:poke: SES :lol:


Good stuff man!

[Bentley813]

I just rolled past 111111 miles the other day, not sure if she'll ever hit your mark though :p

[AtomicPunk]

holy hell!! 200,000?!?! well then again i cant give you too much trouble, my girlfriend '03 Nissan Frontier has over 300,000!
how does it run with all those miles?

[Jonbo298]

Mine is still so young :( It'll cross 30,000 today since I have to get a bunch of stuff ready for moving.

[GMFWDFAN]

Very nice. Mine's going to hit 117,000 soon and it kinda depresses me.

[Makgizzle187]

damn i couldnt imagin hitting that many, mine just hit 110,000 after about a 100 mile trip saturday

[[ChaosweaveR]]

Man, I just rolled past 82k today. One day I'll hit that mark. ;)

[sammybammy]

172,500 on my 97. glad to see she's runnin well

[JBlack16]

Geesh and I thought 75K was bad the other day! I am worried about hitting the 100K mark.

[ManktheTank19]

Wow, that is very nice

I am about to hit 80k on my 1995 GA

[Bouchie11982]

HAHA it hit 200,000k and the service engine soon light is on :lol: ironic!

[HotRedGA]

SES light is because of an EVAP code, and misfires in cyl 3 and 6.. The injectors I think are shot..

It is kinda sad that 200k is a bragging right for our cars in this era.. She didn't put those miles on easily..

around 20k of those miles are pure stop and go city pizza delivery. 50k of those were in the wonderful hills of Pittsburgh. The we throw in the few years (the early years) of bracket racing at the local track.

Its only been the last 50k miles that have been the nice and easy 120 mile per day 90% highway commute.

I digress too, I bought a motorcycle last spring and so it's lessened the abuse some.. On the other hand I've put about 15,000 miles on the bike since I got it.

Maybe if I can quit dropping money into the bike I can give her a 200k rebuild.. maybe retire her to a bracket/show car. I wouldn't hold my breath though. :)

I wonder if GM would give me a free SC/T hood if I could make it to 250,000 miles..haha

[Bouchie11982]

haha i got you beat and my car is a year older. 47k

[GregFarz78]

GM should rebuild the engine for you for free if you get 250,000 miles out of a 3400...put you in a commercial or something lol

[jordanGT]

47,000? Gee...go drive your car, katie. :lol:

[Bouchie11982]

haha not with gas prices the way they are

[Grims01GT]

I hit 104,000 yesterday lol

[AznGA]

Wow, my 02 GA GT with 134k miles looks and runs like new.

Hopefully yours will run well for a while.

[trogdorpontiac]

i think i will roll 130k this week, that'll be 15k since it was mine and it got a new engine, so mine better make it to 200k!

[PORTMAN96]

damn, rare too see. my 96 is at 98k just today! soon to hit the 100k :(

[HotRedGA]

Someone at work asked me what the trick was to reach 200k in a GAGT.. I jokingly told him keep an inventory of brake pads and rotors and replace everything regularly and it will run forever..:lol:

Then I told him straight up, the 3400 is a lot more durable than people give it credit for.. Keep the oil changed and get rid of the dexcool and there's a chance it'll run forever.

At least its not like my old GA with a quad 4.. Because I so enjoyed chattering cams and a blown head gasket.. (not bouncing the rev limiter regularly had anything to do with it..:D) I still miss that car.

maybe I should shop around for another Gen 2 SE for a commuter car..

[TigerNation10]

Just rolled over 66K in my '02.

[Meathead]

I feel like a little youngin, I have under 30k on my car, haha.

[SleepinGA01]

Mine just hit 83,000 and the motor is starting to tick..:eek:

Wait, you can switch the coolant to regular?

[sammybammy]

wy the hell did i have to reply to this thread lol. i hit 173 and now its missing BAD.

[Corey213]

get rid of the dexcool.



so if i just got my radiator flushed, am I doing pretty good?

mine just bumped past 111,111 miles

[Lennyzgt]

yes, as far as i know all you have to do is flush the system of dexcool and fill it with the green stuff. ive been thinking of doing it, but the coolant in my car is still clean so i dont see a point for me. besides i hear mixed reviews on dexcool anyway so im not sure.
