So how many have built motor (rods/pistons/etc) in their daily driver? And I'm talking full commutes and long mileage trips, not just a night on the town!

3 years 3 months and 53k on the motor now. I dd mine everyday and I make trips back to Md from Kc Mo every 2 to 3 month.

This maybe true ! But at least we can say all those revs and she's still running like a champ !

All these daily driven built motors make me feel a little better. If (more like when) I build my motor I will want to drive it more than I do now!
I just want to see how many of these trucks weren't just toys or spare trucks and are actually worked.
I knew Josh ran his and Everett runs his daily.
Josh, you ever figure out why your piston let go??

Rev limiter? What Rev limiter?
I daily drove my built motor truck with an S475 single, then S480 single with 100% overs and dual fuelers. I ended up losing a cut and coated piston after about 12K miles, but at the end I was also spraying the hell out of it and knew the pistons weren't going to last. That truck is being "retired" to a strictly daily driver, but will still be a built motor with all the parts it had before, plus oversized Mahle High Performance cast pistons. The nitrous is off of it and it got downsized to a BatMo S366, should still be able to do 800+ but will very rarely get pushed that hard.
I also bought a Regular Cab to turn into a dedicated race truck and to keep myself from being tempted to beat on my DD.
Longevity will depend on how it's built, what kind of power it has, and how you drive and take care of it; just like it would on a stock motor.
thats the way to do it right there have ur dd that u can rely on for work and play be able to stomp anybody on the street then when the weekend rolls around hook up ur trailor and head to the track thats the drection i would like to head if i can ever get my life straighten out
i have a dd with a built motor. got built in april and has about 7k miles on it. 100 over injectors and a S472 with a single WD stage III pump. plus everything else you do to a motor
i plan to DD mine. will be pushing around 650-700rwhp, have dual fuelers, and will be towing 10k+ on a monthly basis as well as used for long road trips.
Lol nope probably the only guy on here that hasn't raced or pulled after the build
I daily drove mine, pulled my work equipment, took trips and ran it every once in a while too. I had a problem with the motor after it had a frame change. Finally will be getting it back together soon. It had 63K on it. When the shop changed the motor over they damaged the crank snout which caused some internal damages. Reliability will depend on the end user.
