Does anybody know how many miles could an alty go b4 finally giving in? i have about 165k miles on mine. And not to be nosy but how many miles do u all have?
'94 I've owned since '95 took it from 16k to 207,000. As a side note the car was totaled in an accident in 2001 with 138k on it. I took the insurance check minus $1000, fixed it and put another 70k miles on it. best grand I've ever spent. My baby is gonna rust out before she dies I think.

yea mines the same situation...rebuilt engine and everything....never ran better
haha, if only it was poor maintenance that did them in. the first one died at 164xxx miles and the 2nd one hydrolocked at 60xxx miles. the third one was no good from the get-go. had 28k miles and started knocking 10 minutes after it was installed and started. the 4th engine, went 2 weeks and then decided to knock. it only had 30k miles on it... this next engine has 77k miles, is a 2001 model and it better run goddamnit! lol
You went through 5 engines, where they under warrenty? How is the rest of the car, esp. the body? Any pics?
My engine runs okay, but like I mentioned before the rust/ rot will kill the car first. I took the radiator out last week and the whole length of the bracket is experiencing heavy rust deposits and allso the passangers side reae wheel-well.

the 3rd and 4th engines were/are under warranty. ill make my money back on the sale of one of those warranties. the rest of the car is in pretty good shape with the exception of my radiator support. it was banged up in an accident, but my g/f's brother is a professional bodyman and will help me get it replaced. my car runs good otherwise, ran a 14.1 a couple months ago on a hot desert night and will run a 13 in the next month or so.
