Original owner 225,000 miles
Oil was changed every 5,000 miles. Cam shaft replaced at 150,000 miles
At 209,000 miles a manual transmission swap and BSD was completed. I bought the entire kit from Dutch Auto Parts - 5 speed FHN transmission, clutch, CV joints, etc. Balance shaft delete was from Cascade Germany with BRM parts. Timing belt, water pump, serpentine belts replaced. All new rotors and brake pads installed.
About a year ago I replaced front struts, all 8 suspension arms, tie rods,sway bar links, right side motor mount.
Recently I replaced all 4 brake calipers, window actuator in drivers door, and the back half of the exhaust with Tech tonics 2.5 inch.
My wife had a light deer hit last year. The radiator did not start to leak until about a week later but it was replaced along with the headlights, radiator support, and I put a new skid plate on. The bumper cover has a slight crack and I just used JB weld.
I buy all my parts from ECS tuning. I never did the ECU re tune so the lights are on. I installed an oil pressure gauge
My wife is saying the A/c seems weak. Two tires are brand new, the others are like new.
I have a separate set of rims with snow tires. I still have original transmission, TCU etc
