    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    At the end of the day, we all drive bricks Its quite literally that. Bricks The fact that we get the mileage we do is a damn miracle in itself, 454 bro gets 10 to the gallon, if not less

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    I currently have the following: 33 inch tires 3.73 gears 4L60E (overdrive) Stanadyne lubricant per fill up 4x4 abilities Don't see how mileage could be suffering under those conditions, if anything, my gear ratio and tire size plus the overdrive should help it (not including the turbo)

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    Thats what I was saying, ive reached down there, it'll be difficult to get a rachet in there, was very tight when I tried 454 country bro: dude you'll be fine, you worry about this thing too much, many 6.2s dont have those starter bbrackets and theyre fine, they dont have any reinforced oil...

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    Nope, its only when its cold Granted, its been very warm here this past week (+85°F), if it does smoke, its very little and dissipates fairly quickly, I guarantee when winter comes (it gets down to -20°F) it'll start to smoke like a damn chimney.
