129,500 out of the old premagger, that thing saw less that 25k easy miles
in it's life, all 3 people that ever drove that truck beat it profusely and
it loved it, before it developed some blow by and a blown head gasket i
managed to use less than a quart of oil every 3k miles... Oh and way to go
buddy... so is that addicting or what, my only thing when i let someone
drive my truck is just to keep it off the limiter because that is all i try
to do, i have to hit it once...
