: Who's truck has the highest miles??

My 93 Ty is at about 160,000, original motor, turbo, trans. Other than mostly minor maintenace stuff, knock on wood...so far nothing major has had to be replaced. Had some ball joints and idler arm done about 1-1/2 yr ago. I've replaced starter and idler arms probably 3 or 4x's. Doesn't smoke, runs pretty well for the most part. Original paint is starting to get kinda thin, have to look at getting it painted before too many more years.

It was at KC2000 when Chris Nolke brought his Sy with 250,000 on it. He hadn't had the truck long back then, and drove it out from Texas, raced well, and drove it back! Think he said the person he bought it from used it as a company truck(Imagine that!)Seems like his wife had her own Camaro race car(or something like that). Nice folks, haven't seen him around in a long time on the board

Re: Who's truck has the highest miles??

the stock tranny didnt go out in this truck until 240k same with the turbo but like i said this guy had every service done on time and drove it like a old lady. i havent totally added it up but there is somewhere around 15k in parts and maintence records for this ty. I wonder what the record is for the highest mileage on a original motor sy or ty is I hope Im #1 lol

Almost 300K, that is very impressive. I start worrying over 150K miles on these engines. Hopefully you didn't jinx yourself before it hit 300K.
