I got a little smoke like your talking about, around the same mileage time as you. I switched to a high mileage oil and that seemed to help. The thing I’m worried about is my transmission. Its ganna need to be rebuilt soon. MustangEater82 10-22-2002, 05:58 PM Originally posted by stars1010 106,000 as of this week and still runs hardcore!

I trap higher in the 1/8 th than you do in the 1/4. J all kinds of them specially those new 03 Cobras! Jeez I think I gotta give up this name 3rd time this week having to explain it. I had an 85 camaro in highschool 2 friend of mine had foxbody 5.0s, that used to waste me. One of my first screenames online was MustangEater, I kept it jsut to keep pissing them off. Jsut stuck, I think I have had it since 99, thats coming up on 4 years of having it jsut haven't really thoguht of changing it. MustangEater82 10-23-2002, 04:21 PM by the way my car has taken a beating and the motor still runs strong, well strong for a 3.4L. All I have ever done is adjsut the rockers, and replace a coolant sensor, are the only things I really every touched that touches the main block of the motor. Well if oyu do not count the flyeheel, tranny, 4 clutches, driveshaft and rear end I have ahd to repalce do to my driving habits. stars1010 10-23-2002, 04:25 PM Originally posted by MustangEater82 all kinds of them specially those new 03 Cobras!

Ahh ignore TA2play;), he's just bitter because his last car was a 95' 5.0. I finally got him to wise up and buy a TA. And John my car is too hardcore!:D TA2PLAY 10-23-2002, 05:09 PM I was just giving you a hard time mustangeater, you guys 3.4's run well for what they are. Stef, let me know when you wanna run that little hardcore job of yours for some cash, I'll break out the karman ghia and we'll go at it.

Nothing bad has happened to it, and I can't detect any problems as of yet, but since my mom has a 96 Grand Voyager on its 3rd trans with 75K, I am weary. BTW, I have 95,500.
