Re: Calling all high mileage cars!!!

Lol, this thing is going again, time for me to add to it.

1997 S-10 4x4. 4.3L V6, 5-speed manual. Just shy of 175,000 miles. So far we've changed the clutch twice, the A/C compressor locked up, and blew the intake gasket. Gasket happened at 173K-ish. That's pretty much it. I'm gettin 22mpg city or backroads, and 26mpg highway. Truck hasn't been babied that much either, we've used it to haul some major loads, which is why the it's on the third clutch in it's lifetime at 175K. I'd guess we've hauled things over 8000lbs with it on a few times. The trailer we used each time was borrowed from a man with a construction company. He used the trailer to haul a Caterpillar D5 Dozer, which weighs around 30,000 lbs. So the trailer is pretty beefy to hold that.
^That looks like the one he had.

The 99 Camaro is pushing up on 89K miles now, runs like a champ. No major problems, just stupid passenger side power window motors.

Before I finished reading your post I thought you were talking about the dozer getting 22mpg
