Brakes are another story, it seems to have a voracious appetite for brake pads, but those are cheap.
You're going through brake pads because the braking system on those was designed for the 1/2 ton pickups. heh. Your Exp weighs a bit more than one of those pickups.

The V6 that was in it when he bought it was toast.
V6?!?!?! I thuoght those had straight 6's...
That's what the guy that built the engine said it should be around. He's been building them for years, so it's probably about right...Originally posted by: Angrymarshmello

I find it VERY hard to believe that a slightly built 350 makes anywhere near 340, even at the flywheel. What modifications did he do? I'm assuming at least the cam, probably heads, maybe even vortec heads/intake for that kind of hp...
What do you think the means? "Slightly built" hint hint. Geez.

You can say that again
How'd it die? Even a Dodge can make it to 100k with a bit of luckOriginally posted by: Ylen13
my 1995 altima almost did but it died before it got there. I personally have decided not to keep any cars that go over 85000 miles on odometer
