Me too. It took me a while to figure out what the difference was. I knew that something looked different when I glanced at the display, but I couldn't pinpoint the lines at first.

Is that a trick question? LOL

175k on mine. Engine still feels strong and tranny is what it is. Interior is still great except for a few cracks in the wood trim. Paint is holding up better than expected. No problems with the SBC. Everything else isnt good. Like Vette said, too many problems. Buying the first model year on a next gen car isnt worth it and i probably wont do it again...

No problems with either, but front ball joints went south on me. No major issues to speak of.

Why so much? I was under the impression that you do not need to do the fuel filter.

I generally steer clear of that. I will change the transfluid etc, but not flush.

After having to replace a transmission after a flush and never having a problem with just s standard trans service I have stopped doing the flushes, except hitting straight flushes in texas holdem.
