Very cool man! Congrats! I got excited when I got to 80K miles, I couldn't imagine 200K! What's cool about your truck is the fact that you've done performance mods to it and ragged on it a little. Usually all the cars that make it that long with no failures, are all stock and they're babied.

Congrats on the miles, does it still feel strong and not smoke?

glad to see someone else got a 60E that has held up. I had a heads/cam/full bolt on with a 225 shot and nothing more than vette servos in the trans. I got rid of it at around 70k miles and the trany was perfect. The 4k stall did raise the trany temps alittle though.

Kinda helps proove my openion that all these people with basic bolt on 4.8L and 5.3L trucks that are on there 3rd and even 5th trans, they are more than likely the problem in some way.
