My 02 8.1 HD is still slappin and drinking massive amounts of oil(500 miles to the Qt).It runs strong at 56,000 miles.I think its more of an annoyance than longevity issue.Still drives me nuts.

Ive got a 97 vortec 350 with 173,000miles and I have no slap at all,runs strong and burns no oil.15.3s-15.4s in the 1/4 mile also.

I love my truck and its been great.I have had a new fuel pump and a new trnny,but what else is new the transmissions these days dont last as long as the th400s,but they did not have overdrive either.But other than that everything else has been great and strong and I hope it stays that way.Last time I went to the track in Navasota which is only an 1/8mile my buddies went and one of my buddies has a new ram with the hemi.We raced 4 times and I beat him every time.Even with 173,000miles I had beat a hemi with only 10,000 miles on it.I was happy that weekend,my truck did me proud. Dodge and the hemis
When we raced I did not have the westers PCM,so now i know I would beat him even worse.The westers made a huge difference.
