  • 99,6XX Miles... Uh-oh

    My car has around 99,6XX miles on it, and when I was driving around today the "Sorry You're ****ed" light came on my gauge cluster... Hopefully it isn't anything serious. I changed my oil today and after i restarted it, the light wasn't on but I have a feeling I haven't seen that last of it...

      could be anything oxygen sensors, egr, bad sensor.

      Who knows but they do say soon as your car hits 100K miles things tend to die. And my car at 133k has seen many many many Replacements.

        No doubt... Needless to say if that engine is coming out at all she's not going back in with stock replacement parts

                Agreed with Joel - just because it's nearing the 100k mark you shouldn't be yanking the motor out. Hell, I know a guy on LTxTech that has 5x,xxx on the motor and he already spun a bearing. Could definitely be a number of things. Next time the SES light comes on, go to Autozone and have them scan your car so you can find out what code it is.

                  I agree and Auto Zone will scan it for free But it is probably something simple like an 02 sensor...

                      Not buying that.
                      My Iroc had 200k on it and ran fine before it got a neww engine cuase I wanted more power. My 1992 cutlass has 220k on it and I drive it 60 miles a day with no issues. Most cars die from lack of maintenance.

                        true that but i meant simple stuff like o2's, Alternators, Waterpumps. Things like that my truck has 302k miles and only thing i've replaced is exactly those parts and she still runs mean with that 5.3 LSX

                            I'd have to agree with that. A poorly maintained car will die with maybe 100k miles on it while a properly maintained car might last 250k miles. It just depends. And just for shits and giggles what kinds cash would one throw down for a ls1 to be bored to a 383?

                              My truck has 201,xxx miles and the bird is less than 5,000 miles from 200,000. Maintain them and keep them forever!!!
