So that's pretty cool! Other than a needed trans upgrade, everybody is pulling decent power without actually touching the motor itself. I must say, I've been pretty impressed. Only real work done was replaceing trans (Thanks to left foot), and believe it or not the injectors, and recently the CP3 (only because I boogered a bolt on fpr and needed to pull whole thing to replace it. Other than that, simple stuff.

She was stock for about 40k then put an Edge 90 on it till about 112,000. Then got the trans built, lift pumps and all that good stuff. Run a 500rwhp tune now. Truck has 140,000 on her and still runnin like a champ.

I stopped DD'n it because it was going to get me into to much trouble. So now it is just a tow rig/ toy

I made it to 85,000 miles with the stock LLY motor, built trans since 15,000 (trans has never been out of the truck since then, still the same one at 101,000 now), aftermarket turbo since 20,000. Beat the crap out of it, over 100 1/4 mile passes, 106+ mph trap speeds weighing 7500lbs, finally gave up and cracked 5 pistons. I did not break the stock rods.

Built the motor myself with aftermarket rods at 85,000, ran it at roughly the same power level as with the stock motor, except I added twins. That motor lasted 15,000 miles and gave up at 100,042 miles. Broke 2 aftermarket rods and bent the remaining 6. :rolleyes:

now I have 101,xxx miles, back to stock (LBZ short block), and running a completely stock tune, except with bigger injectors and twin turbos.

Bought my truck new w/ 102 miles on it. Put the predator tuner on it @ 200miles ran that for a while then stacked the Mp-8 on it. Sold both and bought ppe+2 at 20k ran it for about 15k miles then sold it and bought EFI live where I switch between a 420hp and 500+ race tune. Truck has 52k on it gettin ready for a second snail... See how much longer she lasts:eek:

Mine recently dropped to 11.5 mpg. I changed the FPR & CP3 a week ago. Hopefully I'll start seeing an improvement.

Purchased my 05 shimmed the rail the next day and reroughted the PCV
week later had EFI
toasted the trans after a few weeks
4 months later added duel cp3s
30 000 miles later blew the motor
10 000 more miles on the new motor and decided to retire the truck and make it a work truck.
It now has about 80k miles on the body ,And the trans has 300k and the motor has about 40k

Bought mine bone stock with 59,600 miles on it in January of 08. Had an Edge with additude on it by the second week. In march 08 I had the suncoast IV installed and started to run the PPE Hot+2 on the 350hp tune. In april 08 I installed the AirDog 150 and the water/meth. July I installed the HTT turbo. August I started using EFI Live. That's how it sits now and it has 64,700 miles on it. 5100 miles in 13 months. I also just sold my Cool Duals to some guy in Jerzy.:hello:

I bought my 06 new off the lot and within 3k had an edge evo on it. Ran the evo until 12k and then got Efilive and upgraded the trans and converter along with a few other mods in sig. I currently have 31,743 miles on it and seldom change the tune away from the race tune from idahorob. Cant stand running small tunes once you know what the truck is capable of.:D

LOL, yup that was me. We can give it a go again after the EFI Live class. ;) I need to refine my tuneup a little and the canned tunes are wearing thin.
