wow, that's really impressive!

he had to change his oil every 4 days :eek: :eek:

Now if they could only get Ferrari engines to last that long :)

Ahem, I haven't seen any 1,000,000 mile Porsche engines either there buddy.....

Wow!

notice the Ford never made it that far ;)

You're not looking hard enough! :D

yeah that's cause ford sucks :D then again so does chevy... but why'd it run to a million? :confused: this is confusing.... i thought jap and euro cars were more reliable!!
since jap and euro cars are the best! :)

But then again that is nothing compred to that Volvo P1800, and there is a Ssangyong Musso Diesel that has gone 900,000 kilometers and the engine hasn't even been touched......................

A Volvo P1800 holds the record for miles on a gasoline engine, 1.6 million miles and still running...

Almost any engine will if you take it easy and change the oil every 3,000.

yeah you guys are right... but this is so surprising because it's a Chevy Pick-Up!! who expects that to run to a million miles! :D

900,000km is alot less than 1 million miles though.

Do you mean it was never touched though? No check ups, etc.?

hehe, that was a funny episode. There was some big media event and he was to recieve a new Viper, when his car hit 999,9999. He forgot to put the park brake on, and it rolled down the hill, and clocked it to 1. :hehe:

hahahaha i remember that!!! i can't believe i remember that... he kept driving up and down the street to get more mileage :hehehe: :D

Pretty remarkable - but the fact that he had a good maintenance schedule, and the truck was driven consistently is the reason it lasted so long. I know my car won't last that long, but not because of the maintenance schedule, but my driving style - the Marquis is the only car that can take that abuse :)! I was following my dad through a construction site on the weekend (his new house), and the car kept up with his F150 no problem :). Back on topic though, if you change your oil every 5000 kms, your tranny rear end, and rad fluid once/year, plugs, pcv, and air filter once/year, any car will last for a LONG time :).
