I am at 190 K with same engine and auto trany. All is fine. on the third radtiator and, I think, third water pump, replace thrust arms, front/rear struts/shocks. 2 sets of tires and have my winter tires on second set of stock basketweave wheels.
Needs some suspension/steering work, driver's seat cover replaced (i have another one), and a few other minor things. Will keep driving it!!
Also a big stack a receipts from BMA AND my local indy. Only one from the dealer's shop and a few from their parts dept.
