Hey guys
Well,I just changed out my original water pump after 215,900 miles.:thumbsup:
My 1998 Chevy K1500 has treated me pretty darn good so far.
I've always heard that car makers,(maybe all manufacturers for that matter) will install the very best parts at the factory. It kind of makes sense,that they would want your parts to at least outlast the warranty,but after that,I guess it's more of a crap shoot.
I won't complain one bit,when this thing starts to nickel and dime me. Other than the usual stuff,tires,brake parts,fluids,everything is original!
I just need 'er to last maybe three more years,until we get the wifes Equinox paid off. I'm sure to be closing in on 300 by then.
Oh,one other thing. The older this 5.7L gets,my mpg average has actually increased. Strange but true. I've been at or slightly over 18mpg this entire year. Everything is nice and broke in now.
