Poachers Go To Prison

[Gamma Fish]

hate  to  say this  but  new  cars  last  longer  then older  cars  and  thats a  fact
100,000  miles  was  considered  a lot on a  car  in the  60's  early  70's  now  it's  nothing  , i'm no  expert  but i think  between improvements  in oil  and  computor  controled  cars   last  longer

Ya Think ?

Unless your talking about the Chrysler slant 6.  I had a Duster..'73 that had 90,000 on it when I bought it. I drove it for another 150,000, and traded it, along with the 340 I took out of my Duster Demon for a Ramcharger.  Last I knew that old original slant 6 was still going. My Demon blew up in a few months after putting the  460 out of the Ramcharger in it. (but I wasn't easy on that motor in either vehicle... )
Biggest problem I'm dealing with today is the fact that people think because the "blue book" says the thing is worth X amount it is. Most are worth 1/2 to 3/4 of that.

I have owned a lot of vehicles especially from the 60's and 70's. Chevy inline sixes were good for 200,000 miles all the time and got 20 mpg back then. We had a Olds 350 that had 225,000 and got 23 mpg. Those mpg were all with 2bbl carburetors. Imagine what you could get out of them with todays refinements. My dad had two Chevy trucks 79 and 85 with 350's that got 300,000 miles on them and he was the worst for maintenance ever. All the cars had personality back then too.

The best things about the new cars are the steering systems and the comfortableness of the seats.

It is such a sham what the auto industry (big 3) does with mpg, they could do much better, but refuse too. And it is getting so you can hardly find just a basic car on a lot anymore. They have 30 gizmo's and trinkets you don't need to justify the prices they charge, and they all look the same to boot.

 I switched to Toyota. You can buy a basic model, they run to 300,000 miles, and their paint doesn't look like it washed out or peeled away after 5 years.

I know this probably  isn't possible but I swear... that if I got fuel and left my truck running the check engine light would come on.   I have a code reader now !!

its possible, found out quite a few vehicles do this
the light comes on superduty and trailblazer if you leave it running or forgot to tighten the cap

[trapper2000]

the  code  will be a  large  evap  leak  ....  if  you  get a  small  evap leak  code  that  can suck  tracing  it
